is it hard to breed the scorpians? O and beutiful pics!:)

It depends on the species. Some are pretty easy to keep while others are more difficult

The bite of most of the Scolopendra species is considered dangerous isn't it?

Painful but not neccessarily dangerous

Very cool pics, I always thought it was interesting how scorpions carry their babies. It would be cool to see it in your own collection.

Its alot of fun breeding scorpions. Some species are fairly challenging while others seem more difficult to kill than keep alive.

Scolopendra subspinipes. What exactly is this? it is very interestinghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

Killer pics!

I'm not sure if I should aww or eww. :rolleyes: But I can definitely agree they are very cool pics! :D

do they feed their young while carrying them? or do they just sorta hang around on top?

Scorpions typically do not feed their young while they carry them. The young will stay on their back until about 2nd instar and then they will leave and being feeding on their own.

Congrats on the pede eggs..good luck with them!

That is a lot of Centruroides margaritatus, any idea how many she had?

Did you breed the T. serratus, or did the female produce by herself? If i remember correctly that's a paranethgenotic (spelling way off) sp, right?

LOL Christie! Well as much as many folks think snakes are ugly, evil critters and I try to show them different...I'm trying to expand my own limits of what is interesting. Bugs, spiders, scorpions...oh my! (but hey I'm trying folks! LOL)


Very lovely pictures Brian. I'm sure you're very pleased with the breedings and it must be a very wonderful thing to watch the process. Congrats on your many new babies.

Yeah yeah some people think snakes are scary looking etc etc, but pictures of inverts like that will ALWAYS send shivvers up my spine.....!

gorgeous shots!!! reminds me of my blue crayfish... the mama carries her babies around all over her until they decide to jump off and be free LOL then i have to remove her so she doesn't eat them.
