Hey guys,

I have decided to take out the remaining 2 1st instar babies and raise them up myself. Been reading a guide in venomlist and I do freaking hope that it would turn out fine. These two lil buggers seem to be awesome!!

U do know they have high chance of dying if u raising them in that way rite kar?
If they are on the mom back why risk it?

Dude, I know for sure that IF they were on their mom's back of course they have a higher chance to survive. But ze problem nao is not that. They aren't on their mom's back and the mom haven't been even TRYING to pick them up.

They basically wandered too far off away from their mom. I did a few research and yes it is possible to raise 1st instars. I rather try raising them than let nature's will to kill them. Furthermore, if I'm able to do this, I believe it will be a huge addition to the knowledge of all keepers here.

Since they are bound to die in nature's hands, why not let my own pair of hands give them a second chance to live? Not playing god but seriously, why not?

Good luck

Thanks!!

Oh so both felt off the mom, u din stated there so i juz assume they are on the mom back
Good luck thou

Yup, I will need lots of luck and guidance too, from you especially!

Btw, the 4chan smile chick gave me a freaking huge laugh for a damn long time lol

I dont have experience raising 1st instar myself, thou i really wanted2 experiment a way to increase the chance of raising them
I have a experiment in mind but lack of 1st instar scorpling now?

sam has experience in caring for 1st instar afs last time if anyone remember. out of all those only one survived.. so u really need the luck bro.. n i do hope u do...

a word of advice.

dont put your hopes to high.

the experience of taking care a 1i scorpling is really sumthing that i dont want to repeat. really heart wrenching when u see 1 by 1 the babies die of.

i guess i was lucky that 1 survived.

anyway, all the best to you Kar. i hope u succeed on this awesome experiment and experience that u are about to go through.

my 6i hot hot first meal

Oh well, let's just then hope for the best!! Enough of the sad stories of how the baby died, here's the mommy in her new home in which I took a few days of scavenging to find!!

It's a huge pill bottle hahahaha

lester : Like you said lah, drugs!! D:

acid pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice bottle.

I just got stung by 1 of my scorpions,a 3rd instar longimanus...lol
Try to make it into its container cos it climb onto my hand.Mayb is angle prob when i grab its tail,i felt a slight pain on my finger.
The pain last about 5 minutes and now is getting better.

No lah, it's actually a bottle which holds Gui Ling Gao. For those who do not understand, it's something like a freaking chinese herbal jelly and that's the bottle that comes together with it. A bottle is about RM16.50 and I was lucky because when I went to muh buddies' place, I found the bottle lying on the table.

One of his housemates threw the bottle there and I was like, I see a bark scorpion mansion there! Initial idea was to use RM5 pushpots which I still think it looks epic I mean judging from the price and as well as the size and all. Best enclosure for small scorpions imho!!
