Euscorpius flavicaudis Discussion Thread

nice pics bex.. good macro.
when did your Euscorp collection become 21?

lol We already had a few and then she gave birth to 15 babies and we got a few from sheerness didnt we
we dont have a macro yet either we being crafty and using a macro ring so you just turn the lense around

oh yeah naturally..
i forgot you had new babies.
i just looked at your pics

how big is that P. regalis btw?

Great pics bex! Wish i could zoom in like you, comes in handy when shooting a tiny widow..

thanx be much better when we get the proper macro lense and lighting though

um regalis is about 2"

^ oh it looks mahoosive in the pics lol
how much did it set you back or was that a b'day present?

was a pressie but would have been £10

^ still, that's surprisingly not much. an adult would set you back 10X as much

'kin hell they are greedy.
each one has a cricket head sticking out of its mouth lol.
they are a bit fat now lol. won't feed them for a while

must be hungry lol

i guess so..
they probably don't eat a lot in the 'wild' anything they can get which is pretty much just wood lice, not the S. florentina (they'z nasty)

just noticed, my big yellow banner is quite distracting lol

these e.flavs can go a whole year on one feed Tom

hmm yeah the yellow is slightly nauseating

tom mine are both stuffing their gobs too :L

how often do you feed 'em bex?

Bout once a week

good.. that was the plan.
it's crazy how much these little scorpions can eat though. they have all finished now. the largest cricket was actually bigger than one of the scorps (prekilled) which was eaten in a day lol.. no more food for a couple of weeks methinks?

are you able to collect EFS from the wild in the uk or are they protected?

not protected as they are not native to the country ,,,, which is a shame in a way as there has been plans to rip down the wall in which they live

isn't there a certain time living here and then they are counted as native?
naturally, if you do collect.. don't over collect

not a problem my friend i only wanted to go down and experience them in the wild , and show my little boy,i might be stating the obvious but is they any chance of relocating them somewhere not to far away,does anybody roughly know how large the colony is,how many groups are involved in helping to protect it,to me i think scorps are nature's little jewels.I only got into scorpions by accident but i wish i took more of an interest sooner.

sorry sent the post twice still getting used this forum.

Unfortunately it's illegal to actually try to colonise them somewhere else

and if you want to see them, you'll need a uv light.. you get the occasional one that just walks around but.. often
