[G. Carnell]

;o

mine moult from up to down, (ie from up to down on a slope: \ )
but they dont have a grip on the "roof" so i cant really comment

 

[FortCooper1982]

Man this locust put up one hell of a fight just wouldn't stop moving! But was no match for Spadix :clap: Took three stings altogether!!

 

[parabuthus]

Cool pics. Where did you get your spadix from, if you don't mind me asking? I am interested in adding one to my collection some time soon (I am also UK based).

 

[Arlius]

Whats the dark stain on your spadix's face?

Tityus trinitatis, adult male:

 

[Raan_Jodus]

One of my male C. Margaritatus's, cleaning himself apparently. One of the few times I see them out in the open, so I snapped some shots. Not great shots, but shots nonetheless. This ones gimpy...at least thats his nickname. I think they are C.M Morenoi (sp?), due to some pictures I saw in a link posted by RedHourGlass of the Scorpions of Cuba.

Edit: aw what the hell, everyone is being real photogenic tonight. I gotta lots for you people tonight. Some more of Gimpy, some of my Spadix, my juvie C. Gracilis (leaning towards female), and some UV shots of my Spadix, C. Vittatus, and my other male C. Margaritatus. Beautiful creatures indeed. So beautiful that they've kept me up more than an hour longer than I wanted to be so enjoy.

Nice scorps Isaac, and Fusion that T. trinitatus is stunning. the extruded setae on the chela is interesting I wonder if this makes him more acutely sensitive?

 

[Murziukas]

hopefuly gravid?

 

[parabuthus]

Murziukas, I would guess that the female is gravid, yeah. I'd keep an eye on that. If it was me, I'd remove the male from the set-up before she begins to give birth. Goodluck with that!

And yeah, it looks like a little mycosis on that H. spadix's carapace. If not, quit painting your scorps . Seriously though, remember to keep this species set-up as dry as possible to slow down the spread of the infection. Provide a water dish though, as I've heard they require more water than arizonensis.

 

[Raan_Jodus]

wooo more C. Margaritatus pics Hes such a camera whore this week. Found him up on the ceiling of his exoterra tank.

 

[tarsier]

Here are the last (or just the latest) that I have acquired. Not an expert but I think they are liocheles sp. (australasiae?) WC from Negros Occidental, Philippines.

 

[G. Carnell]

Nice
i love Liocheles

[tarsier]

thanks, george.

i know you appreciate these as well. have no idea what particular heterometrus they are exactly.

i have no idea what this one is.

this one, to my untrained eye, appears to be a spinifer.
