***Our ever growing collection.. Enjoy *** Updated 04.05.2011

Thanx! Getting a canon 550d tomorrow so gonna be able to gt much better pics soon well excited

God I would love it if we could just find stuff in the back garden and just down the road, the only thing we have here in the uk is a non-native colony of Euscorpius flavicaudis about an hour way from us!

I was worried about having scorp with kids about but they know the score and don't go near them also most of our have locks on or are squeezed so tight in the shelf there is no way of getting into them now

Also we are not allowed anything in the buthidae family so can't have the more toxic species anyways, would love to keep c.gracilis or c.vits or something similar Keep us update on the thing in the log lol

Turns out the Log is Hollow....& the Thing in the Log isnt alone.....lol
Its the same kind of Scorpion I posted PhotoBucket Links too
Pretty sure theyre C.Sculpt...dang that ones huge...

That's cool can u get any pics?

smoke

Im going to try smoking out the log I think...Im a little more than nervous about what will come running out when I do though!
Totally NOT prepared to have the 17+glowing critters I saw last night go fleeing for their lives....
My neighbor might come over & cut the log up into rollable chunks for me...Its over 30ft long & incredibly heavy,making it easy for the Scorpions to play hide & seek!
Anybody near Queen Creek,Az wanna come help me catch these guys??

lol good luck dude. I like you

I would come and help if i was anywhere near lol

I would love to too!

Well...obviously Im sucky @ the picture thing,but I'll try...lol
My question is does anybody know of a Bark Scorpion that is 2x bigger than the other kinds?
Just from eyeballing the "Thing in the Log" Id guess it to be maybe 6inches long from nose to tail?
Lol @ Pluto..My 7yr old calls everybody "Dude"....

Could be a Hadrurus Arizonensis. They aren't bark scorpions, but get large and sometimes will adopt a hide rather than burrowing.

Well I'm 28 really, but I never got past 7 mentally.
Regarding your question about bark scorpions, 69 soixante-neuf (we always made jokes about that number too at the age of 7 and still do) ..

Centruroides gracilis is supposed to be the biggest. However, Chiapensis takes the cake imho. Hope that was of any help, dude!

Thanks StreetTrash,my next question was if the desert hairy always burrowed or not....lol

my pic threads been hijacked lol

Sorry

forgiveness
Why dont you make a new one and I will keep out of it, promised! You do have a nice cam to practice with now...

lol i forgive

wow our scorpio maurus decided to make an appearence...certainly a rare occasion

Lol he looks happy. To me, these are the only cute looking scorpions out there

Lol they are quite cute little fellas nice small with bulky claws think it's gone molt soon

I thought these were more active. Arethey reallythat big pet holes?

Looks lke a premade hole.

They tend to sit at the entrance of there tunnels very rarely will they have a walk around, the burrow was initially made by the scorp but it came up under/next to the water bowl which started to collapse in so I moved it and the hole opened up more, this lil guy has excavated a whole load of tunnels it's mad how much the dig

Lurus dufoureius asiaticus

That little guy sitting in his tunnel is awesome lol.

What's your arizonus and cavimanus like? That's the only 2 I have. What's the pokie like too!

our arizonensis is a pet hole we never see her our cav is a little bastard lol he ate one of the females when we tried mating them (we kinda forgot and left them overnight )

pokie is a funny girl shes meant to be arboreal but has made a funny kind of burrow/nest web up against the side of the tank on the floor lol shes mega fast too bit scary lol

bex.. you got a pokie :O
i guess you are interested teleportation etc lol.
