I really have no idea what happen to ur emp, hope she ll be alright...

Here's something unrelated to share, confirming that pseudoscorpion feed on mites
http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=66494

Yes they are here, in fact if u check out back scorp thread V1, balthasar found some of them during his herping trip
Alex know where to get them

Wah emp so mahal
I sell u mine la, matured male
Nudge me

Aside from that, no recommendation
U cant be choosy, not much species for beginner available in malaysia

Some pictures of my Balsasensis to share

Im still having trouble sexing them
I pakai magnifying glass to see also cant tell
Hopefully they ll molt to adult (if still immature yet) or give birth or mate soon lol......

Why la u quote u remove the spoiler lester -.-''
Isnt that a Androctonus Amoreuxi?

Well, some call the amoreuxi as yellow fat tail as well so yeah

While he got a new scorp i got some loss here
Just saw a Hottentotta Hottentotta molting but after 3hours it stop moving and no progress
Yeah a death hot hot again, but what sux the most is i found another that molted 2days ago dead too
Now im only left with 3hot hot
This sux big time

Anyone got sad song to recommend

What should i do with the hot hot corpse i wonder...
Feed it to my C.Marg?

Wtf andrew kasi muka la
Cakaplah cantek cam lukisan mona lisa
I dun smoke, im pretending to smoke
I dunno how to make those rideon, and it's not worth to preserve imo cause its small......
So i fed to my C.Marg, both enjoying, recycle is good

Moment before it die

I figure out i shld try removing the exo to practice helping future molt prob scorp

Pretty successful, all the exo removed without breaking it's limps

Oh well, recycling...

I realize that they prefer on the moist side last time too

I overdid a bit, and a few died from it
Ur method of moss i ady used before u
I did mist a corner once a week, but still O_O

I dunno what's wrong, thats why im frustrating like mad
I've seen alex one, memang epic..........

The ventilation i have is exactly the same with rafiqos's one
It's good, air flow is good

Around the same as ur schedule, rafiqos
Mostly once or twice a week, i only take a peek on their condition without opening the lid everyday, mist once a week at corner
Temperature in my room is around 28-31C hmm.....

Thanks for the insight Rafiqos, that's very helpful
I really hope i have better luck with hottentotta in the future
This is the species that i'd been fail in keeping since last year till now

Interesting discussion going on here
Rafiqos, i keep my hh no different with urs
Smallest delicup with few mm substrate, poo and old exo all dalam takder take out lol.....

Bout mycosis, i think the 1drop of water= mycosis myth came from me?
I only heard bout tat from TAG last time we go mamak
But imho, so long if u have good ventilation, i think mycosis wont occur so easily
I personally do mist one of the corner of my old P.Pallidus enclosure before
Just to experiment since she ady got mycosis but well, i dun see the mycosis spreading or she got any new mycosis spot on her
I continue doing this for one whole month (Yea, im insane) yet nothing happen
But from what i know, desert sp are able to restrain moisture in their body way more effective than other scorpion does
Their poo are extremely dry, they have a layer of waxy coating on their exoskeleton that makes it impermeable to water (in both direction)
So long that they get enough food, they have sufficient moisture, molting sholdn't be a problem

But that's just from what i read, i personally have only experience 2 desert scorp molt which is my a.australis (Which fail to do so) and deathstalker
Both are feed on the same schedule, same environment etc
But i'm not sure why my australis fail to molt thou

Lastly, "cause of death due to overhumid for arid inverts is mycosis"
What about sub arid scorp like Hot Hot?
When u keep them too wet they ll die but why?
Surely it is not mycosis cause i dont see black spot on them and as i know mycosis doesnt kill a scorp so fast

"I'm just curious that possibly the conditions that their mother was being kept isn't exactly tip top"

I assure u that i keep her in the right condition (At least i think so)
She was in a guppy tank with good ventilatiom, one piece of bark where she usually hide under, one section of moss where i usually mist on (Also her favourite hang out place)

Problem is, since i got her till she passed away, she only eaten twice or a lil bit more than that
After that, she just kill prey, hold in chelicarae, and then drop on ground
One week after she refuse prey, she pop-ed, with a bunch of unfertilized eggs where she's munching on

Im not sure if those babies are defected, but i do suspect even before u metion this
Remember i told u in msn last time?
Some babies are small, some are big, the different are really obvious
Those smaller babies aka runt, make out of the majority that died off

It sound like an excuse to cover my own mistake so i never mention bout it in this thread
But think again, it's kinda possible as she travelled 5days in parcel from a far place and perish not long after the parturation
