thx, for sexing them...i know they are fat but that is not my mistake beacouse they are not mine...i am planing to buy them and the guy send me this photos and told me that they are bouth males.....but i doubted so i decided to ask you guys.
The guy alsaw said that they are adults...what do you think? If they are i hope that the female is gravid...

i dont know about the female being gravid because she is the same size as the male...
also not sure about them being adults because they both have creamy colored telsons which means sub-adult in emperor scorpions but im not sure if thats the same in H. longimanus.
they look the same age which could just be coincidence or they could be brother and sister so...no babies.
...
but dont trust everything i say, wait for some more replys.

what do you mean brother and sister ..no babies...if they are close related they cant produce babies???

dont think so...but maybee incest doesn't exist in scorpions..i dont no.

They can interbreed, but not too much or there could be some problems.

xxxx

how much is too much???

i suppose a deformity with 4 claws and no tail wouldn't be too bad

i think incest among insects and arahnids isnt so bad ...crickets, roaches, mealworms and other food animals do it all the time.

Well with Mantis its known to work untill they reach around 3-4 gen then nothing happens.. so dont know about scorpions if its the same thing, but i whould belive its the same thing.. i doubt you will see mutations

If you got them from a pet store, odds are both are WC so it's totally up in the air whether or not they're related. If they are, there's no worries, just do a bloodline exchange with some other hobbyists every few generations.

As for age I'm not quite positive that they're both adults. Their telsons are a lot lighter-colored than my adult female's.

Also, don't worry about them being "fat." If a scorpion eats too much it simply stops eating.

im still confused....if mah h.longi is male or female...

Kevin, you should start new threads rather than going back to old ones that are more than a few months old.


Try posting your question on a new thread and i'm sure that it'll be answered very quickly

Or instead of saying "I'm confused," you could post a picture.

ok tnx....
