Centruroides margaritatus pic...
upps not nice :? Its the male adult? Or why so much different size? Its the risk not allways to high when the male have the half size as the female?

Its not possible help the male when the female comes agressiv, or she sting very quickly? Its interesting for me, because i have not a adult couple for married.

Hi
I'm not sure if the size of the male is that important for avoiding sexual cannibalism, speed is probably more helpful. Normally sexual cannibalism doesn’t occur but I had not fed the female in some time so I expect she was hungry, normally you can intervene if the male and female get aggressive but I wasn’t concentrating on them so she managed to kill him before I could stop her.

Hi Oliver,
Do you keep them more dry or humid ?

 

[Nikos]

I keep them humid with very limited (actualy close to zero) air circulation

 

[Ythier]

Thanks Nikos

Hi
I keep them moderately humid, and I let them dry out sometimes. I also keep them quite hot about 31C and feed them lots, they never stop eating.

Hi,

male and female Mesobuthus eupeus form the Georgian Republic.

Regards

Hi
very nice scorpions

are these more or less potent than the Mesobuthus gibbosus??

 

[Nazgul]

Hi,

I have no idea, but they are probabely having a more potent venom than M. gibbosus.

1.) Liocheles australasiae, Borneo

2.) Uroplectes planimanus, South-Africa

 

[fusion121]

Great pictures Alex, the LD50 data indicates that Mesobuthus eupeus is probably more toxic

How do you sex Uroplectes planimanus?, I have some but I can't spot any sexual differences.

Hi Oliver,

the females are having an enlarged, sickle-shaped first pectinal tooth. Furtheron the males are smaller and are having slightly more bulbous chelae. I´ll try to take some pics as soon as I´ve got the time.

Androctonus crassicauda male, Oman

That was like 10mins after it moulted, I think the pink is from the camera flash
