Maam/Sir i am a hobbyist from philippines, i would like you guys to help me what will i gonna choose h. longimanus or h. laoticus. Hope you could help me guys. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Hi there,

I would pick the H. longimanus and hopefully you can get a male because they have very long and slender chelae--very cool

Although H.Laoticus i thought you would have gone for H.laoticus considering your name?lolz

I'd go for H. longimanus as well, simply because they're so massive. I had a big female who was relatively docile and impressed a lot of people at BugZoo outreaches I did in college. (A lot of kids handled her, found out she wasn't scary, and promptly asked their parents for a scorpion .)

i would go with longimanus, because their big and their the big boys of the heterometrus group. but if i was given the choice of anything from the heterometrus it would either be a spinifer or petersii

thanks guys! I chose a possibly gravid h. longimanus.... I will post the photo soon of some of my collections... Thanks again. Cheers!

lol yea

I named myself H. laoticus because I thought my first scorpion was an H. laoticus (stupid pet store) until I properly ID'd it to be H. petersii (I hope lol).

I have never owned an H. longimanus, but I'd love to get my hands on a male.

gudb0i: cool, will wait for your pics
