Not The People That Dont Know The Scientific Name

 

[JSN]

... Atleast if people are gonna use common names try not to make it so general such as gold scorpion, texas scorpion, rock scorpion, etc. It's always best to learn scientific names as people will know exactly what scorpion you are talking about.

I agree, but when this happens, I think we should do our best to try to figure what scorpion they are talking about, them help them with their problem or question, rather than going on about it...

 

[ynot]

so what is the actual name for my scorpion? so i can ask for help in the future and make it easyer.

thanks for all the help everyone gave me.

 

[Ryan C.]

Almost positive its a Hadogenes troglodytes.

 

[JungleGuts]

enough about the anti-common name mumbo jumbo, yes we should be using scientific names but some people dont care about em' and are asking us to help em' out with their scorpions...so we must try the best we can with the names they give us, unless ofcourse they have a picture or something, then we would automatically recognize it...its just really starting to bug me how people focus on that rather than helping people out...when he said "rock" scorpion, I assumed flat rock/hadodenes...his picture confirmed it, there ya go...

sorry for ranting, just had to get this off my chest...

so does it hurt to at least ask for a scientific name?? i dont think it does myself

I don't think it hurts to ask... but if someone has already asked do we need a couple more people asking as well? for that matter sometimes people just don't know the scientific name and can only go by what they are told is the common name.

I just relized that you're from Sydney, Australia. So, unless this scorpion was illegally imported, it can't be a Hadogenes. It might be a Liocheles, but it looks way too much like a Hadogenes.

no, but if someone doesnt know the scientific name, then should we attack them rather then focus on answering their question?...your reply had no real point to it...

It looks very similar to Liocheles, and my logic is pointing to it being a member of this genus, first ynot is from Australia, which really narrows down the field of possible scorps.

Also The pic ynot was pointing us to "looks like" his scorp, but it isn't. It isn't his pic. The pic might be a Hadogenes, but all this tells us is that his scorp looks like a Hadogenes.
However, Liocheles are similar in appearance to Hadogenes, and I admit I couldn't tell the difference from a single pic, so it could be a Liocheles.
There is an off chance it could be a Hadogenes, but it would probably be the situation H. cyaneus mentioned

Back on topic- How long have you had it and how long has it not been eating?

Hehe, didn't notice that.

ok i just did some reserch and the name of it is Urodacus Manicatus or black rock scorpion ok ive had it for a 5days now and it ate on the 1st day and hasnt eaten since.

 

[Crono]

Give it about a week, then try feeding it again. Scorps don't need to eat that much.
Mine get fed once a week when I get around to buying crickets, so about 7-10 days, and even then they don't always eat.
Hope this helps
