my scorpions

Hello
I have 2 scorpions for now
Heterometrus Spinifer
I think it is male, but i am not so sure
It is about 10 cm long
I have a small problem with it, it doesn't want to eat for 2-3 weeks for now, before that, he ate every sunday. I got him a month ago. What can be problem?


Rhopalurus Junceus
It is unsexed
2-3 cm long
How can i provide water for it?

Nice scorpions. R. junceus is a bark scorpion, so it should have a vertical piece of bark in it's tank. You can offer water by using a small plastic water bottle cap as a water dish.

Also, you may want to look at this general caresheet by GS: General Bark Scorpion Caresheet by GS.

thanks, i will give him a bark

but, still have problem with h. spinifer, he doesn't want to eat :S

Not eating is normal behavior. Don't worry about it, scorpions will sometimes go months without food. (My emp went over six months without food once.) Just offer food once a week or so.

my newest scorpion, h. petersii 0.0.1




On the left side is h. spinifer (bigger), right side h. petersii (smaller)

when i put them together, they were very interested for each other. after a few seconds it looked like they want to mate, they crossed chellas for a few seconds

edit:
i am not 100% sure if it is h. spinifer :S

The one I first thought was a H. spinifer is in fact a H. petersii. Sorry about the incorrect identification.
One of the best ways to tell the difference between the two species is the internal tubercle on the patella. There is a discussion on this on your Unknown Heterometrus thread.

so, that means, i dont have spinifer at all?
both are perersii?

Yes, that is correct.

im so lucky now
if second scorpion is a female, i will be happiest man in the world
i will post pics in "unknown heterometrus"therad, so you or some one else can sex it

Sounds good.
