[Discussion] Parabuthus spp.

Cool bro! Anyway its not hard since these guys always seem to surprise you when you least expect it. Got another one moulting to i6 now. I got them as fresh i3 on 30th of june, it is now the 2nd of october and into i6. This seems to me as a myth busted that these guys grow slow. I have read occasional reports from people that keep these that say they are slow growers.

In fact, they're pretty FAST growers. Keep them hot and stuff them with 4 or 5 adult crickets (from instar4) and you're golden.

A regular vid on Parabuthus liosoma - "Deadly Strike"

Cool vid bro. And great looking Parabuthus you've got there!

Thanks bud
Imo, P.liosoma's appeal is in the contrasting colors between the body.. legs and of cos.. the "black" tipped telson. Not so much of thick tail sadly. haha

You're absolutely right. Gladly, we have other spp. to enjoy the tail fatness

That is very true.. lolz

Very nice GS.
Will keep an eye on my 2i villosus to see if this can be applied to them aswell.

By the way, is it 1 day before molting to 2. instar.. or 3. instar?

Updated the picture's text. Thank you my friend

There are so much more to learn about these Gorgeous specimens and this is my sharing for fellow hobbist

What a great page GS! Thank you

Thanks babe! Glad you enjoyed it.. hoho

Excellent info. Thanks again DolbyR for guiding be back to it!

GS, sorry but, in your website, the pic of the male grasping the female's chela, you wrote, "right chela = female , left chela = male". The pic shows that the right chela was the bulbous one and the left was the slender one. Is there a mistake? Because by looking at ur other pics on the same page, for example the very first pic, the male P Trans u marked 1.0 which is a male, had bulbous chela, and another photo of the male P Trans molting from 6i>7i, had too, bulbous chela. I dont mean any offence, but i would just like to inform u incase there is a mistake. Or i could be wrong.

There is no need to apologise. Typos and errors should be corrected.
Yes, it is a wrong placement of words. Thanks for the heads-up.

Btw do you have problems reading pm? The question i'm asking is not related to any threads.
Please reply via pm.

Gd luck bro
Maybe yours will give a brood soon.. the massive "pile-on" for P.trans females always amaze me!

Btw which instar is your gravid female and when was she mated?
