parthogenesis and bisexual mating each have their own weakness and strengths.

i believe(this is not a confirm data,just a hypothesis) that pathogenesis species carry all the genes in them yet the genes are only activated when a certain condition or situation demand that particular genes characteristic. such as a scorpion that is introduce in a drier climate then it use too will cause the gene that are responsible for water retention to be activated in the next offspring brood. it may take a couple off broods or generations but i do believe this process is possible.

what is confirm is bisexual species will also display this trait of gene activations but not from a single mother but as a combination of genes from various partners and generations. it is a more difficult and long process but the effects of gene activation is more easily seen in bisexual species. hence the lovely genetic chart that Kar has provided us above is in use. for bisexual species it is possible to control certain traits that we need or want. but for pathogenesis species it is almost impossible and will happen naturally.

i hope i didn't add more confusion.

erk.. i really dont want to add to the confusion but isn't hottentotta hottentotta have been reclassified as hottentotta cabodevensis.

then how about the hottentotta hottentotta hottentotta?

ok picture time.just to cool of the most interesting discussion i have seen in scorp thread.

my newly accuired scorp.(my friend gave it to me). i cant say it is longi or spinifer. here is why:

on the left is the scorpion,on the right is a preserved spinifer. see how they resemble one another.



this is a side by side comparisson of the padipalps. again they look very similiar.

granulation pic

full body picture.

this is a wc. my friend saw it walking across the road while driving and caught it and gave it to me. so nay takers on the id.

longimanus i would have to saw my forst choice since they are normally found around my area.

spinifers i cannot say because is there any records of h.spinifer in sarawak natively.

on to my other scorpion thank you to Ryo. the c.gerthschi. very nice and very small.


male. long long tail.


female. fat,fat(gravid maybe)

how small are they?? both can fit in a single egg crate cell with room to spare. that is how small they are.

ok. happy reading and have a nice day.

moss + A.A = shock.gif

i thought AA are desert sp. maybe rideon put dry moss. so its like a tumbleweed.

going on vacation from scorp thread for sumtime. in search for sumthing that is hard to explain and picture lol.

take care and dont get tag.

just a teeny weeny update.

one of my LA just gave birth. the mother is doing well, feeding well.
the babies are tiiiiiiiiny(say it with a high pitch voice).

rideon u sak for ppictars. u got pictars

glad to see ur up and running ryo.

btw, the red claw could use some flood season feel.since it was feeling very dry for a long time.

a nice damp sub will do wonders.

i am currently involve in evil experiments with scorpions. especially forest types.

the data has been good so far. will share it when the test are done and my scorpions have finish suffering.

the location of the new jewel. it's about a few hundreds kilometer from where i am lol. but thats a rough location.

hmmmmm. where is my money........i want to go find it.

any sponsors?? ehehehehe.

i cant tell u exactly but here is the coordinate

89.189712,0.000043

enjoy finding the scorp. it's very difficult to find it even with the coordinates.

i think its frost claw.
new sp. can be found native in fridge freezers.

very rare.

hahahah lester, i have killer spinifers and nipple pinching longimanus.
hahahaha

i am posting 1 longi to the exhibition. siap mau terima ini longimanus?

heh.

u should have a longi then.

1 month never go out, never eat,never walk around. just sleep in the burrow.

and u say 2 weeks is annoying.

ok abit more update on the stuff i will be sending for the exhibition.

2 longimanus
2 x 2i preservede spling
2 x 1i preservede spling
1 x preserved adult spinifer
1x preserved adult longimanus.

i think thats would add some spice to the event.

today is tuesday.

why u put i love monday on a tuesday.

well then it is confirm then that communals are faster growers then isolated splings.

while we can only speculate the reason why this happen it may be attributed to the fact of safety.

the splings feels they are safe with the mum and grows much faster without feeling stress which is the opposite of the isolated splings which have to fend for themselve thus making them grow slower then the communal splings.

but this is just my point of view. so dont believe it 100%.

it's just a hypothesis.

I'm bored so i am going to post pictures of sumthign not related to scorps at all.

i found this fellow today just now. dont know what sp. very docile. nice colour. confirm tree snake but dont know name.



any idea of the sp. snake thread is crazy for pythons so this little snake i dont think will make any news there like my last snake.

twin barred. i found a twin barred.

that is one of the most elusive snakes to find in malaysia i think.

i like the pectinal view of ur scorp lester. really nice big pectinals for such a small scorp.
