Identical to P.trans.
Yes, just like orange cotten candy! Lolz

Does this look Gravid to anyone or possible premolt ?
I was told it's an adult and is Gravid but not really sure it seems small, I don't have much experience with P. liosoma.

I don't see embryos... and I don't see it's heart line definitively like usual gravids. If I had to put my money on one or the other it would be on premolt to adulthood.

So it's fine to house an adult male and female P.trans together in a 10gal tank right? Just making sure before I throw em in together.

Nice. 10gallon is good size to an adult couple. With ample food and hiding place, i don't see a reason why not
I think you'll be fast to notice signs of prego as well (to remove male). Keep us update Chrome!

damn so many babies

how many are they?

drool... so many pitbulls! I have a female and 5 scorplings i3.. which I hope 3 of them are female :-p

I want to have a Buthus kindergarten tbh, just like yours lol

Nice vid

Time to guess the babies! Lolz

I say 93! lol Ok thats a free 10 pieces for me haha

lolz.. i can see why you are asking for more... like myself.. You can never get enough of P.trans. They are just too awesome

woahhhh its good your not get tag when you make the caves with you hand.

I mean the telson would pass your finger x.x

Just one flick on your wrist and your ahhhhhhhhhhh


Hands down bro GS!

This female P.liosoma is definitely more "friendly" as compared to my female death stalker..
Anyways.. there is always risks in handling.. you never know what's on their mind.. really..

I know you have the hidden longing to feel what it would be to be stung. I know I have, I just dont have the balls to do it lol

+1 to pluto

I do too but I wont! hahaha


And btw, you also handle LQ's bro GS O_O

Yeah, kinda did most of them on the same "rehousing day"..

Btw, how's your P.trans doing? You've got a sexed pair?

My ptrans' are all ok, but still wont budge to molt (


I think I got a female and the other one is still unsexed. I hope its a male so I can breed them.



ahhhhhhhhh my ptrans still wont molt haha

Hope you'll get a pair my friend

Sexual dimorphism of male (enlarged chelas as compared to females) is usually significant from 6th instar onwards.
Or if you can't wait to know, you can do pectine sexing.

Hope your P.trans molt for you soon bro.

Cheers,
GS

Thanks bro GS.


I would do get a shot of their pectines as soon as the DLSR of my bro comes

would post a pic of it

Saw this link over at AB. Thought I'd share

parabuthus.com

most informative! Thanks

I thought so. Always good to have quick reference point for easy access.

It's been a while since I've had some P. transvaalicus and I just picked up these 2 little 2i's so I was curious how you guy's suggest I should care for them.
What temps should I keep them at ?
How often should i mist their enclosures ?
I haven't had these in almost 5 yrs (got tagged, it sucked and swore off'em for a while) and even then they were already adults. I just want to know if there is any special requirements they need. I want to take care of them the best I can so please any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thank you in advance

No special care needed. They are quite hardy!
Keep them in tubs like that, put sand with some claywater in there.. Predig a little hole.. let it dry put them in, and they will dig deeper. Quite a bit in fact, they are more fossoreal than Androctonus.

Water 1/4 of the cup every 7 days or so and not too much. Keep them warm at 27-29 degrees. Should do the trick, and lots of ventilation. I might say that is one of the most important things to get right, ventilation.

Put the entire tub full of holes if you need to, but make sure air can move around in it.
