Ok look at this picture, my mate says it's a juvi male LQ, however I think it looks like an AA.
I went through some of the scorpion files pictures and I cannot find a juvi LQ with red tipped chela and a black telson. And the metasoma profile looks wrong to me!

So pleeeze someone settle this debate lol!

That's the idiot who posted pictures of himself handing an Androctonus australis a few weeks ago both on here and AB. The folks on AB ripped him a new one and I sort of did here. Not only that, he lives in Wales, so it's quite illegal and it's one of those species actually WORTH making illegal, so he's bound to make the hobby look even worse to the Powers that Be when (not if, but when) he gets stung.

Yes that is the guy who posted on the forums a few weeks ago.

I was just having a debate last night with my mate Roy (Young_gun on the other forums) who swore blind it was a juvi male LQ, it was all in good nature and I still am not sure if he was winding me up or looking at that picture through beer goggles!

Anyway I also asked Jan Ove and he said is was most likely AA too.

Furthermore I have a £20 bet on this so between you guys and Jan Ove you have helped me win the bet!

CHEERS!!!!

Yeah it's not even shaped like an LQ if you've ever taken notice of their distinct shape.

He seemed alright on msn when I spoke to him late last night... but he's like that, his spelling is often still perfect even when hammered.

Anyways, the guy in wales this is, that has been reported?

I was tempted to report him 'cause he's gonna destroy the hobby for other folks in the UK. As an admin I have access to his IP address and the email he registered to the forum with contained his real name. Razz Looks like someone beat me to it.

Anyway, if this Mr. Roy is owing you 20 quid, where's our cut for helping you win the bet? awesome

although reprting him might not be great for the hobby either, as i can very easily see one of these going down: "Authorities raided the home of an individual who was keeping deadly scorpions illegally in his home. Lawmakers have vowed to increase pprosecution and crack down hard on people who keep dangerous animals by increasing enforcement and passing new and stricter laws on the keeping of exotic animals"

When you all say A.A., I hope you're referring to Androctonus amoreuxi and not Androctonus australis. The pic is titled "Paul A.A. Handle." I would say that the title would give it away.

Pandinus, I don't think that's much better than

"So-and-so was found dead in his home after being stung by an illegally-kept scorpion. Authorities have vowed to increase pprosecution and crack down hard on people who keep dangerous animals by increasing enforcement and passing new and stricter laws on the keeping of exotic animals to prevent this from happening again."

No i think they are all reffering to the australis in the picture, i'm not sure where the amourexi refference fits in.


@ Mordax,
Didn't say it was better, i said neither is good.

Aye it is a shame these Idiots spoil it for the hobby. Getting a DWA is hard enough without people like that making it worse.

It doesn't look like my A. amoreuxi, either.

That last pic in Ras's post looks an awful lot like most pics of A. australis I've seen.

Still, mind the last 4 metasomal segments...on an A. australis they should be very pronounced, widthwise, whereas they are not so much in A. amoreuxi. The one being held is in pre-molt and the pic isn't close enough to clearly point out the variations.

In the pix I posted, the first A. australis is an adult and the second is clearly a juvenile; the same goes for the A. amoreuxi pix I posted - the scorp being held is obviously a juvenile (you can tell by it's coloration) and if you study both the A. australis and the A. amoreuxi juvenile pix closely you will see the variations between the two species.

With all due respect to everyone and, I'm the last person to be deemed a "pro" at this. This is my juvenile Androctonus australis.
