Anyone know this species?

Looking to get a couple Tityus Magnimanus as I'm quite fond of my Brazilian yellows which are tityus as well. I'm wondering if this species is partho as well like the yellows.

Help with Asian Forest Scorpion

Hi guys, I received some tarantulas and scorpions by post (all were packed well and kept warm for the journey).

When received, one of the scorpions seemed to be 'stuck' grabbing on the tissue it was packed with. I removed the tissue after a day and left him settle.

When checking him again, his legs seem stuck and 'crippled'. He's been like this for over a week now. There is some movement, as a reaction when I touch him. I'm trying to keep him hydrated by using a brush dipped in room temperature water.

Does anyone know what might be going on here please?

Thanks to all in advance!

Here's a video.

40 gal tank for desert hairy

Hi all, I just purchased a 40 gal tank for my desert hairy to upgrade from her/his 10 gal that I plan to build over the next month or so. It explores a lot and I felt like it was limited with the current amount of space. I want to do something more bioactive with lil bugs and sw us native plants as well. Any suggestions for building / maintaining a tank that size would be greatly appreciated. Also wondering what other species besides blue feigning death beetles would coexist well. Thanks!

Are these mites ?

I just bought this AFS. I think these are mites. I have reptiles, tarantulas and other animals does it spread to them? What can I do to get rid of mites?

Have the Queen ever played with the Scorpions? And in case there is any video of Freddie Mercury with Klaus Meine?

Feeding Discoids

I have a small Florida Bark Scorpion, usally I’ve been getting bugs outside about twice a week for them but it’s winter and the bugs are going away now.

Does anyone have any experience feeding them Discoids?

Should I be adding any supplements to his meals? I know with reptiles people give the crickets calcium dust. Does my scorpion need that?

Joined this sub to remove my fear of scorpions

Please share interesting facts, pictures, anything about scorpions! I’m trying to train myself to stop being afraid of them and I find that learning and absorbing knowledge about things that I’m afraid of tends to help.

Finding scorpions in the Everglades

I will be deep in the everglades for two days and hope to see scorpions in the wild for the first time. Does any one have suggestions on how to find scorpions or things to look out for that indicate a scorpion could be near?

How does this look for my AFS?

He was in a 10-gallon before but I had trouble finding him and he wouldn't eat so now he's in an 8x8x8 cube and it works very well because he now burrows against the side so I can actually see him. He is also not particularly large (about 10 cm total)

Weird behavior

My Texas Bark scorpion has been a mobile little guy ever since I got him about 4 months ago, coming out every night and roaming his enclosure. The last two days he has been out in the open just sitting completely still. Could this be him attempting to molt?

Missing Pectines

I was sexing my scorpion and I noticed half of his pectines are missing. I imagine they'll grow back when he molts, but what should I do until then? Also he isn't eating. I'm trying to feed him superworms, it's been 20 days since he's eaten. I can't get a good picture of it but one side has pectines and another doesn't.

Hibernation

This cute little scorpion unintentionally travel with me from the south of France to Switzerland, hidden in my sleeping bag. Since, he lives in a vivarium with sand, rocks and branches and a bit of water for humidity. Every week, we give it a live spider (there are plenty in and around the building) that it ambushes and stings. My son is passionate about arthropods and having the privilege of taking care and observing the scorpion is awesome.

Here is my question: does it need to hibernate? Should we move his “house” to a colder area for the winter? Or reduce the amount of food it gets?

Thank you for your responses
