wow... so teribble.. so geli.....

I bet ur face are more terrible than scorp

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.

Hey guys.. how long can the scorpion survive in the shipping container ?
(With limited oxygen ... )

The longest scorp surviving in a parcel that i ever heard is lester's orthochirus-es that survive in the parcel for a month

correction. is 2 months. aug ~ oct

Lol,why so long?

Hi bro long time no see well ... i not sure why it took so long too but DHL = deliver half way lost .

thanks for the link. i just added in more cocopeat today though. later only upload the picture let you all see see.
about driftwood, i do have one, but i been putting it outside the house quite long already,
there got some green algae grow under it. then i scared there got some mite though.
by the way, thanks for the link.

Put the whole drift wood in boiling water

btu then is quite big my drift wood though, more towards long, is like half of my 1.5ft tank though...
by the way, my tank for the scorpion is 1.5ft, is it ok right? just for 2 afs only.

oh ya, i read through the link of the picture setup, that guy is pro man... some more keep so many scorp, is he malaysian?
and to setup like what he done, it sure hard for me though, since i have limited things, just have pots, 1 driftwood and cocopeats only.
oh ya, what's the malay word for potting soil? for what i know is like those cactus soil or those soil which use to 'tanam pokok'...

about the false bottom, it is necessary to do it? for what i found out is to help keeping the moisture so dunnit to douse it all times right, so without it, you still can keeping the moisture, just that need to douse it more often only right?

That guy is malaysian, his name is alex
Not sure bout malay name for potting soil, i only know coco fiber is call kelapa hancur

False bottom is not necessary imo, the relative humidity in our country is high enuff
Usually i just pour in a cup of water in my afs tank and it last for a few week before i have to add in more water

Pour 1 corner only ?? so that the substrate got semi-damp and damp part..

Or pour evenly.. ? so that whole substrate are damp ?

I pour evenly, until they are all soaking wet
But those substrate below will absorb those water in a few hours and moisture last longer, better than spraying them every day

hseyrann00 - i hope u enjoy ur little scorps 2moro... hopefully they all arrive to u safely.. i picked the bigests amongs them all.. so i presume that the one u got is all 5instar..
i usually mist the tank.. but b4 that i pour the water in their bowl untill over flow for few secs so that area is wet... then mist the others till damp.. i like misting.. like rain fall..

I like pouring, its like flooding lulz
How many 4/5i afs u still having rideon
