What a great page GS! Thank you

Thanks babe! Glad you enjoyed it.. hoho

Excellent info. Thanks again DolbyR for guiding be back to it!

GS, sorry but, in your website, the pic of the male grasping the female's chela, you wrote, "right chela = female , left chela = male". The pic shows that the right chela was the bulbous one and the left was the slender one. Is there a mistake? Because by looking at ur other pics on the same page, for example the very first pic, the male P Trans u marked 1.0 which is a male, had bulbous chela, and another photo of the male P Trans molting from 6i>7i, had too, bulbous chela. I dont mean any offence, but i would just like to inform u incase there is a mistake. Or i could be wrong.

There is no need to apologise. Typos and errors should be corrected.
Yes, it is a wrong placement of words. Thanks for the heads-up.

Btw do you have problems reading pm? The question i'm asking is not related to any threads.
Please reply via pm.

Hi guys. Just want to share some random shots with my P. trans.

Awesome pics, specially the B&W telson shot.

Nice pic's, thanks for sharing!

Great pictures especially #5 !
The contrast and composure is definitely awesome
The "spikes" caught my attention too... a 100% wicked shot! It can definitely be a great Avatar

Gd luck bro
Maybe yours will give a brood soon.. the massive "pile-on" for P.trans females always amaze me!

Btw which instar is your gravid female and when was she mated?

shes now a 7i. she was mated around mid Sept 2011 twice.

here she is now:

Very sweet looking. That fatness... is going to explode into slings of good count

haha hopefully. my first ptrans breeding project.

Nothing beats the joy of raising and self-breeding

This Parabuthus transvaalicus 5.instar female is about to molt very very soon..

This is "THE" pre-molt position which i have observe in all my desert specimens which i would like to share. Refer to the picture below, as the actual day of molting draws near, the pair of chela is bent more inwards to the Chelicera. Metasoma is in a relax position.

woah pre molt aint the word ......

I'd also like to point out that in GS' second picture you can clearly see the developed tergites through the pleural membrane. Once this is visible a molt should come quite quickly.

Obeah,very nice pics.love the silhouette and b&w.
Gs nice pics too,you always document everything with pics,i like that.
