Scorpeaces' Collection. Update: 13/12/2011 Surprise batch of scorpions!!

Yeah, I've been after cyriocosmus spesies for a long time and finally managed to get a whole bunch
They are dwarf species and the elegans only reach 4-5 cm in legspan

Bought a gravid female pimp from miska1962 I have only good things to say about that seller!

Looking good there, most shiny emp i have ever seen.

Yeah, she's a real beauty ^^

congrats on your new scorp shes gorgeous

That is a blinging emp I really like those 3 T's you got there, might have to look into those, they look sweet.

The whole cyriocosmus genus is very beautiful. They are dwarf t's and some of them only achieve a legspan of about 5 cm I have talked to some experienced breeders in the states and Canada and they say that most of their cyriocosmus breed like bunnies

I'm going to try breeding them when they mature
The elegans actually mature at about 10-12 months!!

Oh cool, I did wonder if they were dwarf as they look really small but not sling like if that makes sense. I have a Cyclosternum fasciatum, that's a dwarf and quite similar.

Definitely let me know if you do manage to breed them, good luck.

Yeah, they get their colors/patterns extremely early!

I will let the whole world know if/when I manage to breed them!

Forgot to mention they are very fast and are ferocious eaters

My sun beetles have finally began to hatch from their cocoons



It went to town on the beetlejelly!

Aw bless it

Looks like crawling candy

Nom nom I gonna eat it lol

Haha, yeah I gotta get myself a good camera soon. The colors are so much nicer in reality

I'm back from vacation in Denmark now and got some pretty cool stuff with me home. Sorry no pictures =( (Too lazy today).

2x 7 cm theraphosa blondi.
1x cyriocosmus elegans mature female around 4 cm ^^
2x adult giant train millipedes
1x feathertail centipede
6x platymeris sp "Mombo"

and i think 8 terrariums

Will update with pictures when i get the chance

Oh! Also i got my male swammerdami who was sent september 16th. It arrived yesterday in very surprisingly great shape! Mad like motherF'er
Will try to mate the swammerdamis next week

EDIT: Forgot to mention the gravid O. glabifrons and H. laoticus I got from miska! Great guy to deal with and he's got a lot of cool scorps

Found the O. glabifrons munching on something that looked like a mantis ootheca, but with scorplings... Think they were all dead and there were like 50+ of them.. This sucks. What a bitch........

That sucks

Ffs soo annoying when things like this happen

Scorpeace, for how much did you find the blondis? I can't find any for a decent price locally (80 euros for a 2cm sling)

Yea, i'm looking into getting a T. blondi too if i get the chance in the spring time.

Yeah bex and anna, it really sucks I was SO looking forward to getting scorp babies and then this happens.. Really bummed me out

Chrome and dolby-
T blondi's are very hard to guess yes. I got the two last ones a buddy of mine had. He lives in Denmark and have bred t blondi a couple of times. They get sold out SO quick. I got a pretty good deal too, a little under 95 euros for both, thats like 82 GBP. They had both just molted and their old molts were like 6 cm in legspan

Are they really that difficult to breed, or just their size keeps the prices up?

Theyr'e hard to breed and there are restrictions on wildcatching them.

EDIT: Also they give birth to quite few slings. They are very big tho

I was feeding my critters today and randomly checked my H. swammerdami's cave with a UV light. There I saw around 18 2i glowing scorplings running around!

I guess some of them have been eaten by the other babies because I havent fed the mom in about 2 weeks

I picked out 13 scorplings for individual containers and the rest ran far into their cave so I couldnt get them.

I didn't even know she was gravid
AWESOME!

Congratulations!
