Just got in some new H. spinigerus!

Holy cow do these guys got personality. I had, of course, read up on them, but getting them is a hole new experience. I absolutely love their attitude and how they walk around like they have the venom of an LQ lol
I am very glad I got suggested to get these guys. They are very active and very entertaining. I look forward to having a good time with them.

Also I got to sex them today. It looks like I got one male, one female :::

nice man. I have these guys out here in AZ. I've been on the hunt for them. Post pictures when you can i would love to see them

Really? I got mine imported from AZ. I actually will get some photos up when my phone isn't dead.
Definitely recommend as a new little friend

Hoffmannius spinigerus also know as the stripped tailed scorpion or devil scorpion http://www.ntnu.no/ub/scorpion-files/v_spinigerus.php so far the only scorpions i can find are bark scorpions

Desert species tend to be stingy. Their way of saying, don't mess with us just because we're small

Hmm, maybe I can get you in contact with my seller? They are from AZ so I don't imagine it would be too difficult. PM me and we'll discuss further details.

Omg, I love it. Their attitudes are what make them so appealing to me. The act so big and tough, yet only have the venom of a wasp sting.
I have YET to get tagged by one, but even if/when the day comes, I don't think I could happen but to still be just as enamored.

Just make sure you're not allergic to the sting though

Luckily my father has blessed me with "indian magicks" and I seem to be pretty hardy to most venom/animals. It just happens to be my mother with the allergy >D
Regardless they are cuties and I'm going to put some pictures up!

Problem with picture maybe? I'm not seeing it on my end. I sent you a pm about contacting your seller.

Huh, maybe it's the formatting. Let me try again





And I shall reply to your PM

There we go. I'm guessing the top one in the bottom picture is a male?

Yeah, they were quite compliant to be sexed, oddly enough. I expected some pinches or tags haha

What type of set up do you have for these guys?

I have them in a large kritter keeper, filled with lots of ecoearth, and a mix of flat stones and bark.
Oh and of course the basic; emergency URGENT, thermometer/hydrogemeter, and shallow water dish.

Not URGENT UTH in case of wacky temps. I do live in MI, after all :p

yeah i lived in Wisconsin before i moved to Arizona its been a bad winter up there keep your scorpions warm. We we're having propane shortages in Wisconsin. They say winters are gonna be like that now do to the jet stream shifting lower.

I have a 6i female that i sold out a few weeks ago, i just kept it in a medium-sized deli cup with holes on top and a cocofiber/sand mix. Pretty easy scorps

I'm not sure what i mine are at, but methinks subadults. We'll see with molting time.
And I wanted to give my little dudes a mansion for their size

My photos are being odd, but I got more pictures of these beauts on my instagram
