Desert tank find

Well I'm back home already but friday night I decided to good to good ol palm springs in search of H. arizonensis and maybe camp out in the desert. Well I found a ton of S. mesanensis but only had about 3 delicups in my car (i thought a had bought a whole new pack) so I just took two. And when i came back home saturday night i found this and a few more in my desert tank. Thats tinier than it looks

"Looking for Arizonensis" Pfft, I gotta pay 15 dollars to "find' one.

tell me about it. might have to have a trip down south one of these days to find some scorpions in this country.

Thats less than I wasted on gas to get there.

I'm a little lost...is that an H. arizonensis "pallidus"? What's your desert tank?

lady i think we need to arrange something with the rest of the english members, to actually go down south and find euscorpius flavicaudis, i know me and connie both want to, we should arrange something

I thought I had a picture of the S. mesaninsis on my phone but i guess I didn't . I was gonna make two seperate topics I think i merged them together so i'll change the tittle right now LOL. ANyways I found this one in my H. arizonensis/H.a. pallidus tank. THere so small and the tank is big I cant even find the mom right now or see how many i have in total. I already seperated three. Funny thing is they look like they've been feeding of the roaches I left in there some look like 3I already but I don't think i've been out of my house that long unless she gave birth some time before I left...which is possible.

I was a little confused by what was going on . . . but that's awesome if you've got H. arizonensis babies!!

....and very possibly H. arizonensis x H.a pallidus babies too.

The one in the picture looks like "pallidus" to me. If you have some of each, I guess that solves whether it's just a color form. Either way, congrats on the kids

Well i seen them interbreed before but I have a male and female of each. Cant really tell but that one came out of the H. arizonensis (normal) for sure.

Sounds like an idea to me. I've got a black light just need a portable light unit. If were lucky we should also find various pandinus sp too, so many have escaped over the years they have colonised in the south... are you old enough to remember when it was in the news a few years ago... we had a heat wave and the emperor scorpions bred like mad. They were appearing in peoples houses and gardens!

nice catches eddy. your luck to get arizonensis babies, i hear they are really difficult to raise in captivity.

mine are doing fine

and lady>> i dont remember that being on the news, i remember the stories of them turning up in peoples houses, either way be interesting to see what we would find.

i keep forgetting you're only a young un... you would have only been about 10 when it was in the news!!

wow eddy, congrats on the 3i babies, hell i would love to have a chance to even get a gravid female to drop babies

just plain awesome bro that 3i in the pic had great colors

I'm thinking it's a subspecies hybrid.

either way, i love the colors on that beauty

how many do you have

That i've seen...three. If i find more than five I'll send some your way. But they are Tiny and....my enclosure is big enought to house 10 full size H. arizonensis. Plus the 8 inches of sand ....and 6 burrows....i probably wont see many of them untill they get bigger.

thanks bro, i will dance at ya wedding for that

Well if doesn't get any darker we can cofirm it arizonensis/pallidus. Since it did come out of a arizonensis. So you might be one of the few semi-hybrid owners.

i hope so, cuz of the colors, not for the hybrid thing

lol I live in a place where they are bountiful, yet never find any.

lol you need to try harder then l
