Hi guys ,

was searching on some informations on this scorpion - Orthochirus Scrobiculosus Negebensis when i came across a pic of a newly molted specimen.

tot i share it here for thoses that did not seen a newly molt Orthochirus Scrobiculosus Negebensis before ...



pic taken from AB - Tabor - a very experience keeper and breeder of scorpion.

somehow, no matter how many times i try to keep in my mind that this is a scorpion it still looks like a piece of coal with legs on it.

have to back of from the drugs i think.

Hi guys just came across to this Ads in Mudah.

Is that a dead scorpion in the ads?

hi hi ..

look pretty much like a dead one to me ..........

Confirm dead, legs curl in ady, stinger also cut ady...
RM58, i got 3 dead adult afs in my freezer

lol.. and see wut he wrote.. age range from 4-25 years... and confirm oso.. its dead..

hmmm ... RM58 * 3 = RM174 .. i dun think people wan to buy your dead H.spinifer for that price lor hahahaha
Lol.. personally i think the dead specimen is for photo shot only for his sale thread.

lol... good one ...

U dun get my joke, lester, nvm
Anw for the age part, kinda true wut, they do live up to 25years
Look at hadogenes sp, they took so darn long from 1instar to molt to 2instar

sorry sorry .... recently quite slow ... lol...

confirm dead and has been preserve with either formalin or alcohol. can see the discoloration on the joints due to immersion in such chemicals

Hoho Ryo,i never know its sting got chopped until I see your post.well,my first afs also got a missing sting and its from midvalley-pets wonderland.

all of them are the same scorpion..

ya.. I saw a few other pet shops selling with the sting cut off. this is sad

Quite common in pet shop, they are not aware that they wont live long with their tail clipped....
They can sell it easily by telling customer they wont sting because it stinger have been removed
What to do, most newbie wanted to start with adult specimen and we dont have any captive breed adult afs aside those from Alex and maybe a few other hobbyist but none are for sale

Ryo, your inbox is full.

Dear Rafiq, Ryo and Hyorin,

this is the AFS adoption centre which you have submitted the care of your dear forest scorps into my hands.

THis is how they are living



Something similar for each scorpion that I taken from all of you.


Some of their pics

Has Faith given birth yet Isaac?

Handsome betul those afs....
Very nice setup, love those ferns

Btw one of my balsasensis gave birth in communal enclosure with 5others tankmate just now
When open the lid, found 2 at the styrofoam background, a few on the substrate and one mati tersepit kat belakang background
Tried removing her but she ran behind the background and hide
After tired of waiting for her to come out i realize the background can be remove lol
5 babies tat climbed down was separated into a incubator, just wanted to try incubating 1instar and the others with the mom (Around 12 of them)
Post photo later or tomorrow

No bro. I gave her a crick 4 days ago. She ate it. Misting the tank every 2 days

hey, wanna ask something, what's is the different between :
Heterometrus Spinifer
Heterometrus Swammerdami
Heterometrus Madrapatensis

i google it, but then hardly find those that tell the different of it/
