It's true, it's like tattoos... once you get one, you get more and can't stop !

Lol that's a good point! They're just as addicting as tattoos

You can practically hear the screams of the roach.

Guys, I've invented a new scorpion trap.

This complicated, high-tech piece of machinery has been proven to outsmart the most clever of scorpions. All you have to do is set it up in the evening, in known places where scorpions congregate.

It lures them in and entraps them, lulling them to sleep until you check the trap in the morning.

It's an extremely effective, extremely sophisticated and high-tech piece of equipment. Don't wait, grab yours today!

The A. Amoreuxi is such a pretty scorpion, imo. I'd love to have one, but I imagine they're better left to more experienced owners. I still love seeing pictures of them!

They’re the biggest Androctonus sp. so they’re absolutely amazing as adults. As smaller scorpions they’re a bit quick but I’d recommend as a first Androctonus sp. as they’re not as “dangerous” as the other fat tails however they’re still medically significant.

Oh nice, I didn't realize they aren't quite as dangerous as other sp. So far they're my favorite Androctonus. If I ever get one, it'll definitely be Amoreuxi.

Added a new girl to my communal tank. Her name is Potato, pictured here with another female. See if you can guess which one is Potato, and why that's her name.

Lol, yep! She looks like a roly poly with a tail. Just ridiculously, laughably, adorably fat.

I posted this is my progression thread, but I'm freaking excited, so I want to post it here, too.

Nala had babies! Look at those precious tiny babies!

Any ideas which scorpion species this is? Bought it as a “California Swollen Stinger Scorpion” but now that I’m googling it, it’s definitely not that. It’s about 2” minus the tail. The tail is pretty long in proportion.

Sorry, accidental double post.

I'm still new, but I'll take a guess anyway. Maybe smeringurus mesaensis? I was thinking s. vachoni, but I don't think that's a popular species.

(Seriously though, I'm new and that's a guess. Wait for the more experienced and knowledgeable folks)

I think the male has the "swollen stinger", its a little bulb at the base of the aculeus. The tail on this one is long and slender (usually indicates a male) but can't see the actual sting in the pics. Also the swollen stinger scorpion (Anuroctonus pococki) is heftier-looking with shorter tail and legs. This one looks like an athlete in comparison! I'm not sure what species it is, could be Californian Common Scorpion (Paruroctonus silvestrii)
