These are what I could find AJ. I believe they're even the same pods with the pics a few days apart. The pods were very consistent. One of my favorite plants last year.
There is a picture of one of Megamastger71 Trini Scorp Choco AISPES pods that somebody copy and pasted into a post on my 2011 grow log, page 13, pic is on post #252 that provides visual proof that the "ring theory" may not be the cause of stingers. You have to see it to understand. http://public.blu.li...igrg/AISPES.jpg
This is one of the Trini Scorp Yellow AISPES that I grew last year.
These guys had all kinds of tails. I don't recall having to remove rings off of these vey often..
So far I've only noticed the annular ring constriction thing with Trinidad scorpion-BT. Other scorpion varieties seem to have a more naturally occuring "tail/stinger"
