Gromgrom's Scorpion pictures

Thanks, I lost one mid moult due to a lack of moisture i believe so until it hits 6i i am not too bothered about a bit of moisture. My hectors are at 4th instar at moment

Will use a stone/clay hide as you suggest for later stages. Thanks for the tip

Jealous of the hectors good luck with them! Itd be nice to get those around in the states too!

And yeah. I tend to water them at subadults once every two weeks. Just a couple drops if that. When approaching a molt, once every week, and if i catch them in.the act or post act, i will give them a little more to help them keep hydrated.

Both are plump ready for their next moult!! Lets see how they get on as I am sure their telsons will really bulk out on this moult

That female villosus oranje is just AMAZING!!!

Thanks ive got two pairs of adults off a friend. Theyre extremely sensitive as evident of all the setae on their metasoma. You get near them and the small breeze will make them take off. Theyre socialable in pairs like transvaalicus and other buthids. Waiting till i get a brood or two before i throw them all together like my transvaalicus are.

I have an adult female standard morph and know what you mean hahaha.

How many transvaalicus do you have in the same tank?  

Typically six. Four males and two females. The males will cohab together. Really awesome sight to see.

wow, need to get something like that! Does it work with Androctonus too?

Ive not tested that yet... i know A. Bicolor will cohab in pairs, maybe even a trio. Multiple males i wouldnt count on, outside of mauritanicus

You think mauritanicus would live ok in a small community?

From things ive read, yes, as adults of course. Ive seen pics of giant communities sharing hides. But take with a grain of salt, as i dont have firsthand experience to say so.

ok will keep that in mind as a tank full of matt-black fat tails could be pretty awesome!!

Cool pics!!! How large is your tank with the 6 transvaalicus scorps?

I keep them in a ten gallon. I should use a 20 Honestly.

Past couple weeks worth of pics of new and old species growing up!
