poor thing.. i cant identify its sex cause it seem it has been split in two.. i dunno i let the other say i cant..

if you notice the mouth area looks deformed.

i think i will keep it until it dies.

it should be a great display scorp because it doesnt have a complete telson. so i can educate people about scorps in my first aids lectures.

that could be useful.. but poor thing.. mayb had a rough in counter with a dog or something that can harm it...

i really cant see anything trying to get in trouble with a scorpion this big.

but life is life i guess.

what bothers me is the incomplete telson.

i guess it must have been surviving by pinching its prey to death.

because my thumb and fore finger doesn't look to good after it pinch me multiple times when i was trying to secure it.

the fingers are bleeding slightly and are full of scars.

as far as i know red bulbs are ok.. read it somewhere in venomlist...if florescent lights it will act differently to dark. white lights tends to blind them even further so i think using other colors than florescent it will be ok.. but dont use blacklight/uv light.. that will have an impact on them...

are we the only one left here???

so the red glo from exo terra should be ok or any red bulb should be ok like the 15 watt bulbs that are normally sold in shops.

i think were the only one here... everyone gone sleep
the one exoterra is a heating bulb (all bulbs emits heats when turn on) usually used for reptiles. For scorp i think is ok... but might aswell get a normal one as its much much much cheaper and it has the same effects.. i tend not to use any bulbs as electricity bill rocketing high... lol

Added on May 26, 2009, 12:54 amif u still want it.. get the lowerst watts so that the bulb only produce a very dimmed light not too dimmed untill u also frustrated cant see the scorps...

roger wilko. i have the same idea just want to confirmed it first.

can't wait to get to town and get my aquarium and stuff. feeling very sorry for the scorps that are inside the mineral water bottle.

i've been gathering stuff for a good week now. just waiting for the aquarium.

More like staying on ur scorp body unmove unless u touch em
Those moving 1 are probably good mites tat happen2 walking on ur scorp body

I could be wrong bt it looks like he met with some badass kid who abuse him by cutting away its telson
Its a common way of thinking in majority of the ppl that if u wan2 be safe from scorp sting then u must cut it
Luckily he din cut the entire telson else this scorp will die
Good luck taking care of him though

can be also. but from where i got it this area is a no kids zone and i'm the only one who is willing to handle them.

the rest will kill it quickly or run away screaming.

i really hope it will survive. want to give it a good place to live the rest of it's life.

any idea what sex it is?

how abt red led ???

Added on May 26, 2009, 7:16 ami think the red glow produce alot of heat.. it is more for reptiles and star totorise which required basking ....
maybe a chk with nmononowil be gd

red LED... hmmm.. its will look stunning... i love LEDs.. if u place right near the corner of your tank it will glow through out the tank.. 1 LED would be suficient... hmm... might get one for my self...

from my understanding .. do correct me if i am wrong .
scorpion can't see red light ...

therefore a low voltage low amp led (red) would be nice...
it will be able to provide enough light for us to see yet ... not for the scorpion , hence abt to
observe their activities............

same theory for the black light ... we will be able to see them glow...

i believe a 24vdc led would be prefect ...as amp compustion will be veri low like in mA ????
normal AA or AAA size battries could last for many hours to come ...
it can be tap to a transformer to be plug into the power supply ......

With a little help of resistor to the led.... the led lifespan could last say 10000hrs lifespan ?????

hope this information is gd for thoses wiling to try it out ..

p/s : do throw in one for me if workable ... lol .....

yup it is workable. you can buy the kit at electronic shops. but the kits come with a normal led and you will need a dozen of them to get the luminescences that you want.

nice idea. will try it soon. i'm googling up the circuits.

this should work but it is really ott for a simple night light.

This post has been edited by akagidemon: May 26 2009, 09:23 AM

this one will surely lit up your enclosure.

a 40 led night light with a 555 timer.



this is a real classic circuit. remembered doing this when i was in form 2.

do pple still use 555??? lol.. tot is pic chips nw

Its a male
Btw u guys really have some knowledge about lightning
Im absolutely nuts when it comes to it but i do know lester is right
The red light is perfect to observe the scorp with their activity at night

had a chat with Nonono and he said that it is not advisable to use the analogue hygrometer and thermometer from exo terra because it is made form thin plastic and is broken easily.

any one who is using it here can you please comment. thank you.

i am using .. so far no proble, .. but accurate i can't promise
