great lookin H.A :clap:
Thanks man. It is a GREAT looking scorp... it has also dug out an extensive burrow and is eating everyday up to this point. And it uses that sting EVERYTIME. Infact, I saw him drag the hopper down into his burrow today and he had a real go at it with his pincers, however, he then started digging so as to make the burrow chamber deeper and then proceeded to use his sting. Very cool.

It's getting a LITTLE porky though, with a tub of hoppers effectively in under a week, so I will lay off the feeders for a few days and make him ravenous again!!! {D

Also, I'll need to properly sex the specimen, I am guessing male at this point, but I could be wrong, with this being my first H.A.

I need references to look at in terms of pectines, caudas, chela and general behaviour.

Really good job, Nikos. Congratz for the birth. How much/many ( sorry I always forget which word I have to use in this situation) scorpionlings do you have?
Nice pics, but I know that you know do it better ;) .

AAAAAhhhh Nikos, maybe finally now you'll be able to raise some males!!! Apparently there are no males to be found anywhere in the hobby... :?

Here is my Desert Hairy. Sorry I have nothing impressive. It glows in blacklight better than most I've seen.
