My new H.Spinifer

hey everyone, i got a male H.spinifer from a mate as a congratulations on my divorce lol it was the best present of the night lol anyway here he is




sorry about the poor quality of the pics i had to take them using my phone, my proper camera has died .

Sorry and congrats on the break up mate. What a present though! Wish people would give me scorps for presents haha lovely looking scorp. Obviously not too aggressive for ya, nice one.

cheers bro. My mate got it from Scales n fangs lol just about to go out to wiltons and get a proper enclosure for him , atm he is in a cricket tub poor fella aint got much room to move lol

Wicked mate, you'l get him a good tank set up. I'm fairly sure i'v seen this guy in there, nice big scorp. We've got quite a few things between us from there now lol

I know wiltons, in basildon right? Thats actually where i got my very first scorp from when I was about 12, an emperor.

yeah its by sadlers farm roundabout down pound lane. there quite cheap in there for substrate and food but they've got a bit of a bad name for themself with the reptiles. Rob has made a fourtune from me and you lol

GZ on that manser Just keeps getting better and better, huh? Maybe a divorce isn't so bad afterall with presents like that lol!

yea i know, the best thing thats happend to me lol

Nice Big guy you have there bro!
Its always a great gift to get scorps as presents

Don't even think about it Rene, I hardly think it is worth it, not to mention I don't know about you but with my luck I'd get a divorce and would get nothing!

Congrats on the new addition Manser, definitely a beauty!! I can't wait until my babies get that big!

Nice scorp, Manser. That spinifer looks huge, about how big is it?

Yea I know about their bad name with their livestock lol thats sorta why i'v steered clear since getting back into the hobby but like you say still good for equiptment and that, specially if you live nearby.
I live in chelmsford so my best local is rayleigh Swallows, they're getting quite good for rep stuff. Have you ever been cold blooded? ScalesandFangs still rated highest on my list in Essex though.

Wish my mates would even take an interest, let alone give me some!

he is big and is a sub-adult lol

cheers for the kind words people but yeah a divorce aint great, im broke now and in loads of debt lol

yeah ive been cold blooded and been swallows, i was down there the other week actully, i like swallows, shame they never have any scorps in. you ever been Animal world in grays? they had sum fat tailed scorps in stock you would of needed your dwa but its still cool to see them. i dont really have that many mates who are into exotic pets only a couple, when ever i tell people i got scorps its always 'why?? why on earth??' id rather have a scorp than a hamster or sumthing.

Well, I ain't married and never gonna be! I have a beautiful girlfriend that I have been with for four years now, and I don't need no priest, judge or anyone elses words for that "I may now kiss the bride" ! I know it's only symbolic now a days, but I'm just not really into the whole "If you sin, you go to hell, so pay your taxes to the church"-thing! Ofcourse I respect all religions, but it's just not for me

+ nothing is forever, don't forget that

I second that that spinifer is big!

Nope never knew about that shop i'll have to check it out, would have like to seen those fat tails, Androctonus sp. maybe? Yea swallows has got better and better but the only scorps i'v ever seen were baby emperors kept under constant black light! and cold blooded were trying to sell a H. swammerdami for £85 lol

I get that all the time, I just keep it to myself now lol

I'm in the same boat as you Rene

yeah i didnt even want to get married, only done it to keep people happy, i dont need a certificate to say i love someone lol and im not even a christian lol im the opposite. but anyway getting back on subject b4 we get told of lol this scorp has got amazing grip on him, he was climbing up my arm so i went to pick him up and couldnt get him off lol he just gripped onto my shirt for dear life , think ill call him hercules lol

+1 here René! My "Mrs." and I aren't actually married. We've been together for years and years and see no need for contracts and arcane religious ceremonies. We're registered with the state as domestic partners so we can make medical decisions for one another should one of us become unable to care for ourselves.

That's a sub?? Wow, he's going to be a monster! Congrats manser!

Yea, sorry got a habit of that!

I sometimes get surprised by how strong the claws are on even the tiniest scorpion! They can hold struggling prey that sometimes are up to three times as big

Hercules would be a pretty cool name for him

Androctonus australis i think. it was only about a month ago so he might still have them, i got spinifer scorplings from there too, he has alot of cool stuff like goliath titan spider and he even had a brazilian wondering spider its a cool place and one of the blokes actully knows what hes chatting about for once lol

hercules wernt gripping with his claws (thank god lol) he was griping with his feet lol ive never had a struggle with a scorp before lol

Well I'd say there is a good reason for it then! I just think that having "a contract" on eachother doesn't make your partner love you more, it's just makes it harder for her/him to leave which will eventually lead to screwing around with the gardner, screwed-up kids, etc.
People that has celebrations when they divorce eachother, now that makes sence! Then everyone including the kids can move on in a good way

Oh and on the subject: Only a sub-adult?! Now that's HUGE

I absolutely agree....



on BOTH points. lol!

yeah, i think hercules is the perfect name for him lol

one thing im glad is that we didnt have kids, that would have just been horrible. but yeah i dont think ill be getting married again lol

im gonna try n get a female spinifer soon to breed

watched him feed earlier on, and he is savage lol

Yea, it's the same with my female emperor fed her a pretty large locust and she ripped it in half with the claws

haha sweet. i know some-one who has got a female sub-adult so it should be cool if i can get it
