Scored some A. mauritanicus

Just received 2.3.0 and boy, am I excited! ...but I'm new to Andros, my only other being a lone australis.

Is it advisable to house them together?









-Chris

Oh, man am I jealous. How much did those set you back?

I think Brian S. houses all his adults together.

Its truely a awsome scorp, but i whould recommend giving him some more room, and maybe some flat rocks he can hide under..

I'll just say "fair market value" ...enough to leave a dent. I understand they're difficult to breed. With some good fortune, perhaps 2008 will be the mauri's year and we'll see a foothold in the trade.

Temporary housing until I can figure out where to put 'em.

-Chris

Sweet!!! lovely!!!

I too would give him a hide and maybe some more floor space, but maybe this is what you have put him in for pictures.
Very good pics by the way!

xxxxx

did you get these from Reptist?

Nupe

I love these guys lucky you. I think I know where you got it.
-Eddy

congrats on your new scorpions bro

best of luck of seeing if you can get these to produce

never kept any of these species before let alone any in that genus

hmmm.. that scorpion looks bold and tough
would love to get one

I'm a little jealous I won't lie. Congrats man.

-Dustin

ok spill the beans where did you get these attractive creatures?

Sorry if I'm being less-than-forthcoming Yes, mauri's are in short supply - both in the US and in Europe. My intentions are purely benevolent This is an awesome species and woefully under-represented. And like the next chump I feel like MY captive breeding efforts merit an earnest attempt. It's tough enough procuring 1-2 specimens - let alone a healthy breeding population.

As said in the movie "Robots" - See a need, fill a need. I know there are several current AM breeding projects out there - for one motivation or another. If things do work out, I don't intend on raking ca$he when it comes time to spread the love. I want to contribute a little something to the hobby I love.

-Chris

Almost every scorpion species I own, I got with the intention of breeding it. So to you!

Same here! I'm currently working on:

H. judaicus (having success!!!! I lost count of spermatophores)
B. jacksoni
R. junceus
H. trilineatus
...and now A.M's

-Chris

I'm working on:

H. paucidens <-- need to not reject male
H. longimanus <-- need to mature
P. imperator <-- need to mature
P. cavimanus <-- need to mature
B. jacksoni <-- they've cohabited for a few days, but I can't find a spermatophore
V. spinigerus <-- community looks like it has a gravid female in it
C. hentzi <-- forgot to give the female a cooling period; no idea what will happen

(If more of us post stuff like this, I can split it into a "breeding projects?" thread ).

I keep my breeding projects small but expect to see some H.arizonensis pallidus soon . And a few un-named others as far as slings that i will be breeding soon:(all still 2i or 3I)
B.jacksonii(chocolate and regular)
R. junceus
and a few species of hotten.

Awesome additions,lucky you.. I miss mine
