@jamesiukini-Welcome and i still waiting for ur pic
@Ryo-Hepi birday,u r now 1 year near <fill in the blank>

Anyway my point about snip off the stinger of a scorpion is,for those who is afraid of being stung by a scorpion mean u r not ready for 1.It is just like buy a pet without 1 of its body part.Just make urself ready for it so no nid to harm the organism.

BTW i think i saw 2 "Anon" scorpion avatar ady,lets id them

ROFLMAO

1st thing in rideon's dun knw list...lol

Congrats on da molt

Is the C.Balsa stinger broken ady?
Sry for the hot hot and C.vittatus...such a big loss as the hot hot is gravid

Do knw dat it is very lucky to get an emp as starter scorp

Tail too thin to be fat tail...lol
Anyway,congrats

Dun think dats even possible...

Well u can say dat

For desert sp.,i think the best is not to mist at all bcos they r most sensitive and will get mycosis easier than any other sp.They can get enuff moisture just frm their food ady imo depends on their habitat which hardly to get even a drop of water.
The advantage of desert sp. is they hardly got mites infest on them(din c any case yet,any more to add?) but to prevent mycosis and molting problem is the biggest challenge which u hav to manipulate the humidity,temperature and they moisture wisely...

For h.hottentotta,i wonder if we keep m.martensii in the right way then we can apply dat to h.hot as well?I heard m.martensii also come frm arid and not-so-arid area,isnt it?
I loss my h.hot as well due to unknown reason a few days after it molted.Dat time i mist once a week and feed it just 1 crix drumstick and it will bloat up and i'll stop feed it anymore.
I used just coco fibre as h.hot substrate and when slightly mist on the side,i do notice it likes to go to the damp place as well.

Actually i seldom calculate how many times per day/week i feed my inverts,just when i c they r thin ady,i'll feed them until a certain size then i'll stop but i do maintain the humidity of them

Sry for cant giving more informative info as i hav limited knowledge about them YET...Hope other more experience keepers share their insight about their scorpions

U r going to the wrong way...If u really wanna keep them alive,u shud study more about them not just buy more and experiment on them.
Love them is to keep them alive,not take their lives as a gamble

If it is about genetic then i dun quite understand y liocheles australasiae din encounter this problem

Dats wat i wanna say about ryo's hot hot genetic theory
BTW i think bisexual doesnt suit,doesnt it?

Or get the last emperor frm andrew

Liocheles waigiensis for me

O_O
Then i think i wrong ady cos l.waigiensis cant be found locally.If really is l.waigiensis then it is not parthenogenesis

Wanna knw the seller's hot hot brood of the same mother.If the previous brood mostly survive then can genetic "quality" decrease these dramatically?

High humidity,enuff substrate to burrow

Some on nom nom nom pics-M.Martensii



I notice dat my martensii color is more yellowish than rideon's,prolly different morph?Lol

Anyway,i'm curious about scorpion's stinging.As in the pics,my martensii struggled wiv the crix for a while b4 stung it then eat it.But some sp. just sting doesnt care about its prey size/power.Like lq,it just sting its prey 1st even the prey is just a mealworm which it can overpower very easily.

My question is,y some sp. just sting right away,some fight wiv their chela 1st b4 sting,other just crush their prey using chela(heterometrus sp. and pandinus sp.)Of course we do knw dat some wiv smaller chela are more tend to sting while on the other hand those wiv bigger and more powerful chela will just crush their prey.But y my martensii wanna give a fight 1st b4 it stings while some other sp. just sting right away?

Is it due to aggressiveness?If so then those wiv smaller/weaker chela should just sting right away cos i dun think they wan their dinner to escape,isnt it?
BTW wat i meant not applying on those which is very thin or very fat,just normal size.

1st...Congrats,again
2nd...Click on ::V6::Scorpion-Thread::V6:: in Pets Wonderland
3rd...Find this post and 85% of ur questions will be answered
4th...Dun hav to provide water dish yet,as they might drown
5th...With wood or no wood also ok,if can just provide a small bark for each of them
Lastly...L.Scutilus live in here(Malaysia),so high humidity is needed

Good luck raising the splings

Nice pics rideon

Guess the name

Winner will be rewarded a rock...rofl
