Hi guys

Yesterday my hottentotta caboverdensis poped. They are very cute.

This is late night picture so it is not sharp as it could be... I dont



She seemed restless the other day so I put in this stone "water bowl" and she went in and started poping... looks like she was searching for solid ground.

Congratz Wearelegion!

It's a great shot!

Interesting observation as well

Your pic is fine. Congrats!

Yes I knew she was close to pop them out but two days ago all night I was hearing scratching on the glass.... in the morning she still was trying to climp the glass. She ate a week ago, she was drinking also, temperature was fine. I changed the only thing I colud , provided clean solid surface.... it did the trick. I know now for my second H.C. that is also close to poping.

A good sized brood from one of my Euscorpius italicus. At least 24 young.



One of my other females won't be to far behind her by the looks of things.



Happy dayz

Congrats, Callum!
Awesome pics by the way.

Here is my H. swammerdami brood. (December 2011) There were a total of at least 25. Some were sold, i kept 12 and now there are 11. They have been going together for weeks without any fighting. I'm trying to raise them communally until they are grown, to see if they will stay "friends" all the way without separation.




Hope my emp and glabifrons will pop soon!

Nice pic, Scorpeace. What instar are they? 2nd?

Yes, second on the picture but they all molted like 2 days ago. All my h. cyaneus and h. swammerdami molted at the same time ^^

Lots of action here. Keep it up guys!

Scorpeace, Wearelegion, Callum Congratz!

Thx thx Where do you guys live? Im very interested in buying some scorpions someday soon. (Preferably communal or semi commual and not too poisonous)

If your keen on E. italicus, which are pretty communal as adults, I'm in the UK so posting them to Norway is no problem.

congratulation to you guys.

here is me peeking in trying to see the development. They are already molted and active.

Iurus kraepelini gave birth at some point yesterday A much bigger brood than my other 2 females have given me. I can count around 11 babies.

The size they are born at is amazing. Once they moult to 2i they can easily take medium sized crickets.




Happy dayz....

Great picture Callum. The mother must have been quiet relieved to get that brood out of her stomach .
I had the chance to get a few of those Iurus kraepelini a while back but passed it over. Now seeing your picture i regret it.

What sort of size is the mother Callum?

Thanks Den,

she's been huge for quite a while but then over the past few weeks lost quite a bit of her 'fatness' so I thought she may have aborted. Then this brood appeared lol. Mouth to aculeus she's around 7 - 8cm.

They're quite interesting in the fact that the young spend most of their time on the mothers back right through to 3i.

2i born earlier this year still on mums back. Very small brood but all are still doing well.



3i a couple of days after moulting, back on mum. This was the one survivor of a brood of 6. The other 5 died at 1i for an unknown reason.




There are still some adults available from bugzuk over here. He does ship abroad, however they're quite expensive. If a decent amount of this brood make it to 2i I'm happy to send you some over.

Damn those little guys are so cute

That sounds like a plan mate .. Let me know if it becomes actual and maybe we could do a swap of some kind if i have some non DWA scorps around at that time.

Awesome pics, Callum! Great looking scorps, congrats on the brood!

Great updates guys!

Interesting observation Callum.

They are definitely in "good size"

Really loving the natural lighting in your pictures. Clear and sharp subjects with nice bokeh!
