hehe I had a couple of Black Rock scorps, that was until the cat stuck its paw in through the flyscreen and flicked one out somewhere into the bedroom. It wasn't until the next day that my wife discovered it under a shirt in my 5yr old daughters room :lol: (after that the scorpions had to find a new residence to reside in! :lol....but a very healthy looking one you have there I would have thought that was the female??? But I'm no expert

Nice

Very healthy and fat!

Looks like U manicatus. Theyre easy to sex as adults, the males have obviously longer pectines and arent as stocky as the females.

 

[hodges]

ah thanks very much for that
i didnt no what species they were
so what 1 do u think is a female and male ?
thanks

scorps

Couldnt say from the pics mate, id suggest manicatus because of the fairly stumpy chelae. Have you get a scanner? Chuck them on with a sheet of paper over them if you do and e-mail it to the e-mail addy in my signature.

Cheers

They do need heat a heat lamp on cooler days and all scorpions are venomous.. a little girl died a few years ago from a scorpion sting in australia, be careful with them.
