desert hairy

So I finally got a beautiful desert hairy

That looks like a big tail for a desert hairy?
or is it just me?

That would be an Androctonus sp..

With bad mycosis on two tarsi and one of the hind legs.

I noticed mycosis too

That's an androctonus O_o

THe mycosis isn't bad yet so dont worry. But thats definatly not a Desert Hairy....but you shoud defiantly handle it anyways

yeah, spotted the mycosis too.

And that for sure isnt a "desert hairy" but everyone else has said that :goodbyekitty:

I thought she could pass as desert hairy. It was sold to me as Androctonus australis but i'm not sure if it's really A.australis because her metasoma is 2X bigger and fatter than A.mauritanicus plus the male have a notch on chela like mauris.

I'll try to take clearer pics next time lol

This is an Androctonus amourexi or A.australis for sure! Mostly an A.australis.
And to me it looks like a male

Here is an hadrurus arizonensis, and you se the difference

lol! you got something a bit more dengerous than an arizonensis.


it's cooler though, keep it!

Why would you try and pretend it was a desert hairy???? Just out of mere curiosity???

i could of told that wasnt a desert hairy and i dont know much about scorps

It's a wc female bro. Give me 2 weeks to fatten her up and she'll look like a true female

That's a female? I would have guessed male with the notched and bulbous chela.

I doubt it's amoreuxi -- their metasomas aren't nearly that huge.

i must admit i assumed it was male aswell

Hi,
Here's a picture of both male and female. Their chela is the same size . Can you spot which one is male and which is female?

I would guess the male is on the right in the first two pics, as it has a smaller frame.

i think i agree but obviously seeing an underneath pic would be much better

Is that a dead scorpling i see???? or ?




That doesnt look like a molt, the tail whould lie down like that..


And Btw its the male on the left in the pictures.. you can clearly see the last segment of leg with mycosis and the spot on the 2 segment on the orther leg..

hmm i hadnt noticed that

quiz your starting to freak everyone out with the H.a thing HAHA. Nice looking scorp whatever it is.

This is an male

The pedipalps tells that, i cant really explain in English, but the little bump in their claws makes it easyer to grab female claws when thei are mating, anybody understands what im trying to tell here?

I know what you're talking about. It's the chela notch.
