Scorpion Picture Thread

I also think you switched your Pandinus imperator and cavimanus and I think your male Hadogenes is also paucidens not troglodytes.

But nice collection nonetheless :}

Hi,
...and those "B.barbouri" currently found in EU need to be identified better, it is not a valid species. I keep several specimens but I didn't have time to look them well, so if someone could do it
Cheers,
Eric

Tityus serrulatus

yeah, this one molted just 33 days ago
but she decided it was time again
she's adult now, this is my eldest that I got from Oliver

whole process took over 2 hours (1 hour and 15 minutes passed in the pics above - last two taken at same time)

This is a very angry Hadrurus arizonensis female in the most formidable defensive posture she can muster, no less with venom dripping from her aculeus...

Centruroides cf. nigrimanus

 

[woodson]

a question here.
I think Tityus spp. looks like Centruroides spp. very much.
Are they two similar?
where does Tityus spp. live often?

They are both New World Buthids, but thats about how closely they are related. Tityus species are found in South America mostly.

The 2 genera are very closely related within the Buthidae family, as far as I know: Tityus, Centruroides, Microtityus, Grosphus, Uroplectes and Microcharmus are all descended from a common ancestor even though they have quite different distributions. From a taxonomic point of view Tityus and Centruroides seem to be very similar, it’s often tough to tell them apart.

Your obviously doing something good since mine never that fast :clap:

 

[TheNothing]

haha, I guess... amazing to think its molted so many times... even my S. mesaensis didn't mature that fast (3rd to 6th in 4 months)... The others I got from Tom are maturing quickly as well, now 4th and 5th instars after recieving them as 2nd...

Now I just need to get my T. bahiensis to mature at the same rate...

better pics of Little Nicky

Finaly got around to getting a better camera & caught the little guy outside of his burrow.

Out for a walk.

And letting me know that moving the rock he's hiding under just to take his picture drives him up the wall.
