Pandinus Cavimanus

How big do they get?

Mine is just under an inch and has a blackish telson. It isn't very red at the mo. Will try and get some pics soon.

I asked the same thing in another post and didn't get a reply. Someone said in another forum theres was 7" but they could be BS'n . Mine is about three inches.

I think it depends really. some induvidual scorpions are bigger than others. I think they get around generally the same size as emps.. mabye a little smaller? I dunno.

my old female was slightly smaller than my emps. but occasionally you will get a specimen that defies the average length. I saw an emp on Sunday that was nearly the size of a swamerdammi!!!!!

Anyone know how long it takes for them to reach adulthood?

I was just wondering because it is tiny, has a blackish telson, very dark red which you can only see in light and the crickets are only just smaller than it! lol

Then that means it's a juvenile.

Did you try looking up pictures of adults?

Being a Scorpionidae, it will probably take a few years to mature.

I have. Now I no that they have blackish telsons. But i cannot find any pics of juveniles.

I will try and post a pic of mine and see if that can confirm it.



Thanks

so it takes around 2-3 years for them to reach adult hood? mine is about three inches long how long before full grown?

mines still a small one then

Mine was slightly smaller than the current imperators, almost as black with slightly reddish claws. They have a different temperament mind you, quicker moving and more defensive. if I was to need to pick up a cavimus or Op. wahlbergii, I would pick up my wahlbergii!
