I've started feeding larger prekilled to my tiny Chaerilus sp celebes like a bit of mealworm or cricket.

All my so called sp celebes turned out to be c. Variegatus. How about yours?

Not a Scooby Doo. Bought as a celebes and will never breed so I'm not bothered to be honest.

MM V.Spingigerus’ first time eating a young Dubia.

Opistophthalmus glabrifrons I picked up yesterday. Spent the first 20 minutes in the water dish when I rehoused it.

Nothing beats 12 new scorpions coming in. Here’s just a select few:
H.Cyanaues 0.1
H.Spiniffer 1.0
H.Arizonensis 0.1
Scorpious Marus 1.0
Sminigerus Mesaensis 0.1

 

[Lewis Catlin]

Sminigerus Mesaensis (Male) Absolute Beaut. Appears to pretending to be arboreal atm!

 

[Lewis Catlin]

Large Claw (Scorpios Maurus)
Desert Hairy (Hadrurus Arizonensis)
Devil Scorpion(Vaejovis Confusus)

 

[Lewis Catlin]

H.Arizonensis doesn’t like spot cleaning! He was sure wanting to sit on parts of a roach!
Ps. I am fully aware this is far from the ideal substrate for these guys- just waiting for some substrate (excavator clay) to come in!

 

[Lewis Catlin]

appears our scorpions just like children are “saving the pest part til last”

 

[Arachnid Addicted]

Heterometrus swammerdami

 

[Lewis Catlin]

Hadrurus Arizonensis (Tucson Local). This specimen appears to be more light colour almost blonde/yellow rather than the classic darker straw yellow.

My newest scorpion just received today this afternoon, it is a subadult Buthus mardochei from Morocco, the country with the richest scorpion fauna of both North Africa and the Mediterranean. It has an amazing 15 described species of Buthus.

 

[Burbotlips]

heterometrus longimanus, female I believe

 

[Outpost31Survivor]

My newest scorpion just arrived today, a beautiful male Parabuthus villosus "oranje". I really love this species and this morph.

Stretching out those digging muscles

The intent of this post is not for great pics but to show some of this scorpion's interesting behavior. It does this often. Parabuthus villosus 'oranje'
