Androctonus Australis

He's looking for clients immediately.. he doesnt want them in his shop because of possible runners :-)
This means that they will be placed directly.

Mom all clean (the shed skins came off like a brownie) and regaining strength



Small ones in the containerbox!




I'm sorry for the picture quality. I dont want to disturb them too much since they are still looking for their mother and to settle down. Dont want them too nervous so they attack each other.

Omg! I can't stand it, they are freakin adorable........even as deadly as they are. Just wanna cuddle all of em...........doh!

I couldn't agree more!!! They look beautiful! I know we've talked about this, but I will buy some from you I'd love to provide some of them with a good home!

A good home that would be! If you can get them to grow like you grew yourself, you have some pretty groovy monsters in a few years time :-D

hahaha Nice!

You bet, they be eatin' good in Texas. We grow 'em big here!!! LOL!

Lol lots of cabbage no doubt!!! You show them! lol

so how long before you put her back in with a male.

The adult female? It is already back in. I took advantage of the confusion she had so she would not stay bad tempered.

They had a slight show off yesterday.

But everything is fine now and they are together back in the same burrow chilling. Love! Its a strong thing.

She is eating heavily to make up for nutrients lost.

kool!!!

Congrats Bro and good luck even with half of them promised out 39 is still a butt load of babies. To bad you're not around here cause I'd def take a couple off your hands.

Thanks Saleen

They are rather cute though, so I dont mind having them around for a few weeks. After that OUT! Gets too dangerous!

Ok so I had the opportunity to photograph Captain Crunch.

He was walking with three crickets.. two in each pincher and one in the mouth.
Will see if one worked out ok. So Captain Crunch was very blurry.

But I took these. Size 2-3cm about 1/3rd bigger than androctonus bicolor instar 3 scorplings.

The general stance and attitude


This shows how quick they are


I had to dump an entire cricket tub in there (to avoid cannibalism since I saw some skirmishes) with cricket size 4.. thats around 100 -150 crickets, only a few are still alive.

After this only one more update to go (for when they're fully round from eating) before shipping.

Notice the color changes, they almost are exact copies of their parents miniature size


And general attitude again

Hey Pluto how long before they can be sexed? They're lookin' pretty awesome!

Well you can sex them already.. if you can take macrophotos. Pectine count.
They're pretty fiesty yes and awesome looking. Real mongrels

Almost ready for their journey (holding a cricket). You can tell they hardened up completely since they already have the adult colors, note the black tailtip. Very pronounced.

Beautiful!!! It's looks great! Is it any different getting tagged by one like this than an adult!

Yes it is different. The venom and toxicity will be the same.. but the adults will inject A LOT more according to the size difference.

The adults have a telson which is almost as tall as the tail of these youngsters to give an idea.

I'm sorry, I guess I should have said aside from the obvious difference in size. So other than that it's the same. Wow! What would you recommend for the size of a tank for say five of these.

Normally people keep these separated since they are cannibalistic and mostly solitary critters. I'd say 30x30 is big enough for one, I even keep a couple on that small place but i give them leveldifferences so its actually bigger.

I tend to keep them together since they keep and behave well (at this age) together.
If you put two males together as adults, I think you can have trouble or find one or two dead.

Thanks Pluto! Things to consider!!!

they are gorgeous
