sick scorpion??

[mattyj]

hey guys ive noticed under a uv blacklite my scorpion has small dark patches all over its body...they kinda look like dirt patches .. heres a picture here showing where the patches are , what could this be? ( sorry i could take a real picure they cant be seen in a photo

ive also noticed a slight split down the middle of her mid section...is this normal for scorpions

It's hard to tell without a photo - but seems normal to me.

 

[hornet]

can you please get us a photo os this "split" has it been dropped? is there any fluid oozing out? the dots look normal to me

 

[mattyj]

after looking at you scorp hornet the split looking thing down them middle of the scorp seems normal..considering your scorpions seems to have it..tanx neway

 

[hornet]

all looks good, female urodacus manicatus, if your interested in a boy i got a couple here

 

[mattyj]

she starting to move really slowly now..not as fast as she used to

hehe i really like the lychas species..i cant seem to find them newhere

how many u manicatus males do you have..i have family members heaps interestd n them

 

[hornet]

i only have 2 males and i need 1 for myself, lychas are great but raising young is so hard so you need to start with adults but probably the best lookin aussie scorp.

 

[mattyj]

i heard you could get isometriod species in aus...is this true?

 

[hornet]

been looking for 3-4 years for Isometroides, here is my fave http://www.thedailylink.com/thespiralburrow/index.html they are found in central qld. no idea what they are like in captivity tho

 

[mattyj]

they look really nice though..that was one of the 1st scorps i wanted to get..then i found out that theyre not in nsw

 

[hornet]

for now i shall concentrate on urodacus sp, anyone got elongatus?
