Hey guys, help me to double check on my LQ's sex. I believe it's a female.
Those red stuff are sand...

isn't that a leiurus quinquestriatus quinquestriatus?

pic not very clear..but nonetheless, it's very nice indeed! is it a male?

Nice gracilis pic, balthasar. Just wondering, how much does your uroplectes pilosus cost?

why? coz i dont know the price? Lol. It's a very beautiful scorp that i might consider to purchase in the future.

Oh...it's very small ? Oh well...
Anyway, i've been trying to feed my LQ mealworms but all it does is run away from it all the time. BUT tonite, it finally had its "first blood".

Find more scorp hobbyists la then we have gathering in somewhere central like subang or something.
Other than that, klang ppl have our own regular meetings lor. See, problem solved.

p. imperators are much harder to get here if compared to h. spinifers. planning to get one?

Get some spinifers. They're more active in general due to their aggressiveness (well, mine are super active anyway ). And they're widely available locally.

Yes you can mix them together in a single tank. But they need their personal space and places to hide (rocks maybe). Although in most cases they can cohabit peacefully, there's still a risk that they will fight for territory...so in the end it's up to you.

the only case that they will eat each other is if they're not well fed. It's still a gamble mixing 2 different species together because it's just not natural. Which is why it's still up to you. Good luck and welcome to the hobby.

Go do some research and compare pictures...there are so many on the net. After you've researched enough, it's pretty easy to distinguish them by just looking at their features.
Here's a quite obvious answer to your question (look at the claws):
Difference between imperator and spinifer

Cheers.

definitely an AFS.

how do u define "the body looks like AES"? Both AFS and AES have almost identical body shapes and coloration. From that picture's angle, it's also difficult to see the how the telson looks like. The safest and most obvious are the claws or "pincers" of course.

Besides that, with such a price it's safe to say that it's an AFS. Emperors don't come cheap around here.

Where to find these kinds of enclosures (with the wire mesh cover + a lock)? And how much do they cost?

All i see in petshops are those fish tanks or regular plastic containers.

Balthasar, i don't like the word "clan". Club/Community sounds nicer. Lol. Already pm u.

just a regular gathering la..no need leader leader all...until the club grows bigger..then we shall plan a committee structure or something. just my 2 cents.

nice picture draken. but your substrate + scorp black combo is totally.....black! lolz...quite hard to see. The scorplings look great though. Hope all of em get to 2nd instar.

Poor exilicauda (i think)

Mealworms can kill them too? i thought only crix do that. >.<
i gotta be careful from now on.
