LQ popping

So got a great shot of her embryos, so the father did his work before he got killed RIP. I'll update this thread when She pops, she is a big girl with regards to LQs so i'm hoping it's a huge brood to distribute to better get this species into the canadian hobby.

She kill him after mating?

Nope, about a month after mating I just found them both basking and he was kinda under and beside her on the sand beside the basking flat rock laying dead. Just assumed she killed him since he ate a big cricket a few days before and wasn't slowing down at all.

Strange. I once had a scorpion die holding a half eaten cricket to it's mouth. That was years ago, and it has never happened again. Any how, congrats on the little embryos you have cooking. I think I need some more LQ's. I never was much interested in them, but got one on a whim recently. It has been one of the most active and interesting scorpions I've had in a long time. Needless to say it has grown on me.

I know, you never realize how awesome they are until you actually get one, they pretty much never refuse food.

Yes. I could never understand what the draw was other than the fact that "it's a Death Stalker dude...", but now that I've kept one I can see why. The only scorpion that I see more is my Hadrurus, and it just basks. The LQ pops out when I walk past, darts over the the glass and darts back into it's retreat. This happens nearly every time I walk past. It's quite entertaining. It seems to be very curious.

The big girl just basks in the heat, pretty much incubating and I just hand her food and she calmly just grabs it and slowly stabs her telson into it and nomnoms haha. Before she was pregnant she did the darting too.

I wish my bicolors would come out to bask. I've seen them maybe four or five times since they dug burrows.

Congratulations Chrome!!!

cant wait til i can get an Lq,they sound very interesting.

these c.sculpts i have waiting for you Street are always out on top of the bark in their deli cups.its dim where i keep em but they dont really run away even in the light,its not until im in the cup or a fff falls on em when i pour some in(hopping bassads!).

doubt theyll be as entertaining as a curious Lq.

hmmm a scorpion childs book.
"Curious Leirurus"

She still eats when gravid? That should mean she has some time left to incubate the young. Nevertheless, pretty much a sign of really being gravid too if they dont refuse a meal.

I wish you good luck on those!!
