strange, I just open the tank of mine and they stridulate.

 

[Cirith Ungol]

My little saucages...

 

[Tityus]

Yes and mine Rhopalurus stridulate also

 

[G. Carnell]

Hi Oliver
the stridulation is only audible really after 2 moults, then its bloody loud!!
its different to pandinus/heterometrus stridulation, and you can ACTUALLY see the pectines vibrating (i have a male )

its more of a ssssssSSSSSsssssSSSS

compared to pandinus and heterometrus being TSSSS-sss-TSSS

its one way to put it

so Micheal, instar 5 means you recieved it at instar 3 yes??
and it has moulted twice?

just asking cos mine has moulted twice, and i dont know what instar i got it at

 

[Ythier]

wow George, you stridulate very well

H.trilineatus and A.mauritanicus couples.
Cheers,
Eric

i have MANY gravid C.e's in a community of 16
i've not yet made any plans to separate them this time around
just going to let them live as they are

i doubt, at this point, that there'd be any problems

 

[ThatGuy]

im prolly gonna do the same thing and see how things play out.

 

[TheNothing]

A very confused pair of C. exilicaudas
they were locked up like this for 36-48 hours
the male on the right molted last week


and
Vaejovis carolinianus and her litter
sorry the quality is very poor, but couldn't get any better without pulling out the tank which i didn't have time to do

 

[Nikos]

heterometrus swammerdami titanicus

Some photos of a relatively freshly molted h.swammerdami.
I was under the impression that it was female but now I think that it might be a male due to the long last segment of the metasoma...
What do you guys think?
