Hi all,

Thought I might post some of the Australian Scorpion species I keep. A couple of them are pretty uncommon and I'd love to see what you guys think.

Australian Lychas and Isometrus spp. are beautiful. That Isometrus sp. "Orange-tree" looks like Uroplectes otjimbinguensis, just a thought.

Thanks all :) Also for reference the "Orange tree scorpion" doesn't live on orange trees. It's just an arboreal species and orange :p
Rare as well. Research suggest less than 1000 in the wild and less than 40 in captivity.

I've got some Isometrus Maculatus and Isometrus melanodactylus coming on monday. Will add some pics of them as well.

Some great looking scorps you have down under. I especially like that Isometrus Melanodactylus..what a colour combination! .. Just a shame your country's export laws prohibit any kind of distribution to all us non Australians. Still, i guess that goes both ways eh. There's probably a lot of non endemic species you guys would like to get your hands on.
