My Pandinus cavimanus (pic heavy)

my big 'ole red claw.. looking very green at the moment, looking a bit Heterometrus lol. i think he must be mature by now. what do you guys think?

Nice pics. How big is he? Looks just like mine. Is your guy very aggressive too?

he's about 13 cm without the tail. it's amazingly aggresive, very pinch.. they hurt lol

Looks adult to me our male cav ate our female when we tried to mate them

oh no i was considering buying him a mate.. that's made my mind up, he's a right soab at times.. well, all the time.

we had been putting them together for a few hours at a time for mating and accidently left them over night and came down to a half eating female cav you really need to keep a close eye on them, we still have another female so hope is not lost altogether lol

they are deffo not communal at all but i would say to have a go at mating, its hard though

it's still not worth rising it
would love to have a go at breeding imperator though

Shouldnt be too hard. From what I experience is that nature wants siblings :-)
Feed them good, dont stress them out and put them together. Having a tank with a removable separation really helps though.

This does not stress the animals out and they will venture toward each other without the stress of having been removed from their homes.

Put in a slate on which they can dance and you are golden.

It is VERY VERY unlikely your male or female will get eaten this way.

If you come across a gorgeous grabready woman, would you kill her or have fun with her? I know what I would do! It is that simple. Oh yes, I have a girlfriend, good we work anonymously here.




Besides, I dont think these big scorpions can kill each other that fast. Bex might have more experience with that though lol

our girl was ripped o pieces in a space of about 7 hours claws was broken her head was split open and she was virtually cut in two

but yeah maybe sectioning off is the way to go then they are in ther own environment without any intervention from us to stress them out...need some perspex now lol

Bex, when did that happen, I remember you bought the cavi's not too long ago, rite?
So sorry for your loss. I was gonna take a Cavi this week, but the guy who used to carry them seemed to have only an emp available.

Bex,

Or Cavimanus and pandinus are EXCEPTIONALLY hostile versus each other or I'm just having baby scorpions.

Mind you, the ones I put together are supposed to be a lot hotter blooded species and they just get along, even if not mating.... so I don't understad it really.

I know you feed them enough so..

So I guess it is a genus thing, or yes minimize stress :-)
But I'm sure you will get them to wink at each other pretty soon.

Look what you have, you have scorplings already!
