[Discussion] Androctonus spp.

I would say A. bicolor first, they are smaller, and alot more temper (from what ive read here since i have no experience with A. australis) And the A. australis is bigger and more potent, you youll be ready for that if you start with A. bicolor.

EDIT: Bicolors have STRONG metasomas, so lifting them with tweezers is somewhat different to other species.

hmmmmm do a bicolors (normal, not having any morphs) really pitch black ?

Usually, the "Fat tail" is more significantly shown from 5th instar onwards. 4i maybe right after its freshly molted, being a glutton as they are(usually) in no time, they will become "walking sausages"

for you bro GS? A.A. or A. bicolor?

no contest, Bicolor is king creep out of all scorpions :-)

WOW GS,what an AWESOME molt vid!!

idk about that pluto...its pretty damn creepy when one cant even see the scorps during the day....

Well I smoked this one out, otherwise you cant see him either. They dig a lot too.
And as you can see, poke it and it goes defense mode.

That male sure looks mean^^

Hehe Will, Im sure that amongst one of your breedings will be several of these. So you will enjoy them too. Actually he would be scary if he was larger than a cricket.

Probably alot of those^^ my female is about the size of G. portentosa i would say, dont know the size of the second female i havent recieved yet

That s twice the size of mine, even my female

Well yours are Aenas arnt they?

They are supposed to yes. But I read from the reports that the size difference is not that distinct. So I guess mine are just very little ontop of being another morph.

There is little difference between the morphs. Maybe a bit more glossy and really dark, coloration overall.

Granulation is different too but you have got to be pro to see it.

Lots and lots of pictures incoming here, but it will be picture heave.. dunno if that is allowed for loading times?

So far for disturbing the lovebirds lol.. I think she went basket just now.. soo.. will see tomorrow.

Def. keep us posted man. I know you will...

Is that an ordinary bottlecap? for like 50cl, 1.5litre etc soda bottles?!
