I ran into the mite problem and lost a scorp in a freezing winter night when my heating devices failed. Desert types just seem hardier, not too mention are cooler looking. Just my own opinion however. Now that I have bonded with the "infamous" leiosoma breed I will always have one around.

A.mauritanicus has been the holy grail of Buthidae for me. Never ever see them on sale except twice and both times I did not have the money to afford them. C.gracilis is the only species you are caring for? What about those live A.crassicauda I seen earlier in the thread?

Right, I have bonded with Latrodectus, Loxosceles, and the Arizona Bark Scorpion, love all of them! C.exilicauda/sculpteratus are awesome fiery little devils! Love their captive behavior, those that have kept alot various species can see the common theme in my love of Arizona Bark Scorpions, L.quinquestriatus, and Hadrurus scorpions.

Sorry to hear that it died. Speaking of winter, that's another reason I'm getting away from humid species. Whenever someone opens a door in the winter, and it's -30F or lower, my tank will fog up like a pervert's glasses.

I wish they were still alive, but alas, they are no more. Some of them have their legs in a life-like pose. I really miss them.

Aaah, that's too bad. Beautiful colorations, not dull like many I've seen. Well, luckily there will always be opportunities to purchase more.

Where?, who's got any these days?, I haven't seen them offered since the late eighties.

 

[Stormcrow]

Do you live in the States?

 

[Fausta]

Stan,
I'll look around for one for you. I will bring you a scorpion from Egypt this November-December. The idiot who got me stung gets all kinds of crazy types.
Where are you moving too?

[carpe scorpio]

Wow!, thanks Kelly, I would appreciate that beyond words. I still live in Alaska, I just changed it to confuse the newer people.

I have seen the nearly black LQs there before, but just large examples. I have called ahead and am hoping the villagers can get me some juveniles. Perhaps that are not LQs, but they sure look like them and the villagers tell me they have been responsible for killing a few of their goats and sheep over the years.
I am going out of town tomorrow morning to get my specimen in Atlanta and will be back around Tuesday night. Might check in from a coffee house if I get the chance.

I wonder if they could be an introduced population of L. jordanensis?. Good luck in Atlanta.

Hi,
here´s one of my male P. leiosoma. By the way, L. jordanensis has been described by a female specimen collected in the south of Jordan. I don´t think this species occurs in Egypt. Here´s a link to an article by Amr, one of the guys who described this species: http://www.skorpione.de/htm/gastautoren/z_amr/z_amr.htm. There´s a little part about L. jordanensis and the article is in english.
Greetings
Alex

I love it, couldn't have picked a better model. The great Androctonus bicolor.

Hello, Carpe Scorpio. On page 5 i saw some pictures of your preserved scorpions. What species are they? Some of them look to me like Centuroides and A. Amoreuxi and L. quinquestriatus. Am i right or wrong

 

[carpe scorpio]

Errit, the Androctonus are A.crassicauda and A. bicolor. The Centruroides are C. gracilis, C. exilicauda, and C. vittatus. And those other shots are L. quinquestriatus.
