save yourself the headache and just get a captive breed juvinile afs.

it is much more rewarding.

no worth the trouble to get a WC specimen but it's full of parasites.

in a worse case scenario, what ever parasites it have can be spread to you tarantula collection.

almost all of us have some extra scorplings but not adults.

we keep the adults for breeding purposes. if your just getting an adult specimen for display purposes then it is not right.

it is not in my power to stop you but ethically it is not right.

those are my longis.

homo longis. facepalm.jpg

put them in air tight container an pump pure oxygen till the oxygen saturation in the container reaches 100%.

give them a lot of food and keep humidity in check. and maybe just maybe you can get something like brontoscorpio.

just make sure don't have a naked flame or else will go kaboom.

revived by phoenix down. opps no. revive by a nice plate of hot steaming rice with fried fish and sawi masak belacan.

good news lester. i can see some of the scorplings are already 2 instars and also Vitalis has already change to a very deep shade of brown.

will take pics and post it a bit later.

he does resemble a maggot. lol.

sorry for the total lost lester. really shame la all of those nice sp wasted just like that.



done.

after the chaos of destruction has past what is left is only hope.

you can get a nicer shipment lester. a much better health specimen.

i know you can.

are you planning on buying a spinifer lester?

same here. not for selling or trade. unless to lester.

for the longimanus(if it's gravid) i will trade it with other researchers.

lester i have some 1 instar sitting together in a vat full of alchohol together with an adult longimanus and L.A.

want some scorpion tonic??

somehowwe the colour reminds my of goldfries.

before we answer we need to know where did you get it from?

because it looks like a spinifer and if you got it in the peninsular then it probably is.

if you got it in the borneo island most probably it is a longimanus.

but it looks like a h.spinifer.

use this as a guide to take care of him. different scorpion but same habitats and needs.

sad news. the mother of the first brood has joined her brood in heaven.
found her lifeless today at a corner of the enclosure.
poor thing.
i didn;t even name her yet.
the cause of death i would most likely contribute to incomplete birth. comparing her to the other female which have given birth she is still fat and looks like there are still embryos in her.
only will know after an autopsy is done which i'm still thinking of doing it or not.

i don;t want to post pictures of her. it makes me emotional when seeing them.

whole brood and mother lost.

will do. if i get the autopsy done.
now where is my scalpel?

Hmmm. interesting fact there rideon.

your female also ate her whole brood and died after that.
mine ate most of her brood and died.

is there a link? does anyone had a female that ate her whole brood and died?(focusing on spinifers but other sp are welcome too).

forgot to add. i got m y self pinch by a spinifer yesterday and to compare it to a longimanus pinch, the longimanus pinch is much,much painful compared to a spinifer and the pinch time is like endless.

spinifer they just pinch and let go.
