Possible gravid?

not sure if these few ladies is gravid...what say u?

Nebo hierichonticus


L.waigiensis


H.hottentotta


S.maurus

The Nebo and the Hottentotta look pretty likely to be gravid.
If you're sure the Liocheles and S. maurus are adults, they could be too.

the Liocheles i am sure it is adult as it was mated previously....as for the Maurus, not too sure..look alittle like pre-molt to me...

Probably gravid then.

If Nebo hierichonticus is an adult, i would say possibly gravid.

Liocheles waigiensis: possibly gravid

Hottentota hottentotta: possibly initial stage of gestation, am not sure.. i have some pics on a gravid specimen for your reference. They are nearing popping date when the pics are taken.

As for Scorpio maurus palmatus, I'm guessing she's still a sub-adult, i might be wrong though..

How big are each of the above specimens? Body length alone (prosoma+mesosoma) excluding tail length.

Btw, great pics and thanks for sharing them

for the S.Maurus, excluding the tail length, it will be around 3-3.5cm...
