this is a very nice speciment



guess the name before clicking the spoiler

at roughly USD20 each not including shipping it is a very expensive speciment. not to mention one of the fastest desert species.

isn't h.hottentotta is a climber?

weh. if you put ur aircond to 29 degrees better to turn it off la.

our room temperature in malaysia is rangin from 24-32 degrees. if you put 29 then better to turn it off.

if you are having the same problem as i am which my room don't have a fan just put your scorpions near a window so that the enclosures will warm up a little.

the aircond can be kept at 24-26 degrees. that will be ok.

my aircond is set at 22 degrees now but enclosure temperature are around 26-28 degrees.

get urself a bunch of thermometer to get a data sheet of your room temperature fluctuation.

i'm waiting for some cash to get to my hands.

see la. if i can get a good deal overseas maybe Emperor Scorpions, Desert Hairy, Dune Scorpions, any of the Orthicurus family, or maybe even a B.Gigas.

see how much money i can get. maybe end of this year maybe early next year.

mites.

i wonder,

what are the factors that contributes to a mite infestation of the tank and scorpions?

this is the first time that i saw a clear picture of a mites infestation on a scorpion.

thank you hyorinmaru for the pictures.

all these while i was observing my scorpions to see if there is any abnormality on them.

i think so. i made a different shelter for her and she is more relaxs now.

just a small topic. regarding feeders. have anyone heard about this feeder roach species:

Turkistan Roach.

they are like b.dubias except they don't carry the young inside of the, .they lay egg sacs.

a good feeder sp maybe.

the offer right now is 1000 roaches at 50usd not including shipping.

my other gravid female from lester is acting really strange. she won;t eat, she keep sitting on top of the bark that is the entrance to her hide.

i wonder, is she going to pop soon?

my male spinifers have followed the longimanus attitude of hiding inside the burrows and dig as deep as they can.

ok no experience with gravid scorps before.

i only know how to make them feel good. thats all.

hehehehe.

use the 3S and 1F method.

S3x
Sun
Shelter
& Food

we should give it a try on ourself.lol

food la.

what is on ur mind.

you dirty old man.

just provide all of the above and as close as possible to the natural habitat and they will feel good.

i think it is about a week or so.

aaaaah. while hyorinmaru is having problems with mites. i'm having problems with flies.

just checked on the female and saw 3 dead baby scorpions in the substrate. i guess she was moving around in the enclosure.

i notice the babies were moving so i presume that they were still alive. to my surprise it was the maggots that were moving.

how can the flies get into the enclosure when it is sealed and neted.

i'm thinking of getting a carnivorous plant to help me with the fly problem.

it is th esame maggots from before. the flies are very round in shape and have stripes on the body. really2 small flies. as usual just scoop all the effected substrate and out the windows all of them go.

the mother is still giving birth. has anyone notice a particular smell when a spnifer gives birth. it smells like amniotic fluid.

i can presume that as long i can still smell the smell or odour then she is still giving birth.

not yet but she is staying on top of the hide rather then in it. you guys already know my style of hides for AFS. so you get the idea.

i can;t see her. she is well inside the hide. sumtimes i wonder if i have to change the hide design for me to see them more clearly.

since i can;t see her so i am presuming she is still giving birth. i cant't say for sure if she have stop giving birth nor can i say she is still birthing.

and hyorinmaru, this is the female that gave birth in the parcel.

rideon. show me a picture of your maternity ward.

i can;t take mine coz it is already in use and the mommy scorpion ain't to happy with visitors.

he has a fever because the wife is going into labour soon.

hahahaha.
