Hey bud,
My T.stigmurus project is still ongoing but i'll share my simple setup and settings for my barks. It should work for most of the barks species in the hobby. Will let you know once the guide is prepared

My methods are just simple ones that works for me after much experimenting. 
It's my pleasure to share with fellow scorps fanatics.

Today is a fruitful day for me. 2 piece of good news to share:

1) This is one of the shortest gestation of a scorpion that i have experienced:

After 58 days of gestation, here comes the 1.instar Lychas mucronatus scorplings

2) Another good news is i have somehow figured the best combination i can achieve with my entry-level DSLR during an indoor photoshoot. Using an adjustable table lamp as my light source.

It's nothing new for the advance/expert shooters out there but as i'm still learning more things each time i shoot, i'm quite satisfied with the latest results after experimenting the different manual settings.
I'll keep you guys updated on another daylight shoot and when these little guys have molted to 2.instar!

Cheers,
GS

Congrats GS!

nice one!

Thanks for viewing guys & for sharing my excitment

just got my 2 L.mucronatus scorplings yesterday.... at 2i, these guys are really small and skittish.....

The babies just turned 2.instar. Took them only 3 days but i missed the chance to take daylight shots on the them.
I have a few other pairs mated about the time. I'll keep this thread updated.

@Sowhon
Congrats with your new additions bro
Skittish like how? Evasive?

skittish as in fast running/sprinting....adding that to its small size (2i), this is gonna be an interesting species...

Yep they are. As you know, they are fast grower, you will enjoy your new additions
