Are these one of those especially poisonous types? Nice baby scorps by the way.

Most Centruroides have fairly potent venom but I dont believe that any species are "especially" venomous (when compared to Tityus sp. and some of the other scorpions)...

no they are not extremely venomous,seem to be somewhat shy and secretive.

thanks

Wow, isn't that a little fast for the babes to darken up like that?

Most of the barks go through their first couple instars in less than 2 days. Always cool to see them go from scorpion looking blobs to mini versions of the adults in so short a time.
