Deathstalker a few days after molt.

Deathstalker after Molt.

I wanted to get a fresh picture but I forgot my camera at work over the weekend and my phone doesn’t take a good shot when they’re this small. But my lq molted on Friday this was taken Monday night. UV light shows that it’s exo was almost hardened. I was telling Mako that I think these are hebreus subspecies based on coloration what do you guys think?

LQ 3 days after molt.

Haven't had the pleasure of keeping this species, but it looks great!!

Looking good man! My little sausages are so plump right now. Heatpad is engaged and keepin em nice and warm.

L. q. hebraeus look so much nicer then typical LQs

I like them both equally it's nice to see them a slightly different coloration.

Not sayin I dont like typical LQs. Just sayin the hebraeus morph looks nicer.

You know I think it's technically a sub-species not a morph.

Interesting. What leads you to believe that?

Umm…literature LOL. Instead of saying I believe I should have said I know they are subspecies. I don’t know how to distinguish them though because the only sure way I know of is to know the location of where the specimen was collected. LQ is African I believe and LQH is asian. Colorations can vary in both but from what I’ve read LQH tends to be darker

lol, you always have a smart guy comment for me dont ya.

The scorplings look totally different as well. Who knows, either way they are amazing and beautiful.

Leiurus jordanensis would be an amazing piece to a collection.

Dude, Keith. Leirus jordanensis is fricken beautiful.

Yeah the semi-newly discovered blackdeath stalker!!! I think this was discovered in about 2003 ish

Blackdeath stalker

I am in love.

I'm curious if anyone in the hobby has kept this species. It would be good to at least get some pictures.

Patrick, check out Tityus cambridgei if you havent seen it.

I would trade my entire collection for a Leiurus jordanensis.

Eddy I have 5 female at 4i and only 1 male we should trade a few young scorps to diversify our genetics to ensure healthy CB specimen. Or at least trade off males every other year.

Keith, I have seen Tityus cambridgei. Probably my favorite from the genus.

I too would trade my entire collection for one of those. But unfortunately, my only bargaining chip right now is P. imperator's.

Lol!

If I could only collect one species of scorpion it would be Tityus cambridgei. The males are stunning.

Yeah, their pedipalps are like a mile long.

That would be smart, unfortunately this is my only specimen atm.

Also Keith, this has been confirmed to be L.qq not L.qh just a darker morph!

Nice, How did you confirm it?

Video 2.0 is up.

Michael Misch confirmed it he has enough experience with scorpion from Afghanistan to take his word on it. Apparently a way to determine, because colors can vary, is the 5th segment. Black segment is LQQ while LQH has a grey (not as deep black) segment.

Sweet. Good to know! So I guess they are a locality morph?
