Telsonless 3I Pandinus Imperator

So that's the Tiny I've been hearing about ! You gotta get some better shots later

wierd.. .. .. its ashame teeny died. do you know how he lost his telson?

they were both born like it.
Poor Teeny!
But Tiny is alive and kicking. will try to feed again tonight but he/she just isnt interested in food. its a shame Teeny died because they could have been a mating pair!

I saw one on mums back before 2I and when we rehomed we found out two had been born without the telson

I do need to get some better pictures but she/he startles easy!
Spends all day and night outside the little wax worm hide and pressed against the heat mat but any movement and ZOOM goes to hide.
Has plenty of substrate but never tries to make a burrow.

thats really strange how it was born without a telson.

hes a cutie

he will be much easier to handle. you dont have to worry about stings!

yea...they might be really big and strong because he will rely on them

I think that's a safe bet for the species as a whole.

well theres this wack job on the youtube, i think ive made a tread about his video and he clips the stinger till its blunt so it cant sting and he says they 'mellow' out when this happens so mabee it will have the same affect as being telsonless

i really really really doubt that has some effect on the behavior of the scorpion..

I think doing that to scorpions just proves what a wuss someone is. owning a scorpion yet taking out the sting.

I would rather Tiny was "normal" but she isnt and there we go. I doubt she will make it to adulthood though because she barely eats. seems to be no will to survive.

I have an adult male who somehow broke off his aculeus after I got him. His name is Julius. He's the one I let people hold to break their fear of scorpions.

I would just like to add I DO NOT FOLLOW THIS CRAZY OLD MAN!!
He does it to his rattle snakes too.

she might still live Connie all we can do is hope for the pest mabee shes just picky:lol:

i think she will pull through for you

as long as she eats i have a couple scorplings out of mmy brood that barley eat i bought som smalle meal worms and waited for there molt and served them that and readily accepted them.
