Hello dear scorpionkeepers. I am very sorry about my English. what is today a hobby species and subspecies of Androctonus SPP? would like to see the most complete, current as of today the list, not just those who can buy and in general all species and subspecies. just wanted to try to collect as much as possible. and if possible would be very interested to see photos of each scorpion from this list (I think this would also be useful to others who are interested in this genus). particularly interesting subspecies of Androctonus bicolor and Androctonus australis.
also I have adult Androctonus bicolor and Androctonus australis (teenagers). all wild. I attach photos. What is subspecies?

bicolor



australis



many many thanks

Androctonus amoreuxi: http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/a_amoreuxi4.jpg
Androctonus australis(hector): http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/a_australis_hector2.jpg
Androctonus crassicauda: http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/a_crassicauda(m).jpg
Androctonus mauritanicus: http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/a_mauritanicus5.jpg

These are the ones available in the hobby as far as I'm aware of. I hope I answered your questions as I just woke up a bit ago and I was having a hard time to exactly understand what you were asking.

Both of your scorpions are the regular morph. I know hector morph and I know there is another one but I don't recall the name of it. I'll let somebody else get more into that with you because I'm not too familiar with the Androctonus morphs. Sorry.

ooh. there are professionals who really know morphs of Androctonus species. I just want to know exactly what morphs have bicolor and australis. I have found these:
Androctonus australis tunisia
Androctonus australis "hector morph"
Androctonus australis "libycus morph"

Androctonus bicolor
Androctonus bicolor "aeneas morph"
Androctonus bicolor "longecarinatus"

but I'm not sure I'm right.

and so I want to hear the opinion of real professional

It's not the opinion of a real professional. It's opinions of other hobbyists that have been in this hobby for some time now. Some of us focus on desert, some of us focus on bark. Also I was only listing what I've seen available. Some of the Androctonus species aren't available. Then some of the morphs aren't available, or are very rarely available. I've seen the hector & libycus morph of the australis for sale. I've never seen any other Androctonus morphs for sale.

Hi,

no sorry I do not keep Androctonus...Btw, a picture does not give you lots of info as the differences are minimal and that's why these are not subspecies anymore ;)

Well, since there are no subspecies anymore, there is also no A.a. australis, but only A.australis....
