i hope so.

but i knew he didn;t had long to live. it was like a hunch.

before i left he even pinch me when i checked him. his last mark on my body.

i will lcean and disenfect teh body in a few hours. maybe later tonitgh i will scan the carapace for a record for all of us.

at least i can get all the photos that i need. it is a contribution from Gristle.

after all of that i really don;t know what to do with him. preserved him or bury him?

any ideas.

resin i don;t have but alchohol i have. i think i'll preserve him. i can show him to anybody that wants to see what a scorpions looks like.

Coordinates: 2°39'9"N 113°46'4"E

new coordinates received.

planning to go in november or december.

2 ways of getting there. air drop or boat ride. depends on weather condition.

this is really wild frontier.

sumthing like that. the airfield is made from soft soil so you are in aplane that is landing on a sponge. feels like your being drop.

but if you like you can free fall there. not advisable because the air current there are wicked.

oh god. they are fogging my area.

i have put a damp towel over the enclosure and sealed the enclosure airtight.

i hope it will be enough. must be a dengue case in my area. i hate it when the fog of death comes.

here are the detail pics of Gristel

please leave a comment and the name of the body parts.

hope it will help with scorpion research.
Gristle detail photos

vely funneh.

I have a sketch of a communal setup for afs but with a little of reworked i think it can be use as a comunal setup for C.V.

i found something in my enclosure. it looks like a small worm crawling around. and there is a colony of it. it is eating a dead mealworm. i wonder what it is. for safety reasons i have transfered all the afs to a holding enclosure.

yup long and white. and there are like some type of flies with them.
really small flies.like fruit flies.

i'm going to boil the substrate in 1 or 2 days. need to sanitize both enclosures.

hmmm. tomorrow i will post the pics
bad lighting in my room.

the enclosure is already in a quarantine.

i think it is maggots. nematodes? it could be a possibility but where did it came from?

yes it is not totally transparent it is like opaque. whiteish.

here are the pics. no more guessing.

these are moving about. i even found 1 of them poking out from the mealworm.



these are just sitting there no obvious movement.
they look likes eggs to me.

ok thanks for the tips. i may put an order down first to him.

about customs

i have my "ways" if you know what i mean.

i just want to know if the exoskeletons are going to show in the scanners?

if they do then i think i have to find some tubes that can fit them and put them in my socks or sumting.

Added on June 18, 2009, 2:08 pmhow can i trade 1 WC longimanus for 2 captive breed spinifers.

that is very unfair to rafiqos.

maybe 2 for 2?

what is wrong???

i was curios to find what species of scorpions are there in japan and to my surprise Liocheles australasiae was WC in the ryuku island.

quite wide spread this species.
