new scorps = me very happy

got a bunch of new scorpions today so i am here to spread the joy
2x Urophonius granulatus, the second fat one could be preggas


2x Brachistosternus castroi (red form)


1x Brachistosternus negrei

if anyone has any info or experience with any of these please let me know

ok, no idea why photos dont work!?!?

i think lisa had some U granulatus so she can help with them...
try putting the pics as links for now.

maybe this

or

ok pic troubles over

great.

if your Urophonius granulatus is gravid, I think you'll be one of the first to have captive borns in britain.

and they are hungry

observation- the castroi seem to prefer some warmth as they stayed at the warmer ends of their accommodation
and the negrei likes to burrow, within 5 mins it was burrowing about like a mole

wow... is that male?! look at its pectines!!

yeah both do have very large pectines so i guess male, dont know if there are any other differences to determine sex in this species though?

ok me very jealous!

The u.granulatus is pretty easy to keep. room temp is fine

sand / forest bed mix, a couple of inches will do.

wants to be slightly damp. best way i can describe it is when you squeeze the substrate you should feel the dampness, if it starts feeling wetter, dont mist as much until it dries out a bit
I had a milk bottle cap with stones and water in but it mainly drank from the water droplets.
slate / cork bark for a small hide.
they do burrow a little but tend to stay under hides
mist once or twice a week
pretty easy to keep really

My female was gravid, thats her in my avatar but i'm presuming she was old and died before giving birth, gutted

anyway good luck and post what you can on the forum, this is still a species with very little known about it so all information is needed

as for the other species, try and find out from Lee the exact area where they were found to ascertain temperatures / substrate / humidity.

Those are freakin tight.

Sweet!

From the spidershop yeah!?

How big are they? I need to get ordering! Could you pop up some pic of thier enclosures?

ps you have some excellent shots in photobucket! Especially of the Hadgones Paucidins

this is the U granulatus

the negrei

the granulatus is 2ish centimeters and the negrei is about 5
the granulatus are room temp with slightly damp cocofibre and the negrei is on dry with a hint of moisture, i.e. not bone dry, slightly higher temp and deeper substrate.
bow down to the might of the spider shop

Ooh, awesome, nice looking scorps. Hope she's preggers

i just might have to order the granulatus, hopefully after the weekend

go for it
i only hope they are still available

i know tell me about it!
