how about if bury a water crystal in to the substrate?

the crystal will slowly release moisture into the substrate. the scorpion can drink from it too.

I'm working on getting some water crystals that are proven safe for invertebrates. A lot of the readily available water crystals have dodgy labels (manufactured in China adhering to probably no material safety data sheet). I'd only experiment using something I'm sure won't hurt my animals.

But that is a good idea akagi.

hmm, i have to say that the subs are rather humid. but its funny only one died and the rest is alive. i tot it was grooming as it does look like it, then poke its tail to see if its alive and its already dead. The scorp are 3rdinstar..

A lot of bark scorp died recently...
Rideon, any pic of the enclosure of the dead marg?
Btw my other c.margaritatus molted today to 4th instar
Hope that cheer u up, we are closer to breeding them

well the enclosure pic are in the MSC forum. at the collection part. its al in the same tank with separator. the one died is the one on the far left. the rest is ok.

That doesnt looks too damp for me O_O
Im keeping mine in the same dampness
Perhaps its too high for them, ok time to let mine dry up a lil...

too high? u mean the temperature? it funny coz have been keep like this since i got them and one just died.. really a mystery... and congrats on ur molt there Ryo..

Mayb it cant tolerate high humidity compare to others

I mean the humidity, since rafiqos said they cant tolerate high humidity but im nt sure how damp is consider high....
Anw, we still got a lot c.marg left so no worry

FUKKK!!! i have no c.marg anymore. All done and dusted by fuk - ing red ants. cant see any of the leftovers only a section of its telson. fuk those fking useless ants. feed the scorps nicely yesterday n now they all gone! not my fking day today... wut a waste..!

Possible all ur c.marg died, they juz came to finish them off
But i dunno, u need to talk to alex who is more experience dealing with ants
Probably ask him to come over to help settle ur ants

it might b the case.. but all of them? mayb died caused of bad molt but all of them? dat just mean im very unlucky today.. was hoping to breed them when reach adulthood but seems in dark now.. man just lost so many in these 2 days.. but urs are more greater ryo..
6 species down with only 4 in a short time...

U dun have to remind me =.=''
If temperature and humidity is the course, its very possible that all died at same time especially urs are all in the same container with separator
No worry dude, i got 2 c.marg, rafiqos got 2, mamba 2, my fren 1, junshern er 5 i think, lester 1
Still we can breed them, if i got babies mean u gt free babies too so no worry

mine c.m became handicapped ....
