Ethyl alcohol is the most commonly used alcohol in the perfume-making industry akagi.

If we have enough patience to cure a carcass in the average perfume for a couple of weeks, and let it dry in open air for another 2-3 weeks, this works as well. I've tried it with 2 of my precious-but-dead scorpions.

Also trying out another method on a stick insect - using salt diluted in water and ginger.

this is interesting...

hi guys im thinking of getting an emperor scorpion. do you guys know of any good pet shops around subang/pj/kl which sells them and all the equipment needed ie substrate, hide etc?

thanks!

interesting. salt {sodium chloride (NaCl)} is a commonly use ingredients in preservation of meat (Egyptian mummies as an example) due to the way it adsorbs moisture from the meat.

the ginger i'm not sure how it works but if put those 2 together and some onions, garlic and cloves it sure makes a nice curing base for fish,meat and chicken.

yes ethyl is very sweet smelling. it is as rafiqos has pointed out use in perfumes.

soaking the scorpions in perfume is as close as a full ethyl bath.

a polo sport smelling O.Inessi lester?

thanks rafiqos. new info.

off topic. rafiqos you like this animal.

Added on August 18, 2009, 12:39 pmhmm what to add on to version 6.

my suggestion :

1.a list of scorpions and inverts that are protected by malaysian and international law.

2.preservation methods of dead scorpion.

just my 2cents which in the current inflation rate worth nothing.

thanks for the heads up

Welcome to the thread justiceforthe96

if u have tons of money u can get emperor at a price of RM300 in subang.. if ur a beginner then just get ur self a spinifer.. its cheaper and a bit more aggressive...

serious 300 in subang? y de hell so expensive?

coz the guy brought it in legally.. so expensive la..

Agree wiv wat rideon said,get an afs 1st.It is cheaper,slightly aggresive and it is also a good beginner scorpion

Why is an aggressive scorpion a good beginner scorpion?

subang - are u talking abt the shop in summit? creepy creatures or something?

Some emperor are also aggresive too,depends on its personality.They r good beginner scorpion bcos they r more docile than other sp.,bigger size and they possess mild venom.

yeap that shop.. in the summit.. But i dont suggest u buy things from them, but thats me anyway..

i just dry set them and spray aerosol. work well though paste and then frame, maintain with naphthalene. cowboy stail!

Welcome to the hobby
For emp scorp, its hard to get here but as pointed above, rafiqos is taking pre order

Noted, if u can contribute the list it will be great

Simply because afs is more readily available in Malaysia atm
Emp is good too, just that its more pricey than AFS

hmm guys ..

ever tot of wat are the joy of keeping scorpions ???


well this is my joy lol ...

proud to bring you guys -- Parabuthus Transvaalicus 5i
more of it to come
