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.

I think u hav to clean the enclosure and remove the dead bodies...
Mayb its scuttle flies maggots?

Scorpion that have babies on their back are very defensive
Experienced it from my AFS and Hottentotta

Do tell me more bout ur research
Have u tried mixing both?

The one from Lisa rite?
I believe she said so because her specimen was found on the drier area but there are some that live in more humid environment, juz like the hottentotta hottentotta
Cause she know where her one from so she know the environment to stimulate in captively
Now wonder lester one from the drier part or the humid part

Got ventilation hole= Scuttle flies can go in
Usually if i have dead 1st instar, i only see round mites eating them

Yup frm Lisa...So ur Hottentotta frm drier area?

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.

i dont remember having some smell when mine poped....

Amniotic fluid?Well if it smells like dat then i shall mate my female fast to smell it
So ur 2nd spinifer giving birth?

wuhuhuh... i took the step that sam did.. i made a maternity ward... one of my female is going to give birth soon (a month does seems soon ) and after her there be another one.. but i think that one will be a lil longer as she does not look bigger... hope this one have no problems like my previous one...

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.

@rideon-This time u r around,it will b ok.

@sam-So u mean the 1 dat gave bith in the parcel still giving birth?

Mine are not, for captive breed one i dun really know where their original habitat, tats why headache

U sure have good nose... I din notice it either but u can tell if she finish giving birth or not by the position of her front legs

Eh when u go meet him tell me i got thing to pass

So mayb lester's method may discover the rite condition for the H.Hottentotta.
Ur "him" means rideon?Waiting for his confirmation

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.

Usually even with babies they will still wonder out of the hides when light off
(At least mine did that)
U might wanna have a peak at night

But if i have any casualty i ll start experimenting with different substrate and humidity and see how it goes
