How much does yours eat say in a week? Mine eat about one or two crickets or roaches a week. Just want to compare the feeding habits of the two species.

Haha, cheers Will. If I had the space I would set up all my enclosures as naturalistic as possible. I have a few natural set ups next to my bed. Something nice to look at when your chillin out in bed lol.

Shadow, both of my Opistophthalmus sp. eat very little. Maybe a couple of crickets a month.

That is one beautiful scorp. I like the darker colour more than the yellow actually.

They're certainly a nice looking scorpion but I do love the colouration of your O. karooensis.

It's the chelae I love on these guys. Very different to other Opistophthalmus.

Also love the chelae, looks more like a parabuthus claw. When you getting your female? Mine has already bred, just waiting now.

Nope, I dont. When I moved into the more venomous scorps I let these guys go.

I heard these guys where illegal but when I checked the list of illegal scorpions this specific species doesn't come under the list while the rest do. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

True true. My Parabuthus are way more enjoyable than these guys anyway.
