I was under the impression that the paraensis is uniformly black...
I guess they must be getting all black as they get older, right?
Nice scorps!

Alot of Tityus species seem to have that mottled colouration in young instars, so they should darken as they get older (hopefully)

lovely pics, the junceus are bloody beautiful


dont the trinitatis get red when older?
or was that trivitatus or something?

whats funny about the paraensis, is that you can sex them from 2nd inst!!
there is huge difference in claw length in my babies, can u see this too?

Yeah I think I can make out the difference in claw length, is the colouration the same in your specimens?

2 of my T. trinitatis moulted in the post, obvious a lower temperature triggers their moult, counter intuitive but there you go.

I'm drooling!
Possibly the most attractive scorps I have ever seen. I really can't wait to get up and running again!!!

Nice scorpions Oliver.

Geroge has just received similar ones.

The R. junceus looks beautiful. They can stridulate can't they?

:worship:
