My Whip Scorpion (Thelyphonida) any other have?

Just seeing how many other people like these very interesting scorpion look alike guys as much as me and discuss them post pics of others. mine is locally caught and tolerant of people but extremely agressive and determined hunter chasing crickets hellbent until it catches one through its burrow under wood over wood very fun to watch. most active hunter i have even more so than my Parabuthus Lisoma

Here some pics of mine

Hidding in its burrow

Burrow entrance

Ill get more piccs later when he leaves his burrow

Those things are crazy.

omg i dont like these things lol...awesome pics though thanx for sharing ...boxing gloves and bum ariel....

I think these guys get a bad rep, they are really cool and extermly agressive hunters they also cant really hurt you in any way

I think I night get one just coz they freak me out lol..... I can learn to love

great animals these guys are
so docile, it's surprising

i prefer Ambypligi but mine died recently

I'm probably mistaken but i thought these one were Vinegaroons and the other type are whip scorpions.

Either ways sweet pics and cool critter.

Sorry for your loss. I find them more active than any of my other inverts.

Vinegaroons and Whip Scorpions are common names for uropygi. Tailless Whip Scorpions and Whip Spiders are common names for Ambypligi.


@ beene38 -- Nice M. giganteus by the way. I will probably get one of those next.

Ah ok, cheers for clarification. I should know better by now to just stick to scientific names.

cheers fella
she was at least 3-4 years old, so she's had a not so bad life
they are very active

You should get one BEX they are very cool and more active than most scorps, really cool to watch hunt its prey too, i caught mine in my backyard they are very common here in this part of US. Ive seen some sites try to sell them for $50! If thats the going rate i got couple hundred dollars just crawling around my backyard

couple more pics

digging upside down its really funny cuz it will scopp a bunch of dirt into its padipalps then back up to otherside of cage and deposite into a pile

Bex I also think you should get one. As stated before they are much more active than scorps. They are also good if you want to handle your pets, they are very docile. From what I'm told, they also eat alot more than scorps do.

Nice pics by the way. I like the one when it's upside down.

yeah i like the difference between the way true scorpions and this guy dig, scorpions tend to dig more like dogs kicking the dirt out underneath and behind them while these guys dig like little miners carrying what they can and depositing it into little piles
