I inherited my fren's pet scorpion 2 days ago.



Can anybody identify da species and whether its male or female? And it eats about 1 cricket evy 2-3 days. Is this fine? Its size is about 3.5 inches.

Its a Heterometrus Sp aka the Asian Forest Scorpion
Wats the red mark on its head?
Btw u need2 change the bedding, dun use wood shaving (Or was it some kind of moss ?_?)
They from tropical rain forest so u need2 provide humid environment
Pls read up the 1st page for basic information (Tat's including hw2 sex it)

is that marking a red paint or was it my eyes?

obviously look like a spinifer,
but as old time would say,

post the granulation- near the head for accurate ID.

Oh no, my junceus is eating
Guess its nt in premolt yet

If my not mistaken, the red paint is to "Blind" it thus making it "tamer"

My gf bit me and I'm getting convulsions now.

That is where the median eyes are located on the carapace of a scorpion. These eyes can't really focus on objects and don't function much to perceive sight. These pair of eyes are sensitive to light, and come in handy for scorpions especially when avian predators swoop in/hover above them. The 'shadow' of the the predator is sensed by the median eyes and the scorpion will go into fight/flee mode.

If it is paint. Then its cruel.

Hoho. i dont do that sorta thing. i was told by a pet shop long ago. cant remember which one. but it was in penang. waaaaaaaaaaay before i started keeping them. lol...

I'm not saying you did it la.

Man want to get some photo of me new collecton.. but have to wait for me cam to be return back... have to wait then....

Damm, drooling over this sp

Centruroides Margaritatus Bicolor Morph


Photo from: http://media.photobucket.com/image/Centrur...3inchscorp1.jpg

NICE! Hope to get some of these guys soon

I had one before Ryo. Overdid the moisture and it died.

Sold to me as a 2nd instar C. margaritatus bicolor


The word bicolor, in its name was an addition to leverage it's 'value' among hobbyists. Some claim this as a marketing scam, like many other scams in the exotic pets hobby. The true bicolor among centruroides is Centruroides bicolor, pictured and detailed here > C.bicolor

This particular species has either been in the collections of supersecret agents in the hobby, or is yet to be within the collections of any international hobbyists. It's like the cream of ganja.

Sweet things, but too bad
Din know tat the bicolor word could be a scam but i found a seller, the price seems reasonable for me
C.Bicolor are awesome too!

The scam that finally got absorbed into the hobby and accepted as a latin name. I could provide links if you need.

If the price is reasonable. Then apa lagi? Don't think twice. Buy!

Lol, i ady email him, waiting for reply
Link pl0x!

Won't show for where the source of the name came from as it will jeopardise the person involved directly in these trades. But here are some well worthy discussions you may want to look at.

Thx for the link, it helps alot in ID-ing C.marg and C.bicolor
