It's a heterometrus spinifer. =)

thanks shadowcaster..
that scorps, it's body full with soil..
very dirty..
anyone can suggest me..
how to remove that dirty..?
need to brush it?
thanks..

Aiya...just leave it alone...it's its nature to burrow..naturally it will be dirty.

Erm cleaning a spinifer ? easy only la...they are very hygiene concious bugs i must say. If u observe them, they like to keep themself clean. Just add a deep water dish with a generous amount of water and the lil guy will bathe himself till they actually shine...serious...

My Leiurus quinquestriatus juz molted, looks like 7th instar lor...nice color...lol
P.transvaalicus going to 7th instar

thanks for your suggestion frenz..
but a bit worried if my first sp 'lemas'..

what type of this scorp?
very fat loh..

dont put the water so deep la...then wont lemas.
and that scorpion is a Hadogenes paucidens.

xtreme_paranoid, thats a beautiful h.spinifer adult specimen. as what balthasar says, provide a small wading pool and it'll take a bath

They are not as dumb as insects though.
Juz add a small rock or some gravel in the dish then if u r still worried. At tat size, i dun think it will ever drown unless it wants to commit suicide lor

thanks everyone..
that is my first scorp..
hope long life..

Just keep ur setup simple and convenient...dun overdo it or it could turn hazardous to ur scorp.

Oh yar, the pix of ur scorp is a H.paucidens as mentioned by shadowcastor...

Ok here is some pix of my kids...

Saja throw some eye candies inside
Must really love the tail of the Androctonus mauritanicus. So i have taken the liberty to post a bigger pix of my lil gal's beautiful tail....
Really gorgeous...i feel tat it looks bigger compared size to size to an australis' tail...
She still a kid though...lol


The squarish tail is really a work of art to admire

you buy it?
how much ha?

Forgot the price dy, shud be around 60-80 ringgit.Bought 5 but left 2 only...she was with me since she was bout 1cm long only. Now oso not that big...7th instar only, 1 more moult before she is a young lady lor
Androctonus mauritanicus dun grow that big in size but their tail is very impressive.

your 'pale' LQ looks stunning~

hei i think it looksmore like a H longimanus . and a male speciment i don think its a spinifer at all you mid sending me a email of a top view pic to scorpfanatic@yahoo.com? if its a longimanus its will easily worth few times more then jus a spinifer.

my scorp not h spinifer?
it is longimanus..?
i already google..
h longimatus look like this..



my scorp like this..









it is true mine is h longimanus?

actually im already pretty sure by the ration of teh lenght of teh claws to the body accoring the Heterometrus papers i jus need to comfirm that ist male ( because only males have longer claws in h longimanus. and also teh gradualtion on teh head. need a clean close up pic of teh head.

h longimanus is native in malaysia. and its kindly hared to find in teh hobby, not common. and i persona;;ly is finding them. that y i wana help you find out if it indeed is and where was it caught

walton(or anyone),

do you have any documents/info/links on how to differentiate heterometrus species? because they all virtually look the same to me, except for some minor details. appreciate it, thanks.

here i found it..
but i still cannot identify my scorp..
