Like most buthids. Separation is the wisest option at early instars.

A gravid Hottentotta caboverdensis.


Not a gravid Scorpio maurus.

They are now making counterfeit condoms in China. Even brands like Durex and Six Sense are not safe from being duped.

Happy Sunday.

Greetings faggots.

Err.. Lychas sp.?

Another interesting Lychas - courtesy of Jan Rein.


Best to keep 'em seperated, jay.

I'd go for the obvious answer first, Jay. Emperors are not as commonly found locally as they are abroad. We have very limited numbers coming and going. The possibility of squabbles cropping up and ending in loss of limbs of lives is something I'd personally want to avoid, despite the similar requirements.

I give up!

Your good reading material will have to be shot down this time Ryo. Lol. This one is something new. I've gotten in touch with the owner of that pic. Let's see if a proper ID is on its way.

You're not looking for a building. Take it easy..

What are the scorpions in the pics there Lester? These really caught my eyes.

I'm not sure if you got the ID right there. Fuscus have a darker shade. These are something else altogether Lester.

I have no idea. Lol.

Anyhow, it's difficult to award certitude to the pic he sent you being the same as what you received bro. Perhaps you got more than what you paid for.

Recycle reduce reuse.

Wild guess. Female.

Good luck.

Palamneus fulvipes = Heterometrus fulvipes. Palamneus has had it's name 'refurbished' in the taxos. The current valid name is H. fulvipes. H. fulvipes however, is not a native species to Malaysia. It hails from the land of all great Heterometrus-es, India. We're looking at a classic example of how names are given for namesake.

Mungkin mereka lapar. A hungry tummy = an angry Pammie. And with so many neighbours in their vicinity, the stress levels must be quite high. And that's perhaps another reason for them being so high strung. I'm just speculating, don't put your last dime on this. Lol.

The pics make your C.marg look female. But they're not mature yet. Bang on one or two more moults before attempting breeding, Ryo.

A 6th instar heiress would look more robust than the ones seen in the pic. Your scorpion looks more like a 5th instar Ryo.

Bugs are often lumped into batches of instars ranging from X to Z. Even though they come from the same brood, some moult faster than the others. Confusion in instars are quite common especially during the first few moults when size difference before and after moults are pretty much negligible in underfed youngs. I've also been sold scorpions like that - underfed, undersized, undercount and even deformed scorpions - by a certain Philippino. I'm not saying that your seller did it deliberately though. He's a genuine and good guy.
