7i Female Parabuthus schlechteri

Awesome that's a way cool Parabuthus. I've never seen one.

And Uroplectes cf schlechteri molted to 5i:

Some more pics to share with you guys.

Huge female O.pallipes, round about 13cm:



Female Uroplectes carinatus:



Male U. cf carinatus:



And one of the best looking scorps imo, Male U. cf schlechteri:

Those O pallipes look awesome. Are they like other Opistophthalmus and rarely seen out of their burrows?

Thanks man. I pretty much see these guys outside their burrows every day at dusk, they are also very active so they are much different than O.wahlbergii and O.glabrifrons which tend to stay in their burrows most of the time. The males especially will sit outside their burrows for a few hours at a time.

Good to know thanks. Never owned this species because of their reputation of being pet holes. Will keep an eye out for this one

Well done shadowfoot!
I never new the scorpion trade was so good developed...WOW
What is the genaral lifespan of parabuthus? 

Regards
Gert

Thanks Gert.
For Parabuthus a lifespan of anything from 4-5 years is the norm from what I have seen.

Hottentotta polystictus mating, Female nr.2:

Good luck!!! Nice little setup there

 
Are these females also eating the males after mating?

Thanks guys
Gert, no these two will now share the same area for the next two or three days just to make sure the female has been mated successfully. Hottentotta are very communal when they are adults from what I have seen.

This is really something new to me...i always thought all  species are eating the males after mating 

Awesome collection!

Any updates on this thread, shadowfoot?

I have some more photos to share. I will put them up when I'm back from vacation

Nice! Will be waiting for the pictures man..

anyhoo, your polystictus pair looks great! Wish I could buy some from you when the female pops..
