I think I want another one (And an upcoming show)

so, everybody... i need to start posting on here more and i've got a new camera, so that should be happening
we've got the south east arachnid show on the 27th (i'm going and i'll more than likely be wearing the seas shirt. easy to spot)

so, i'm looking for something small and desert dwelling. any suggestions ?

Get back to facebook where you belong

yes, sir. no, sir. three bags full, sir
i've just realised that my photobucket link is dead *cries*
time for a scorpion photoshoot methinks
so, callum... any suggestions on something a bit "different" ?
i'm thinking Caroboctonus sp. (i'd google the right spelling, but i'm going for a bath and that's a priority)

I noticed you're from the Uk which makes all the really cool desert guys off your list. But Hadrurus are very fun scorpions. Although not little or all that exotic. They sure are nice.

Complete with dog hair and everything (Caraboctnus keyserlingi)

Bothriurus spp. are nice.

Bothriurus dumayi

Smeringus spp. are very cool. S. vachoni have been available recently (still not taken any pics of these guys) and S. mesaensis is one of the best looking scorpions IMO



Scorpio maurus?? (excuse the loose grit and pea gravel, it's what was in the tub it came in)



Then there's the Vaejovis/Hoffmannius spp. plus a few other North American species that are available from the usual places at the moment.

Unfortunately, the cool little desert Buthidae scorpions, like Orthochirus spp. etc. are off limits.

yeah, it sucks !
i'd really like a couple of bark scorpions and an Androctonus, but we all know that's not happening
that IS the biggest problem with living here... all of the species that shouldn't be "dangerous wild animals"

my likey all of those. callum, have you got any sort of idea of price that the likes of those Bothriurus dumayi and similar, would sell for ?

Also, the S.maurus (i take it that's not a guaranteed id by the question mark ) looks good with the gravel. it really puts the size in proportion. things like that make for nice bases for photos

I meant ''Scorpio maurus?'' as in, ''what about Scorpion maurus?''

B. dumayi ~£10 - £20. Have a look on Bugzuks table or some of the Euro guys at SEAS for Bothriurus spp.

nice one. thanks, callum
you never know and i'll get lucky and see some "other" scorpions at the show like last year
that was a fun morning
