Added on August 6, 2009, 11:18 ami was reading the SOTM on emperor scorpion and found this little bit of interesting data.

i qoute

"The acidic nature of sphagnum peat retards the decomposition of prey remains thereby; indirectly decreasing the chance of a large scale mite invasion due to an abundant source of nutrition...."

"When mite-infested crickets are introduced into the enclosures of captive emperors, mites disperse and mate while; others invade the scorpion as a new transporteur"

any takers. i have never used sphaghum moss before.

sphagnum moss is wonderful to use although its a bit expensive. I mix them with coco fibers . They smell great too! (at least for me)

they kinda dirty arent they... well can just leave it as they are..
You can get urself B.Jacksoni, C.Vittatus, or C. Hentzi.. those are nice to have and i can assure you they are interesting...
Your scorps looks like their stinger has been cut off. is it??

Call me with korkor/MR/watever again i promise i will give u a spank if i met u
For bark scorp u can find rafiqos
And my condolence to ur scorp, their stinger got clipped and they wont be able to regenerate them anymore
Like what the others said, ur substrate is way too dry for them, pls do ur research

ya , and yet again stingers are cut of as a pet wonderland product , i only have one afs with stinger , and this pic was 2 months ago xD now my substrate is whole lot better xD i will show u tomorow haha and thanks rideon i will go find for those species xD

Uhh...Ryo spank. kinky...i rike...

Ryo korkor don spunk me....

I want Parabuthus transvaalicus!!!

Sphagnum moss my favourite substrate, second to only the all time classic cocopeat. They are very visually pleasing as well, especially when it comes to decorating backgrounds etc. The part about it depriving mites off nutrition is new to me. Thanks akagi.

I might experiment with a mix similar to yours too Andrew. Any mishaps so far?
