regds

any one ???

My guess would be Isometrus sp. But i cant id it closer

looks like those kind you would find in lower pierce. think its an Arizona bark scorpion though

How do you explain Arizona bark scorpion in Singapore?
and allso the "Arizone Bark scorpion "
http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/c_exilicauda.php

doesnt look anything like that..

Might wanna check out photos of the sp i put up there..

its like people bringing in scorpions and then letting them go when they dont want them. but i have searched and google give me images like that too.


Arizona bark scorp

oh i think i found out what scorpion it is. think its a lychas mucronatus.. or a chinese swimming scorpion. never heard or it before though. but it look identical to what you have there.

Lychas mucronatus may look similar but definitely not like this
If u observe, they have dark triangle tone on the carapace, patella and the 5th metasoma which is lack of in the picture he posted

yeah true.. interesting though. so could it be the same subspecies? or could it just be the scorpion itself?? may i ask where in singapore did you find this though. it looks like an interesting specimen. i have 2 H.Spinifer adults and 13 2instar scorplings. what other scorpions do you keep as i do know that it is illegal to keep them in singapore.

Evilpigz why do you keep beliving its a totaly differnt scorpion?

I say its pretty clear that its Isometrus sp. you might wanna google some pictures and taking a closer look on the scorpions before saying anything.. And since scorpions is exported from Asia and i belive they allso got scorpion farms in Singapore i highly belive that its legal to keep them.

even i would say isometrus....
i just dont know what else it is...
all google is showing is isometrus maculatus, and they look similar but the markings are all wrong to me

its illegal in singapore to keep scorpions :/ ig you get caught you'll get fined and stuff... many things are illegal in singapore. they do not allow you to catch and keep wild animals. it kinda sucks...

you are if you have all the proper permits, you can have CITES animals, even import/export animals with the proper permits...

so your only half right evilpigz


dont believe...
heres a little literature with a lot of knowledge

woah cool. but i think the permits are kinda expensive right?? sorry :/ i'm only 15 but i'm really into these kind of things

depends which permit for what animal you want i imagine
