*gives Balthasar life*

whoa, you sure have lots of scorps..

Can anyone please identify what species this is?



It's WC adult..about 4-4.5 inch body length
I think it's Heterometrus Spinifer

Looks more like a H.longimanus...
Where u got it ? and how much....

Why did u say it looks like an H.longimanus?
Its an WC adult

Coz tats the most common species circulating the market right now...big and cheap.
Where are u from anyway...

The family Heterometrus is very complicated when it comes to ID

Well,I got it from Penang Hill..

Anyway..Thanks

Erm wanna know wats the color...greenish, brownish or jet black when shined with bright light ?

I got a picture with flash
It's jet-black

Longimanus tend to have a greenish shine if u shine light on it. So urs could be a spinifer though. Are u from penang ?
U bought that guy or u caught tat guy ?
Malaysia have a few species of Heterometrus spp.
spinifers tend to be more prevalent up north and some sporadic pockets here and there.
But seriously urs look longimanus like...i could be wrong.

My Heterometrus petersii birthed...sad part is that its with my friend

And i didn't manage to get my hands on the Parabuthus mossambicensis swt
but i did managed to get my hands on 3 parabuthus villosus though

Yes,I'm from Penang..
and for the 3rd time I said.. it's WC (wild-caught)
No greenish colour tho

WC means wild caught...it could also be that you bought a WC scorp...
that is wat i meant ler...
Mine are also WC but its not caught by me
Need to see the granulation on the metasoma...but since u r up north, i wud guess its a spin

oo..oic
I got another scorp..it's WC by me
I'll upload a pic soon
Its black..the claws is not as big as the hetrometrues species and the tip of the stinger is white
It hide most of the time..so hard to get a pic of it,but I'll try

Still no pix ar ?

Sry ah mate..hard to get pic of this fella,I dont like flash picture....tommorrow I'll dig it out and snap:)

How often you feed them? And how many cricket per meal?

leetplayer, from what i see... it looks very much like a h. longimanus

how often ar, about 4 or 5 days lo,
since last time they keep on eating,
once give about 5 criks

by the way, ask something,
how to see if the scorp is pregnant ah...
coz i been monitoring,
last time use to be the male on that hide inside the wood log,
but then this time is the female pula hide,
male one is like guarding outside like that...
