Scorpion Picture Thread

Nice scorps Isaac
are the Vaejovis skittish at all?

 

[TheNothing]

Surprising not as skittish as I thought they'd be. I'd say of the 4 I have, 1 is very skittish and is quick to run at any disturbance. The rest tend to stay put as I rummage through the leaves to make sure they're all doing well. This lil guy in particular got into a bit of a fight with one of his tank-mates (the aforementioned skittish one) and I feared he took a couple stings. He eagerly climbed onto my hand and perched himself on the tip of my pinkie finger where he stayed for a very long time till I had another keeper setup to set him aside for observation. Four days later he's fine and eating well.

From what I've noticed, they tend to play dead if disturbed and you actually have to poke at them quite a bit till they run. They'll also tend to run instead of posing to strike.

Yes, I've been trying to get mine to stridulate, but they obviously really like me, so won't

Nice pic, do you find yours climb alot? Mine seem to vary between climbing and hiding under things.

 

[ROBTILE]

FortCooper1982: The mom was a barter with a lil' extra in her abdomen But I think you can buy P. imperators in any shop. Try to buy a fat female, and if you are lucky, you will have a few babies too in the next few months
