scorpion molting, time-lapse

My first try, it's a little rough though. I have a little, old Coolpix camera. This scorpion(Hadogenes troglodytes) had been beaten up at the pet store, it's missing some feet. I considered it might not make it when I bought it but it's OK now.

@MrDavon92  Yip, Hadogenes troglodytes, have babies from this one now.

damn its missing leg parts who ever you got that from did a horrible job taking proper care of it

[scolopede]

@kysmelmonge Yeah they had them all together at the pet store, fighting and eating each other, took care of that. btw, this one mated after the molt and had babies several months ago, gestation can be not as long as I read.

Great video! i also have the sudden urge to go watch a TOOL video:P

[scolopede]

Tool rocks! My couple of time-lapse do remind me a little of the old Tool vids I saw on MTV many years ago when I think about it , I didn't notice. Weird that I play guitar some and listen to Metalica, Pantera, Pink Floyd, old Rush, Alterbridge, stuff like that but I came up with my one and only song and it sounds laid back and a little new-age nerdy.

its not a pandinus imperator it is a hadogenes troglodytes

[kungfuxdrummer]

looks like a hadogenes troglodytes ''banded african flat rock scorpion'' i have 2 of them, male and female. i actually have 10 scorpions (8 different species) i also have 1 tarantula and 1 trapdoor spider. if you ever have any questions about either id be glad to answer : )
