Scorpio Maurus Palmatus (not U.Granulatus!!!!!) oopsies!

one of my new baby's

Pretty! I really want one of these!

Those are awesome.

cool little scorp nice to meet you =o)

Looks alot like scorpio maurus.. but cool sp never heard of it

Either you got pics mixed up or you have a misIDed scorp. That is definitely an S. maurus. I just googled Urophonius granulatus and came up with completely different pictures.

One result is from a British site

I knew something was fishy about the ID!

I'm dying to get an S. maurus!! They're too cool

i beg your pardon it was late last night when i put this little girly on... it is a scorpio maurus palmatus... not the U.Granulatus... I do apologise!!!

cool little scorp you got there.

I was recovering after a long weekend!!! I only drink once every 2 months and i've had two days on the trot on the booze!

but as soon as it arrives the U.granulatus will be photographed and on here... anyone else wanting one go to www.thespidershop.co.uk Lee has a handful left and this is the first time he has ever managed to get more than one specimen, they're £9.99 + £6.99 postage (postage regardless of how many you buy, you could buy 100 specimens for same postage) and he accepts BTS discount if you have membership.

Defo recommend him he gets some wonderful specimens in stock. And you can messenger him and have a general chit chat he's really friendly!

Nice specimen reguardless

lol we have another chick from england lol is there any females on this form usa lol

Glad you didn't get a misIDed scorpion! Can't wait to see pics of the real U. granulatus!

i dont think there are any females from usa not ones iv seen post anyway i know there are definetly 4 girls from england so far that is because we have the cool women.
beautiful scorp, theres only one scorp im dying to get, i think connie is too, and im sure alotta ppl on here would want them if either of us got some and bred them,
and thats euscorpius flavidus

well the more that are captive bred the less that are taken from the wild

exactly which is always better, but you gotta admit it is slightly annoying if you cant get hold of something, but still atleast there not gonna dissapear from the wild

yeah oh and BTW.. about getting ya DWA, my hubby was told by a friend on BTS that the DWA is changing in 2009. it will be renewable every 2 years not every year and they're phasing out the vet element so it will be cheaper too. so if you can afford to hang on it will be cheaper for ya

oh excellent that will be much better cuz i tell you it aint cheap lmao, do you have a licence?
i cant wait to sort mine out because then i can get some beautiful scorps and reptiles such as a gaboon viper, oh and i gotta get a c.vitattus

dont have license yet but its a working progress. got application form. Were gunna spend next two years designing it all and make sure we have covered all aspects of keeping them for inspection.

sounds like a plan, hopefully it all works out properly

nice scorpio you got there!looks really healthy

yeah they're all sub adults. i have 2F and 1M... hopefully will have some little youngsters in a couple of years
