Some dude from AB posted a video of one squirting venom.

So they actualy squirt it, not flick it.

YouTube - Parabuthus transvaalicus venom spray

how much are you feeding and how often? that thing is way overweight!!

It looks preggo!
Also, that squirting is crazy cool. It looks like that pinching may hurt though. :O

Neat scorpion, I love the little buggers.

It's going to molt guys.
Not pregnant or overweight. :)

I had 3 siblings and one of them molted like 5 months ago.

For some reason its siblings are still fat after many months.

Weird.

i have never had a premolt look like this.

What type of scorpion did you have?

I've seen WAY fatter scorpions.

0.1.6 B. jacksoni (female gravid)
0.0.4 B. gigas
3.4.0 P. imperator
1.3 P. cavimanus (female gravid)
1.1 H. arizonensis

and if they are fat after a molt, my bet is over feeding.
