Buthus occitanus

Guys whats the venom level of Buthus occitanus? Is it that potent like other buthids?

I cant seem to find one in the net.

Thanks guys

Depends from the geography that the scorpion is from.
The european specimens (Spain, Portugal and South of France) are painful but not too dangerous while the Northern african ones (Buthus o. tunetanus) have a much more potent venom.

I see. Thanks Dolby

Ill better ask where do the scorp originated from.

I like the more potent one

You already have A.australis and L.quinquestriatus in your list my friend. You should be saying..
"I'm looking for the more gorgeous looking ones.."

Opppssss sorry for that bro GS

My bad.

Anyway, do you guys have some care sheet for these spp.

Thanks guys

Just teasing you my friend

I do not have specific care sheet about them (maybe someone will help soon),
i just keep them in identical conditions as all my other desert specimens.

I didn't know you have B. occitanus too! Have raised any scorplings of this spp?
This is the only spp. I wasn't able get any specimen to molt to instar 3.

Yes from 2.instar to 5.instar.
Sometimes, the problem does not lies in you my friend, i believe you have done your homework and had things set correctly. Strange death occurs for no apparent reasons at times..

Ill make sure to follow that up bro GS

Thanks guys

I'd receiving one in 2 instars.

And I ll focus more on scorps from now on, how would I forget my first LOVE haha

True, but 10 in a row are a whole mistery..

Maybe a whole lot of coincidence bro

I still believe that either they were all not healthy (bad genetics?), or the european B. occitanus is extremely picky to raise.
