Babycurus jacksoni fighting?

Hi!
I keep 4 Babycurus jacksoni in a 30*30*30 cm/12*12*12" enclosure. Yesterday I friend of mine noticed something he belived was fighting.When he told me, and I checked, everything was fine.
I was just wondering if this might have been an actuall fight, part of courtship or just a little argue to settle dominance?

They have a lot of hides, and I give them plenty of food.
The actions he witnessed was one scorp grabbing the other ones pedipalp.

That sounds alot like mating. Hehe.

Yeah, probably mating -- a lot of people new to the hobby mistake it for fighting.

I recall you posting a lot of great pictures; were any of those of your jacksoni? They're fairly easy to sex when mature:


Note the male's pedipalps.

cute.

I will try to get some pictures of the 4 going toghether. Kejser helped me sex them when I bought them, but he belived they all were females. BUT, he said one or two could possibly be males. Will have to check them again

Yeah we can help with the sexing here. Especically IHeart he specializes in Bjacks.

I do?

Now you do...god you make me look bad sometimes. LOL

I know a bit about them. After seeing the difference between males and females of the instar where males are mature, and when the female matured an instar later, I feel confident sexing adult specimens.
