Tityus stigmurus 2i
Received two Tityus stigmurus 2i (molted twice) scorpions today from Thiscordia on Arachnoboards.com, very positive. They arrived in great condition, alive healthy and very active. They were shipped in a small vial together with moist packing material. This species is “Parthenogenetic“, meaning they can reproduce without a male, so cool. This species is from the Buthidae family, so they are “hot”, in other words very venomous and should never be handled. Extreme caution should be used at all times while feeding and maintaining there enclosure.

After attempting to feed a tokay gecko a B. dubia roach, the gecko didn’t want it. A little while later I noticed the roach had started to molt, so I grabbed my camera and started filming. So, if you have never seen a roach molt, as I hadn’t, heres your chance. The total process was about 15-20 minutes.

In the week, I had four tarantulas molt. I was able to sex two of them female via there Spermathecae from there exoskeleton. The four tarantulas range in size from 2″ – 4″+, all juveniles. Species include the following:
My scorpions as seen using a UV black light flashlight. Amazing how they glow. The following species are shown: 4i Centruroides sculpturatus F – Centruroides sculpturatus 2i Heterometrus spiniferis M – Pandinus imperator.
Pandinus imperator (Emperor Scorpion)
Scorpions fluoresce or glow under ultra-violate light so they are easy to find with the aid of a black light during the night. Nighttime scorpion hunting is great fun, but make sure you’re wearing high top boots and carry with you a long set tongs if you plan on capturing any scorpions. Scorpions can be very unpredictable and sting at anytime given the chance, so use caution while out scorpion hunting.
