i see sumting else. a top gear calendar.

why is your substrate so thin and where is the hide rideon?

nothing. having 2 hetrometrus species i have concluded that they share almost the same habits.

if they have a chance they will burrow and stay in there until you are frustrated and dig them out to see them.

sometimes they will eat and eat and eat but other times they just don't even care if the meal worm is passing in front of them.

haih,i'm on anothe rcrazy work journey. sibu to kuching and back in 1 day.

have to drive my self summore
have to prep the scorpions tonight.

make sure all are feed and watered.

rain forest average temperature is about 22-36 degrees depending on your position from the equator.

with the global warming effect it could be more.

enclosure temperature for my afs are around 30 during the day and 22 during the night.

humidity is high at around 80-90%.

power feeding.

i'm trying to power feed my meal worms.

change the substrate from oats to a mixture of tiger susu biscuits and oats with a ratio of 70/30.

don;t know what will happen but the biscuit is really jam pack with vitamins.

speaking of L.As, my L.A got eaten by its enclosure mate.

and do L.A grow more them 3cm long?

how can i seperate already. the other one is in the stomach already.

i'm starting to see the logicalness in keeping medium and small size scorpions.

my table is full to the brim with scorpions already and i have to get ready to separate the new born spinifers when they reach 2 or 3instars.

then there is the other female also getting ready to pop. and that also a few more new scorpions will be born and have to be separated once they are ready.

if small scorpions then can easily keep in small containers. a lot of small containers is easier to handle then a few very big containers.

i'm still thinking of either letting them be with the mother which i think is appropriate since nature already intended it that but that means i have to get a bigger enclosure.

i think when the time comes i will buy a nice 2'x4'( i hope it is the right symbol for feet) plastic enclosure and put them in there.

i wonder, are there any spinifers in borneo?

the up coming scorpling and the mother are already in a holding enclosures. the just born scorplings are also in a same size tank. which could fit 2 adults spinifers nicely.

so i think i can still relax abit. it is not the enclosure that is the problem. it is my room space. need to re arrange my room so that the scorpions enclosure get the morning sun rays to heat up the enclosures slightly.

to put it into comparison

scorpion are living on a ranch.

me living in a cargo container.

cannot cheapo shelving.

just imagine how heavy a 3x1.5' tank made from plastic that can house 6 adult scorpions with 6 inches of potting soil+sawdust substrate.

time that weight by 4 and you can see the problem.

and that is my point. small containers are easier to arrange.
it also helps if you have small and medium size scorpions too.

ohh. my busines trip to kuching was cancelled.

so this saturday maybe i can see a friend who may have the answer to my problem.

custom made teak wood shelving unit.

how i miss the sounds of crickets.

well it only means they want to have some sexy time rideon.

i'm really trying hard to get some b.dubias and turk roaches as feeders.

my scorps are on a fasting session i think. all of them don't want to eat.

well i think it is good for me that the scorpions are fasting. running out of meal worms and cash.

means that it is time for me to harvest house lizards again.

i have found out that the tail is as good as the body and the scorpions will eat it as it is.

i really can't say.
like i said the mother is hiding deep in the burrow.

all i cans say that she occasionally moves. it is evidence in the substrate that is left behind in the water dish.

i haven't seen her physically since the day i moved her into the new hide.

Added on July 17, 2009, 4:31 pmmaybe tonight i will try to get a picture of her from inside the hide.

hope my camera will not perish in the process.

mine are still too young to sell.

if i sell them then i have to give some to lester. lol.

made the scorpions pregnant then gave them away.

hahaha.

bad news lester.

the mother ate a lot of the babies.

now only left about 9-10 only.

good news lester.

the other female is already in the position to give birth.
this time, i'm going to make sure that at least 50% of the young is alive.
