Added on July 23, 2009, 2:22 amthose good mites are predatory mites. They feed of the bad mites.. and after all of them have been cleared, they to will die off..

They r so small how the scorp kill them?There r slightly chance for scorp to step them to death.The largest individuals of this kind of isopod can be 1 cm long, but most are 7 or 8 mm.

yeah predatory mites! thats the work im looking for instead of "good mites" lol

but those are not in malaysia..

i wonder how to breed many scorps and at the same time, to manage this mites prob effectively..

the only thing is prevention.. like they say... prevention is better than cure..
make sure that the uneten food is taken away and any poos left by the scorps are also scraped away.. that should prevent the mites from coming.. oh yeah good ventilation..

yeah prevention is better than cure, but things will not always go as what we plan.. for a big scale breeder, they will face these kind of prob.. with their big collection, it will be impossible to monitor all of them to the point that u said..

well, this is sumtin which is good to discuss about~

It is true dat mites issues r overrated in Malaysia forums
If cant deal wiv this issue i suggest dun try big scale breeding 1st,if wanna breed,then go for desert sp.
This reminds me of lester's H.Arizonensis

Female - Lychas scutilus.

cool..... where did u gtit ... ???

if its second instar it should b a lil more darker. I think its still 1st instar.
@Rafiq - where did you get that L.Scutilus... Damn man... Ryo will b screaming if he found out.. well im shocked...

Can. Send over your male and I'll do what I can Lester. Will come online in a minute!

Akagi, were the young uns separated before they voluntarily got off her? They look awfully young to be separated from they're mom. One of the most difficult thing to simulate artificially is the regulation of humidity by way of osmosis. How the mother keeps her younglings hydrated until they form 'harder' shell structures which in turn prevent for loss of bodily fluids. That's just a theory, but it's one theory that's got grounds in my books.

I don't follow this thread as avidly as I used to anymore. I don't know the full story and am not judging your efforts bro. I like how you post.

Ryo knows about this one rideon. And so does Lester. It came from a dear friend of mine.

oh.. so ryo does know... ok.. it just left me then... i do hope u can actually breed them... its very rare eventhough its local...

it all started when the mother gave birth in the parcel during shipping.
i transfered her to the enclosure and made sure she wasn't unnecessarily stressed to prevent her from eating her babies.

but she keep on eating them and then 1 day she went berserker.started to run around the enclosure and as a result a this lot u see here was thrown off her.

i pick them all out and checked the enclosure for any more that might be left behind and found 1 buried in the substrate.

the cause of the berserker mode was maggots which i found after a close examinationof the mother. a total of 4 have been removed.

the mother is doing well after the removal but she refuses the babies.

i had no choice but to try the technique that was posted by Ryo if i'm not mistaken.

all we can do is pray and hope the babies will survive.

i hope this condensation of what have happened is to your liking.

LS ready for action to you .. boss

for some reason im just damn excited to see this both LS together...

hmmm this reminds me of a ghost story

sorry about the losses .... but sometime we learn thru the hard way
