Pinchy! Empty Pinchy!

Post by Tan Sat Nov 20, 2010 4:16 am

I picked up a couple of things last night and was given this little guy. Hes a little over an inch long and came out guns blazing when I was putting him into his home lol. He's very cute and my first Scorpion so loads of learning to do. I'm told he's a forest scorpion, maybe someone could confirm for me. This is all new to me so just watching him walk around is fantastic. So heres a few pics of Pinchy lol

Very nice Tan, although I have to admit I have a bit of a fear of scorpions and have done since childhood.

Best bet is to pop them into an empty cricket tub, or any clear bottom container, as the comb like pectines on the undersides are normally larger with longer fringes on them than in the females with most species.....

He's only a baby Buddy and I thought nice and well fed based on his size, hes just over an inch long. Can someone point me in the direction of a decent Scorpion caresheet?

Thank you my dear. I was given this little guy so am really only learning now, not ideal I know but the first thing I noticed on that sheet was Asian Forest Scorpions are good for the beginner that wants to try something more aggressive than an Emperor Scorpion lol oh just my luck.
