Will3's Scorpions

Great collection there!
That Uroplectes vittatus is a stunner! I think i just fell in love again.. lol

how far is the bicolor by the way? I have some good material to compare... so, I'm curious..

Is she already past the "white dot stage'?

Yes, i bought her this way

wow thats good value for money then. I suppose I did too, even tho i mated her with my male..

I have white dots everywhere on her now.. I cant see any with yours that is why i was wondering how far along she is.

Hmm my LQ acts wierd, she hangs in the corner by the plant instead of under the wood.

How long do you have her?

Three days now, thought she would go hide :/

She will then, just relax.. she is exploring her habitat :-) If a desert species is kept hot and dry and she eats, all is fine :-)

Not really exploring, shes just sitting there, been doin so for 24 hours now.

hmmm have you poked her gently? :-) What does she do?

She just moves slightly, not really pissed at all.

She ate in those three days?

No not yet, saw her drink a little tho.

New scorps today


A. bicolor, female, embrios can be slightly seen, more than the other bicolor

Hottentotta hottentotta `caboverdensis`, instar 3, got three of these.

Leiurus guinquestriatus, instar 3

Centruriudes sculpturatus, got 2.1 of these, the one in the picture is a male.

I love C. sculpts. You'll definitely have a gravid female in no time flat!

Yeah i love them too! the guy i got them from (traded 2 T's for 6 scorps), said that he saw 3 matings.

They are quite a prolific species in captivity. Not sure if you've kept them before, but they do like a bit more humidity than a normal desert species. Give them a pop cap with gravel in it for water, fill it daily, and give them a mist once a week.

Will do that gettin Exo-Terra petboxes tomorrow.

Nice. I should have said light mist. Don't soak them.

Well i knew that^^
There seems to be alot of different oppinions on how to keep the LQs, some say bonedry and some say slightly humid.

I haven't got any personal experience with those yet. Thinking about trying out a communal setup with some in the future though. In the wild I'm sure they inhabit all sorts of different micro climates. Probably what's best is to narrow down where yours came from and look up their annual climate. Try to emulate it you know? If it's captive bred then find out how your supplier was keeping them. I feel that scorpions are reasonably adaptable.

Seems like me and the LQ dont have the same taste in decoration xD

He making a mess out of things? I have the same problem with my parabuthus, they are not mini dozers, they just are dozers!

Im just waiting for her to flip the plant over hehe, but i do like that she can be seen so much, not a coward.

Thought it was time i uploaded some more pics of my scorps



P. cavimanus (dwarf locale from Tanzania)


C. sculpturatus adult female, gravid
