Androctonus australis

 

[alex]

Thanks.
I really like it. It's very small, about 4cm.

Maybe I'll buy some other Androctonus

Hi,

should be a female, by the way. I counted 25 pectinal teeth.

awesome
i'm still dream of having any of the Tityus spp.

 

[Brian S]

I have this one now IDed to the Serradigitus genus. Still don't know the exact species though

 

[TheNothing]

NICE!
Serradigitus spp. are very hard to identify...

 

[redhourglass]

Hi.

Species level ID without locality data, literature, stereo micorscope, and types for comparison there won't be an exact solution to what is what respectively. Provided is an attachment of my home ID lab

All the best with the Serradigitus.

Cheers!

Hi
No, though I would love to go scorpion hunting in Isreal, someone caught it for me and sent it to the UK, there was another one that might have been female, but unfortunately it died on the way over .

C. exilicauda








got 17 of these guys in yesterday and setup them up in a 20g tank. they were packaged between two different containers... one even molted in transit!!!! was astonished by that fact...

 

[G. Carnell]

very beautiful scorps!
17!! jesus christ you arnt joking

 

[prang11]

Midtransit molt sounds impressive. Very lucky you have 17 not 16.

Andrew:
yeah
i saw bits and pieces of the molt on the botton of the container and had assumed it was a goner with so many others in there with it, but the headcount proved it survived.

George:
no reason to joke around when you've got the space for a communal species

 

[redhourglass]

Greetings.

I have attached the following. Last years pictures but not in this thread so for those collecting in the field from CA to TX look out for the young ones this year

 

[TheNothing]

WOW
chad
impressive
especially that V puritanus brood
i'm speechless...

 

[redhourglass]

Thanks Isaac.

The mother (V.puritanus) is still alive but lost all the brood when I moved cities late last fall. Subterranean termites worked great for post molt instars. For those that have seen a feeding freenzy in general the experience is awesome ! :}

Cheers.
