Another Minion to add to my collection, Impulse buy FTW the Androctonus bicolor

I went to the local pet store today just to see if they still had this tiny scorpion (tanzanian long claw) and low and behold they got a new shipment in of like 10 new scorpions

And this Androctonus bicolor was among them for 35 bucks! They wanted 80 at this other pet store, so I jumped on this ASAP.

They also had a Scorpio Marus (sp)(will pick this up friday!), Black tipped scorpion, C Sculp, a BEAUTIFUL adult emperor (first thing I noticed), Egyptian Pillar Scorpion (cute lol), U Mordax, and some other ones I cant remember off the top of my head.

I am going to be buying a Sphinx decoration from the pet store tomorrow, it has a little hole on the side so it can climb in and hide and it looks cool









EDIT:
The other fat tail was a parabuthus liosoma

wow this scorpion looks beastly xD

Great buy

Great impulse buy Roblicious, I just picked up another bicolor today
also. there a beautiful and awesome addition to any collection.

yeah I was debating between this and the Androctonus blacktipped not sure the exact name.

For sure I am getting that Scorpio Maurus though friday thing looks cool

Simply awesome but i'm biased

You meant the australis hector? Mostly yellow with a dark telson?

think it started with a L I dont remember, but yeah all yellow, black telson

Good job. These are awesome!

Gorgeous specimen there bro!
Great pics as well. I like the 1st and 3rd pic the most. Good angle to display that not fat but extremely MASSIVE tail !!
Congrats to your new additions

thanks, yeah, I have never seen one before didnt realize the tail size would be so big.

Thought the same of that pillar tail and black tipped one too, I am going back friday to get that scorpio maurus though Ill see what they have again :p

congrats on the new addition!

+1 lol

yeah space is a pain, trying to determine the size of enclosure for the scorpio maurus cause I got a 4W4L7H acrylic container, they dont get too big ya?

nah they dont get any bigger than 2.5 inches so quite small, prly do fine in a small tank really, its just they love to burrow for miles lol

yeah the little container i have is the same size as all those ones that house my other little scorpions and they are about 2.5 tops

They are tall containers, so I might just fill it up really high? lol

yeah should be fine i find they like to dig straight vertical burrows in the coeners anyway then they branch off from that
