Some Gravid Scorps

Here's the female B. jacksoni, pictures taken a few minutes ago:



My other female, with the male -- and I just noticed when uploading this picture that she has severe mycosis. Let's hope she pops before the mycosis kills her, which I have a feeling it will.


And here's the female C. hentzi, pictures taken yesterday (she looks fatter in person):

Well, she's not desert per se -- they like a bit of humidity just not too much. And here I was thinking it was always too dry in the tank! When I added humidity I thought they would have climed to the drier areas if it was too much for them (I've observed other scorpions do this as an indicator their environment was too wet).

Desert hairies are fun and a pretty scorpion (especially their fluorescence colors). I've got one and think she's great.

I'm actually about to go try that -- put her in a very dry container and see if she improves. I'll also see if I have any anti-fungals laying around.

Well, she's in a dry hospital delicup now. I looked underneath and there's no mycosis in her booklungs. It's just gotten her tergites and her metasmoa.

Fingers crossed!

i'm sure she'll be allright. Post some pics when shee get's healthy.

*hits head on wall*

She didn't make it . . .

So now it's down to my male, my gravid female that Brian S said might take longer to birth than expected, and the runt of my collection that refuses to molt (and that I now really really hope is a female).

Sorry to hear about your little one.

sorry to hear of the one you lost bro


that is one fatty hentzi, maybe be a brood of 15 or move <...fingers crossed for more than 15

great looking jacksoni, one of the best looking ones i have seen posted

That sucks man. When it gets to the booklungs then there usually isn't a whole lot of time left. Good luck with the Hentzi though.

I actually didn't see it in the booklungs, so I was surprised when it killed her so quickly.

Did you hear about the other two jacksoni? The runt died coming out of its molt, and the female turned out to be in premolt (not gravid). She and the male have been cohabiting for about a week now.

I hate losses, I was rabid when "Booth" my LQH died of some sort of poisoning. good luck with the last 2.

Thanks -- I've been looking for spermatophores but haven't found any yet.
