about the topic Scorpion Conservation.

i like it. how about "Scorpion Conservation Through Education".

i believe strongly that threads like this, aracnoboard, and other site dedicated to scorpions are on this mindset.

i'm off herping for pedes. and scorpions. and that "land crab". i hope it is a land crab.

the herping gone bad.

the place has been trashed.

tried to look for alternative spots but too no avail.

sorry rideon, i was too late to safe the pedes for you.

someone burnt the area. everything is hangu and black. walk around to find any living things but nothing to be found.

ehhh?? not that fire la aros.

this one is real fire.

who is Nonono and where can i find him

how small is that scorp?

it look really small to me.

my male longimanus is really horny,

he already dancing with the new female that i put in.

i also change the substrate from the damp saw dust to living grass and a very small fern like plant.

all 3 of them take a liking to the new substrate.

will post asap. you know la how crappy the internet line these days.

the setup is more as an experiment to what i'm going to do by the end of this week.

easy answer to the flame war.

this is how we do it.

they are living in temperate condition so they don;t have such problems with mites.

on the other hand we who live in the tropical climates have to deal with it constantly.

if you ask me on which method i prefer this will be my answer:

"i don't care what method i use. As long as my scorpions are healthy and breeding like rabbits then it will be fine."

oh pictures of the grass that i promised earlier.


See the fern like grass. it hold the moisture well.


the horny male longimanus. got 2 wifes also not enough.


eagle eyed scorpion keeper should know what i'm using as an enclosure till the end of the week.

hehehe. rideon u know it aaa?

have u use it before?

cheap,big and bright.

i like aros's method but i'm not trying it just yet.

lol. it is growing in front of my room. there are like acres of them.

thats why i want to preserved what we have. i always try to save any animals i came upon.

off topic abit

for the first time ever i'm going to reveal my face and another animal that i saved after the mother got eaten by a python near my house.




poor thing was smaller then a kitten when i found it. now it is a full grown female civet cat.

for the civet cat i'm going to keep it because i have tied to release it 3 times and all failed when it return to the house asking for food.

for the scorps i am going to breed them for conservation purposes.

the people here in sibu still practice slash and burn farming method. i am against it because it is not environmental friendly and also the output from that system is not a lot.

no la. the civet cat is in my hometown in sg buloh. the scorps are here with me in sibu. when i get my transfer orders then i will bring the scorps back with me to semenanjung and breed them there. the equipment for breeding them here is really lacking and i have to improvised a lot of equipment.

well you did tell me what to do and made a great first page of the threads.

i am deeply greatfull that i have guides in this forum that can help me with my cause.

thank you all.

rideon. for your red ant problem try getting the ant poison that is in powder form. it shouldn't be to expensive. about rm1.50 to rm2 per packet.

follow the ant to where they are nesting or just pour it around your scorps enclosure. they will go for the poison. when they bring it back to the nest the whole colony should have died in a days time.

if your scorps and feeders are on a rack then you can place the rack farther away from the walls and put the poison at the legs of the rack.

if you don;t want to use the poison method then you can always use the bowl of water technique. just put you scorps enclosure in a shallow dish that is filled with water.

unless the ants are really determine to get to your scorps then this should be ok. but i have seen kamikaze ants that sacrifice themselves so that others could climb on their back and on to the mission objectives.

i really think that you should place your crix and meal worms farther away. they are attracting to many scavengers. you can always buy meal worms and crix but a dead scorp:

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

hahaha. if a dino came call me.

i will catch it and breed it.

hahaha.

what i fear is the mice or i think what you have is the Rattus rattus.
if that fellow is there then it can chew the plastic containers and worse the scorps can escape if it overturns the enclosure.
