Well, I'll post some pics up tonight or something but I have 52 Hottentotta Trilineatus in housed in baby food jars without lids. I keep all the jars in a longer sterylite storage bin with the top cut out and a screen over it. I can just fly through with a spray bottle a jar of pinheads. So that is easy.

Thats a great idea bro! Something you really need for your hundreds of scorplings

Look forward to your pics!

Ah, that's clever

Btw GS is that your Androctonus Australis you got there on your profile pic?

would love to get my hands on some Hottentotta judaicus as well

I would love to get some H. Judaicus or H. Salei also, very beautiful species from what all the pictures I have seen portray!

Well, I posted some pics up per your request of how I am currently housing my scorplings. Hope you enjoy also. I found a freshly molted H. Spinigerus tonight also!! This is my first H. Spinigerus to make 3i, seemed to take forever to go from 2i to 3i. Here is the link to the post on this forum https://scorpionforum.darkbb.com/t5675-baby-pictures#66907

2 pairs. In the midst of consolidating some vids as well.. will post up soon

Interesting feeding Video to share with you guys:

I was feeding my 21 H.Hottentotta babies which turned 4th Instars recently.
I dropped a cricket into one of the 21 partitions and realised that there were two of them resting side by side right next to each other (apparently one of them has climbed over to her sisters' partition)
They took down the cricket together but they ain't really prepared to share their kill thou.. lolz



It was a small fight over food which ended with no injury. Am waiting eagerly for them to turn 6th Instars for a 21 HH communal setup

Sweet video bro! I love the part where one's sitting there chilled out holding the cricket, cleaning his chelea while the other one's trying to drag the cricket away hands free haha great stuff

Awesome vid! Great quality and beautiful scorps! Love it! The double sting was cool to see!

Thanks guys

Updates on my H. Hottentottas:

Adults: Another 2 (Stun & Pierce) popped! and one more adult H.Hottentotta popping any min.
Scorplings: All 21 H.Hottentotta babies from Stun has made it to fifth instar one week ago

Wow That could get out of hand!

Pure scorpion porn as always.

Thanks Jamie

Yeah, should be getting out of hand very soon once Stun's 1st brood of 21 reaches adulthood soon.
Just checked on Pierce's brood and counted 39 (which i can't really tell from the pictures earlier)

Due to space contraints, I'm still considering whether to house the scorplings together (Stun's 2nd brood and pierce's 1st brood)

Most probably gonna lose up to 40% of the brood in the long run.. but one thing for sure is those remaining ones will definitely be the big ones.

Mass feeding for my 5th Instars H.Hottentottas! BaM BaM + BAM!!

Actual video is in 720HD in my iphone but i couldn't get it downloaded to my pc for youtube upload and have to do direct upload from iphone which makes the reso low in 360HD. Will try to rectify it for your enjoyment.
Here goes..

attempting a closer shot...

As usual, pure quality! :-) thanks bro Gs

These are an awesome looking species, I'd love to be able to keep them.
One day maybe....

Ooh, forgot to say, fantastic pics.

They seem pretty vicious too...

I heard tamulus went to the hottentotta subspecies instead of being mesobuthus?

Yeah, tamulus changed a while back.

As spoken bex, if i've the chance to send u some scorps,
A gravid HH or up to 30pcs of HH slings as freebie is not an issue at all!
I'm basically overwhelmed right now. Ha
Oh yeah, my H.spinfer slings are also ready, they're 3-4i now.
Lychas mucronatus is brewing as well and not forgetting my fav T.stigmurus
Do check out my webby for the list.

Cheers,
GS
