Krunchy - Lots of Pics

G'day all. Today I got my male Urodacus elongatus in the mail from The Green Scorpion. Again, could not be happier with The Green Scorpion!! He came packaged well, looks very healthy and is just all round great.

I named him Krunchy and he will be Pinchy's boyfriend. Assuming she doesn't kill him and eat his body.. . Anyway, I got him out and handled him for a while (first time handling a big scorpion - weird!). He was just awesome, and I soon put him into his tank to explore.

Looking at the hands and the tail you can see why they're called elongatus!













Ate a cricket straight away!




Anyway sorry for so many pics, but I got snap happy! Hope you like him

Phil

No, he is inferior to both.
It goes a little like this:
Kelly (person) > Kelly (scorpion) > Krunchy > Phil.

I'd say he's a little big and expensive for a crab snack.

mindthesole, he definitly isn't menacing though. Placid as can be.

This guy came packaged with tissues and when I opened the tissues up to get photos he started walking around and I didn't want him to get away/fall off my desk so I just stuck my hand out in front of him and poked him on the bum and he crawled on. It's kinda weird cause they crawl with their claws extended, so I was paranoid he was gonna pinch me.

You can also pick them up by sliding your hand under their back end, or by gently picking up by the tail (not recommended apparenty)

Hahahaha Nat
