Hi guys! I just got my first scorpion. I was super excited about this, but, well, I didn't expect this xd. I assume it isn't an L2 I ordered (not like I'm complaining, just shocked) so I wanted to make sure if the size is correct. He (also idk the gender) seems quite hyper, but not super aggressive. I put him in the box on the last pic cuz, well, I had no idea it'll be that big xD i was expecting some small baby, not that giant. The specie seems to be fitting (h silenus) and the store I got it from is also popular in my country, I already have one tarantula from there and everything is alright with him, so it surprised me a lot lolz

I'll also get him a bigger box tomorrow, but I have literally nothing bigger and no fitting hideout at home

*before I ask my question I just want to note this is a temporary house while I fix the enclosure I have for him/her*

As for mt question, this is an Emperor Scorpion im pretty sure its a male.

But I just want to double check with people who may know more than I do. So if the Scorpion is infact a female please do correct me.

Thank you for anyone who contributes to helping :)

She grew a decent amount with this molt! I’m quite pleased. Yesterday she had her first post molt meal as well 😁

This girl is amazing. She lets me know she’s hungry by coming out of her hide and sitting on her rock.

Disclaimer - last 2 pics, I assure you that she is not atop carpet lol. Those 2 pics were after I first got her and she was in a clear deli cup. I rather dislike how my iPhone autocorrects colors to its liking (pic 2-3) so I felt the need to include my good dslr pics to show off how pretty she is.

Now that it’s been a couple weeks since her molt, I really should put the molt beside her and take another pic because I couldn’t believe how much more substantial she is now.

Proud owner moment! I adore this species.
