Urodacus Elongatus Same fe-male NEW MALE!

Fe-Male and Male ( Day 1 Together )






Male


Fe-Male

that's some crazy sexual dimorphism.


your female looks quite fat....

I really like the metasoma of this species.

Methinks your female may be gravid . . .

yea i thought the same but shes been that size for to long and several australian scorp exprets recon they r ment to be that size including graham norton but im still hopeing she may produce a brood

I guess you'll have to wait and see then.

By the way, did you notice the first two pictures are the same file?

including graham norton

norton is a australian scorpion expert wrote a few excelent books on how to keep them in different conditions and burrow re-creation

ah. It's just 'cause there is a famous comedian over here called graham norton.

that's where my mind went at first (I watch waaaaay too much BBC, Damn you Ramsay!!!!)

i love the urodacus genus, and its a shame we have yet to see them over here in the states in any mentionable numbers, but i find them, as well as the spiraling burrows fascinating.

wats the rough gestation period of a scorpion?? cause she'ss been that way for about 2 months now

It differs between species, captive conditions; humidity, Temps, etc.


It'll definetly be over 2 months anyway.

desert species with long lifespans typically have gestations that last a long time sometimes up to a year and a half.

SHES GRAVID!! u can see the babies ill try and get a photo IM SO EXCITED!!!! YAY!!!

Huzzah!

I'd suggest separating them, so she doesn't make a meal out of her mate.
