some updates.

have house all the scorpions into the containers.
upon closer inspection i have to conclude that all of lester's scorpions are fat. i have never seen such fat scorpions before.

the "mama" is still giving birth. i have decided not to put her into the maternity ward since i'm worried she will be more stress out and starts to eat more of her youngs.

the other female is in the "maternity ward" and is doing fine.

the rest of the scorpions which are all males except for 1 that i couldn't sexs are house communally and i see the same "asking for permission" behavior as i see in my longimanus.
they would vibrate the tail and if he/she is accepted then they can share the hide.

the longinanuses are also doing well and are eating again.
they seems to like temperature in the upper 30 degrees.

i would like to add that spinifers are way bigger then longimanus.
don;t know if they pinch harder then the longimanus.

will find out when i have the time.

eastwing' again i asked of you get an afs if you are interested in having a scorpion.
it will save a lot of your time and also who knows even your life.

an enclosure right beside my bed.

basically i can kiss the thing if i turn my head.

i am very sensitive to sound and if the scorpions is taping the wall enclosure i can wake up and see what it is up too.

the enlcosure is devoid of any decorations has a water dish and a food dish which has 1 or 2 mealworms inside.

no worries hyrinmaru. i have test the dish and it is perfectly safe to put the meal worms inside. they can;t crawl out.

k.fai
they do need it. and also water.
doesn;t every pregnant mommy need their nutrient?

thanks. the meaning of the word "insan" in arabic means "forgetful".

we are referred to as insan, that is why we beed reminding from others.

they will go out when the room is dark and the conditions are right.

then they will go out. if it is not necessary then they will not venture out of the burrow or hide.

a good way to know if the scorpion has been walking around is to clean your water dish and inspect it the next day and see if there are any trace of substrate in them. if there are then it means the scorpions are walking about when we are sleeping or away.

k.fai not only mealworms but crickets also can. like me i can;t find crickets here so i feed them meal worms.

and sumtimes i will hunt for house lizards, i don't fee the whole lizard but just take the tail and i let go of the lizard so i can have a new tail when it regrows.

but don't use traps to get the lizards, u have to use the rubber band technique.

only true kampung folks know how to use that technique. just to stun the lizards and not kill it.

i thing that amuses me with scorpions when they are exploring the tanks is that they like to knock on the wall.

it is like they are trying to find a place where the wall is thinner so that they can punch a hole through it.

babycurus gigas.
i want to know what you guys think of this species as my next scorpion.

i only know 1 sp. lol

because it rhyme with the other gigas that i have in my mind.

which are not scorpions.

araipama gigas. i have about 8 in the lake.

and that giant centipede.

pardon for my tardiness. i didn't know it was leetplayer that responded to my post.

can i ask you something leetplayer,

your coconut fiber, which part of the coconut is it made of?

i have also coco fiber but it is made from palm oil trees.

that explains alot of thing why yours is soft and fluffy and mine is coarse and dry. they grind the palm oil trunk here.

end of that matter on to other matter.

anybody know who is selling dubia as feeders.

pictures will be available soon. just waiting for the scorpion to settle down first.

about the sling i'll pm you.

afterward ryo angry too much spam in the thread. i think we finish v4 in about 2 month only.

i have to agree.
thats why i'm cutting down the chat sessions.

oh and ryo, how about the b. gigas? what is your opinion on that species as my next buy?

not now la. my wife will get the scorp to sting me if she knows i got another scorpion.

the desert hairy is also expensive.

the yellow fat tail is too dangerous.

the deathstalker is dangerous.

P. imperator is not that expensive but it is like getting a very big spinifer.

haih. difficult to make a choice.

and by the way does anybody have any information on who is selling live dubias.

hello there smiling shark/cat.

not much has been discuss in your absent.

just discussing on what is the next species of scorpions that i should buy if i wanted to.

cannot like that.

when selecting a sp to buy we must consider a lot of factors.

any animal in fact. let it be a cat or a betta fish we must put a lot of thought into the purchase.

if you have seen natures destruction and the consequences from its destruction due to the greed and idiotic behavior of human Ryo, you will tremble in sadness and anger.

how many times have i been angry when i see stray cats and dogs die because of human pleasure. how many times have i witness forest being choped down and burn in the name of modernisation and profit.

i just really hope that people will take natures conservation seriously before it's too late.

(*@#$%^&*!@ internet connection make me double post)
