I'm not here to make things simple. But I will share what I think is important, to me at least. But what do I know? I just read from lits I find from Googletopia and have few sad leftover forest scorpions to part with now. Lol.

Take it easy dizzy.

Yes i do agree on your reference there and recommend Hottentotta caboverdensis Again, i seen certain member stating they are Hottentotta hottentotta (ex caboverdensis) curious on this.

I take my statement back. After reading(or mere looking at the introduction) on research paper, your actually made thing easier for us. You spoil me my friend. I will help you part with them when i am back if i may, so you could actually spend more time reading research paper, and my life easier LOL.

Zoejehuty:

Your first answer will be, both will do fine, if they are free from any chemicals and parasites. Main purpose i use substrate is to provide moisture or occasionally provide hiding place for them. They hardly be any other reason for this substrate i can think of. Hyourin has answer it nicely and short.

To answer your 2nd question, insteed of trying to prevent them burrowing, is easier to change to other kind of feeders?

Apart of making sure my Heterometrus spinifer eating the superworm of crushing their head and making them lifeless and undesirable for the scorpion, i can't really prevent them on burrowing to substrate unless i don't use substrate at all. Thing with superworm is, most of the time they will find a nice moisture spot in the substrate and stay there till they become beetle. Usually is under the water bowl.

i just got to buy the coco fiber, so tomorrow might just change the substance. see how thing goes 1st.
about the mealworm, i did think of try to crush their head off make them lifeless, but then scared the scorps wont eat it since it's not moving.
i waiting my cricks to get big then cultivate it on my own. so in the mean time i just have to feed super mealworms then...

about the white desidu or more to be like shit produce by scorps, do we need to clean it off as well?
cos last 2 days in the afternoon i found some insect, looks like fly not then feel like not as well.
so i check my tank whether there got any cricks or mealworms die, after search, none. so i wonder what attract those things.

Usually is phorid flies, which breed on decaying matter. Is not really neccessary but you can clean them off if your free. I do that when i do maintenance, just to make my tank look clean.

Ryo: I bold them for myself to see if i spell out right without copy and paste from google.

LOL, I know it looks ignorant to you. Jangan so mean la....lol

zoejehuty:

They are probably scuttle flies or a type of phorid fly. They need decaying matter to breed, occasionally they will lay egg on excretion of scorpion. Won't do much harm normally. They are nearly everywhere, the clean up team of nature.

However, i think you get the point of adding more substrate, Heterometrus spinifer is opportunistic burrower, mostly they take advantage on hiding under logs or stones, waiting for prey to come. And the more substrate easier for you to maintain humidity.

Provide a piece of drift wood for them to hide under, which i think you can buy at local pet fish shop.

Here is a good link for you to learn. Specially from this guy, i think his username is LXDGN what, i know his a local scorpion keeper. His enclosure is a good example but i can't find the link from his previous tutorial setup. You sendiri cari. Enough spoon feeding d.

Cause is a creature worth to be research and learn by us. It doesn't apply to the conventional(pet). We do not hug or play nor talk to them(maybe some do the talkng here but i don't). We kinda observe them(some girl tell me they are cute). If you understand them, they aren't dangerous as you assume.

Again. Life is just huge with many things you haven't experience, life doesn't surround on your norm life. While our norm life doesn't surround to your particular question. Can you understand?

Feel free to ask more that we can provide to you.

scorpions big and small can KILL you. Liocheles spp. so small. Small = venom stronger.

My Adult H.spinifer escaped. The first place it headed was the bathroom which is kinda a distance. Tropical species tend to look for humid place to hide. s

Your copy and paste didn't help Lester. Pretty sure, people who come to this thread might have hard time reading publication and may not understand it, or worse langsung don't read.

I personally would consider not to elevate any of my limb to heart lvl for blood to circulate easier to my heart, it will be tiring to do so 2. At the bright side, it my hand was stung it will be comical holding my limb to a awkward position all the time. It will be normal and even consider patriotic if i am a Nazi from world war 2 saluting to Hitler all the time.

Maybe is some type of medical explanation that i am not aware of, and not being explain.

Well again like mentioned before, i can't control people who would want to read or  would not want to read. but one thing for sure. if anyone would to ask me anything they are unsure of, i would try to answer them to my very best if they would to ask ... .  And for the copy and paste thigy u mentioned. i do not undersstand what u trying to say .as usual..

btw, i have a different view on the elevate thigy, anyway just to share here with others.  recently i been attending military training and there are lots of exercise in it. to keep things short , many of us experience shortness of breath after say jogging . the heart is pumping faster than usual after the exercises. blood are flooding faster to cater for more o2 to other parts of the body??. were advise by the trainers to cool down after the run by elevating our hands above our head and taking in deep breath.

mentioned by trainers that this allow the heart to reduce it pump rate . hows this realli works i do not know how to explain but it works in cooling down after a long run and cool down effectiving. therefore my views would be on the opposite of urs. thus taking this exercise of cooling to lower the heart pump rate with via visa to the mentioned IMO. but i do have to agree with you , Maybe is some type of medical explanation that i am not aware of too, and not being explain. just to avoid confusion , i am not saying the method mentioned is 100% correct but also not 100%  wrong.
but just something i read and share it there.

a question to you dizzychef , if for example , u  bitten from a king cobra , would u restrict blood flow by having say a rope tie very tightly on ur hand if ur hand is bitten or let it have normal blood circulation ?

as for the affected limb thigy, US people refer to parts of hands or legs which are movable as limbs if i am not wrong thus not only restricting lower parts of the body...
(p/s :  lastly ,  i too realise that you have been posting unrelated stuff in the thread recently which you once "told off" others and making up some of  theses of pure plain chats lines. imo these are of no help too and totally worthless to read.)
*
I don't know why i need to answer a venomous snake bite here, but i think i give a try as i see animal planet here for free. Lets say if you been bit by venomous snake near to the palm. Instead of restricting and blocking all the blood flow which might lead to hand amputation, should wrap cloth around your whole hand firmly (kinda look like a huge bandaging) to slow blood circulation not blocking it by tightly blocking a point. Anyway if you want to know more there is a snake thread.

Again sorry for my focus to a certain part of the human limb. Is just a joke. Take it easy.

Your essay is so long but cleary still not disccusing the point of Rafiq and i don't know why so many other weird question. Lucky i didn't read your personal pm before this, should be very perverted. Instead of spending time to pick mistake to argue, can we chat about what Rafiq has to say? you can say other stuff behind my back no problem 1.

As i also speak to Zoe, if my replies is worthless at you no problem also is for him to judge. Yes i chat with Ryo here, mean you agreed also doing this is nothing of value right? However i do wish you participate chatting about scorpion here not just posting pictures and videos, specially in Tarantula thread...keep repeating the same species... again i am not aiming at you when i hit back at the thread as majority been doing that, looking for a change.

Anyway from all this mess as i started coming hard at you. I did not intend to offend your theory, nor did i think you want to provide bad info and we are also not judging your good intention. I am also waiting Rafiq to debate my assumption if is pure fiction. Don't need to take it personal as possible.

afiqheafy: there is no noob question, Feel free to bombard Ryo with question.

I was debating about the elevating procedure, and i joke on the limb thing if i had follow the procedure. Is not an attempt to smear you. Again, if you copy and paste, a lot of newbie coming here might not understand it. Thats all, from my initial post.

Alright, no point keep talk lansi with each other, we both also from Johor that are famous of being lansi, we can do that forever. I apologize now, cool?

My AB sales thread is kinda good, i had to stop selling some Tityus metuentus as i want to keep some for myself. I did get another different batch recently.
