The maternal care of a mother scorpion:

This is not a stupid bug fight video, this is a genuine wild Parabuthus raudus preying upon a wild Opistophthalmus wahlbergii shot on camera. A rarely documented sight.

Feeding a 2nd instar Parabuthus transvaalicus.
Literally just walks in and picks the worm like a boss.

impressive how it killed a larger prey and carried it like a luggage.

I agree, very impressive, Opistophthalmus has a powerful set of claws. With its dinner interrupted it decided to throw the meal over it's back and go.

I'm new on here so I am not sure if this video has been in here before...

I would mute the video as the commentary in the background is absolutely ghodawful!!!

But I have never seen anything like this before - a live, healthy adult mouse being fed to Emperor scorpions... I know that people sometimes feed big scorpions like these pinkies and/or pre-killed mice but this - I was quite shocked as a matter of fact!!! Not sure what that green marking is on the back of the scorpion... looks like they painted a mark on its back for some reason

Now let's see if I can get the video to embed...

My mahooosive H.Spiniffer if she’s been nice for a month and hasn’t tried to kill me gets a thawed out pinkie or baby rat but none of my scorps would ever take down a live mouse like that. They’re terrified of tiny cockroaches

I admit that video I put up is absolutely horrible in every way... I found it on youtube and this particular one stood out due to the fact the scorpion actually managed to latch on to the mouse like that. I didn't even know they were capable of taking down a healthy, adult mouse! It seems these large species of scorpion are able to do so (being opportunistic hunters - sit and wait for prey to come along. I guess the mouse fit that criteria). Some scorpions seem braver than others... or maybe this one was just hungry

The commentary on this video is beyond bad... these people don't deserve pets of any kind

Indeed if your going to even do that anyway (which I’m sure the majority think isn’t the best thing to do) have a bit of respect for what you are doing.

This is a great video. Thank you for putting it on. I was just wondering what you do with the babies. Thanks again.

Is it red in color ?

Is it red in color ?

It has a nice orange-yellow gradient. Molted about 2 weeks ago.

I hope the orange stays as it grows!
