i agree. it is a reminder. even if you kill all the scorpions in the world, you are still going to get your punishment in the grave.

ok enough talk about religions.

in the J. rhenaniae article, they said if the oxygen level is high then the creature will be big. i wonder if i pump pure oxygen into a tank full of scorpling and keep it that way for a couple of generations will they get bigger?

imagine a 2 feet AFS or emperor.

just a thought, not even going to try it.

well apart from that i just saw my stigmurus sting the pinhead.. and 1 min later its dead... now the scorp retreats to him bark...

sam,
it is not as easy as that to get the big scorpion,

they need to have a favourable condition, not just oxygen concentration, it might have something to do with the food as well. Not to mention other impurities that might presence in the water. Gene. Temperature. Environmental necessities.

seriously, believe me we all want 2 feet scorpion

hahaha, it doesn't hurt to dream.

oh by the way what type of water you guys give your scorpions, ive been reading a lot about that tap water is harmful to the scorpions because it have chlorine in it and the best is distilled water where it is pure water, some even say that mineral water is the best because it contains mineral in it.

since it is raining regularly now in Sibu, i'm using rain water. which i think is a type of mineral water.

for me i tend to stock up rain water in one litter bottle, got 3 of those. It just happen to rain heavily here in the afternoon so i only manage to get 1 bottle as i was assleep. if everything is finish i use boiled water (that has been cooled). i think purified water is also ok..

sam. wrong. rain water is naturally acidic. but not just that, u have to consider all the other acid that might be presence in the rain.

basically acid water give room for cation exchange. leaking in metals and what not.

can also be a threat.

while chlorine on the other hand for me is much safer than that because the amount of chlorine is save enough even for us to drink. So they should be fine.

er... im wrong.. s**t... have to throw away all the water now...

ooooh. new info.

ok point noted. will checked for acidity with my litmus kit.

guys, don't just digest my info. THat one on my text book, basically of course they are against industrial bla bla and going green.

But it's good if all research the stuff:

acid rain on arthopods or specifically scorpion

Well on some cases, invertebrates. snails are affected because their shell are made up of calcium and when the cation exchange occur they somewhat decompose the shell.

And the other arthropods mentioned are the one living inside the water, fish, larva etc.

And for those that directly drink the water if the water are highly acidic and toxic because some soil might have uranium and what not and so leak is a bad thing.

They also mention the effects to plant that actually deplete the wax and cause yellowish, also when the metal leak when the root absorb the water they die.

It's a good thing if you guys look up and share the finding.

I suddenly have suspicion that the some death cases of T or arachnid might have something to do with this.

Because when we gutload the feeder, they absorb the nutrient from the primary producer which is the veggies.

and also the source of water used.

We are now not looking into the pesticide alone, but we must also consider the water pH level.

bear in mind that the definition of acid rain is that the water pH level is below 5.6

but if what sam said is true, then it maybe the other way around. Maybe it is chorine that could be a threat to those our invert.

But so far, I think me using tap water is fine. I think....

sam, ur having the litmus kit is a good idea to check for the acidity, but I'm not sure whether it can detect the pH level too?

just a few pics to liven things up.

Added on June 2, 2009, 2:42 amthere are litmus kits or how should i put it test kits that can test for ph levels. just need to find one that suits our need. this is a not proven info or theory.

it is an interesting point to test out thou. need to find that ph test kit.

but if i'm not mistaken chlorine is an alkaline or a base. i'm not good with chemistry. and there were reported cases when swimming pool ceilings that are suspended by metal rods collapsing due to the effect of chlorine in the swimming pool water.

another question that can be ask is what type of chlorine is in our water?

i seriously like ur red light enclosure... give more depth in them...

i'll tell you a secret.

that red light you see cost me rm9 and the adapter cost me rm6.

what is it?

it is a third brake light for a car. i got it from a shop that sells cheap china made items.

it has 14 leds and has an adjustable angle for the lights.

hmmmm.... rear led brake lights... what are your profession? seems to me like ur an engineer..

lol .... bikers ????

bikers what?

lol .. no la..i tot he is also a bikers .. lol ...
btw ..my one of my lq molted yesterday .. lol..

is it the one from the shipment or the one that u already got that molted?

this is from yesterday shipment .. lol ..

wow.. thats alot.. all that L.Q?

'
YAP .. TOTAL 13 NOS OF LQ BUT SOME BELONG TO FRIEND ... TEMP UNDER MY CARE .. LOL ...
