need your advice.

Usually you can place the scorpion in an empty container and tilt it up slightly to get an underneath photo.

Scarier specimens such as my A. mauritanicus readily glassdanced for me when I encouraged them out of their hides. I also moved my [also scary] P. liosoma into a delicup so I could hold her above the camera without fear of tipping or dropping the container.

Ahhh... thanks, if mine is still wandering around the tank I might try to get some new pics for my thread under sexing...

You can put it on a scanner under a towel and scan it.

watch this video...

nice. i used the glass method. i wasnt sure but i was when she popped.....

Great video! Are those your scorpions? They're so chill, and very impressive.

That was so helpful, I think if I still need to get some pectine shots I can get some good ones now. Again, very helpful vid, thanks!

Thanks... and Yes! All the Pandinus and Heterometrus I've ever owned have been very calm once out of their enclosure.

yeah that video is great, but some people say they are more worried about the pinch. to me i would be more worried about the sting.

I've had broken skin, blood blisters and bruises from pinches yet in 2 years+ never stung by them.

Well, there also is the luck aspect. You've got yourself two gentle looking giants (No doubt a bit more territorial in-tank). I hope to get a red claw near that size (though they do get a bit smaller) and hope it is... well... not majorly aggressive... if he is well, he wont be comin out much

the scorpion of topic, she came out for a little while a few nights ago. but not for long.

been keeping a close eye on her, it seems her body is so swollen it doesnt bend like it should lol. maybe she is close, i hope.

i also tried to feed her, and she wasnt interested..

if you get a chance you should get some more comparison pictures, oh the anticipation!

ive actually got bigger emps than her. she has a smaller frame, if that makes sense.

the only reason i posted this is because this emp fattend up quick without eating.

Ahhh gotcha, well good luck with the brood sir

see, i have 2 more fat emps, and one regular size.





also, the scorp of topic is still refusing to eat, is aggressive also.

they seem to get along fine, they will huddle on top of each other under the light in the daytime and all squeeze in their burrow at night.

but i just got a 20 gallon tank so now i can separate them totally.

Totally gravid id say.
Liberochie just had babies(my Emp)
She looked like that for about 4 months b 4 she popped so you never know, whay worked for me was uping the temp and humidity in the enclosure and about 3-4 days later she had 19 scorplings this was a little less that week ago
good luck with the babies

i agree wi connie you really should mover her to her own tank, i understand that they get along fine but it only takes a minute for something to go wrong, just picture a pregnant woman shes normally lovely but when shes gunna pop she aint so sweet no more, so basically why risk your scorpions?
