Disappointing....

Turns out I dont have a female A. bicolor I have a female A. crassicauda...GRRRRR I know its a little difficult to tell but I really wish I was sold the right thing haha. Here are some pictures I guess breeding of my bicolors is going to have to wait until my female bicolor matures to im pretty sure 7i at least I hope she isnt at 5i haha!











Thank you

Aren't Androctonus crassicauda more expensive than A. bicolor? If so, I don't see why you would be mad. You got a great deal. I do get the part aboout not being able to breed though.

Oh really!? I did not know that haha how much do they go for? Ya it's pretty frustrating I was so excited to get a breeding project going and I find this out...haha

I'm not sure but it seems like they are harder to find than A. bicolors.

Agreed with shredder. Anyway I have many A.bicolor ready to breed.

Ya that's true they definitely aren't as available in the pet trade. Ill have to check out price if y'all find anything let me know as far as price goes. I'm thinking ill just wait until my female matures haha she is premolt now.

Congrats on having a craus. Don't be to disappointed I'm sure you'll find a mate for both dont' worry.

Thanks! I'm hoping so I guess it ain't a lose

Dang...I want an A.C. so bad. Lucky. If you really want an A.B. i'll trade ya mine. ha!

Dont complain crassicauda is better than bicolor

This line of thinking is really prevalent in the hobby and it makes me wonder why you all feel this way? Is it rarity? Novelty? Do they fly?

Well it ruined my breeding project haha crassicaudas just aren't as cool of scorpions to me than bicolors definitely a lose to me. Anyway still lookin for a bicolor female if anyone lives in AZ and wants to trade or something?

 Studies have shown that Androctonus crassicauda does not fly.

Haha. Apparenty they do occasionaly go into stages of "killing madness", though, haha.

I think certain collectors want to see an appreciation for certain exotics. That is completely normal. The man wanted an A. bicolor for genetic purposes. I'd be happy and pissed off at the same time if I invested in something that happened to be gold, but I could not manipulate it for what I needed. I get it. can you imagine if A.B could fly? cash money right there.
