im working on a rough id through general body shape right now!
can you give me a Locality?

EDIT:
hmm no idea ;(
could be H.petersii (philippene version)
H.longimanus (!!? unlikely)
H.cyaneus (i need to look into the subspecies in Phillippenes!)

believe it or not, the shop that sold this to me said they were from thailand. so i thought she may be a longimanus.

But after reading Kovarik's article and taking into consideration that (for all I know) they may be from some other place, im not so sure.

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.

NICE scorpion !:worship:

 

[tarsier]

thanks. wish there was more variety in terms of the scorpions available here though

Hi
might be an H.cirmani (spelling..)
seems possible...

whatever it is, its unusual ;p
try to get some more and breed them

My Scorps

tarsier, Those are nice pictures of your scorps. I have the same kind of Heterometrus. I believe we bought them at the same store. I am very new with scorpion keepng, but base on my research it appears to be H. Spinifer because of the greenish tinge, size and temperament. Unlike my 4 month old H. Longimanus which is entirely black. But then again, I'm not too sure. :? Sorry about the pictures, I only took them using my phone.

Are those scorps on sawdust? Thats a big no no, too dry and dusty for them.

 

[makati]

alakdan, nice scorps. scorpdude is right though, sawdust is bad for them, the one with the moss is right though.

You're right ScorpDude! I realized that mistake after reading a lot of advice from fellow keepers in this site. I have since changed to potting soil made from coco peat 2 inch deep and moss for moisture retention. I think they're more comfortable now. I spent the whole night watching one scorp dig a burrow. It was very methodical. I'll post a picture of my set-up in the enclosure thread soon.

hi, i'm new here but i've been reading this forum for quite some time. i've learned a lot about scorpions and i'm glad to become a member here.
here's my 2 hadrurus arizonensis, Vassago and Belial. i dont know their sex yet... :?
VASSAGO:

BELIAL eating a cricket:

makati, where did you get your scorps? Do you know if hadrurus arizonensis, Vassago and Belial are available in the Phils.? Nice pictures.

 

[makati]

alakdan:
i'm not sure but tarsier said that some dealers get them occasionally. might want to check your place if they get them. fun scorp to watch.
good to see your scorps started mining!

 

[Juliancito]

Whats the dark stain on your spadix's face?

It might be from the loctus,i've seen that some of them segregate this substance from the mouth area, what i don't know is if theres some kind of self defence against predators...:?

 

[Scorpfanatic]

tried the "yellow scorp on black substrate for photo taking" method wahahaha it works!

my fat M tamulus! 3 days after it ate two adult crickets at one go (2/3 of its size)
