If my eyes haven't failed me (been having too much lemang and meat for the past 2 days), I'd say a male Fallenhantu.

I believe King Lester can change it's fate. He will make yours look like a normal 6th instar in 2 months. Lol.

Nice containers. Best of all - stackable! Do they sell in bulk?

Is it a Troglodytes or is it a Paucidens, if I may inquire?

Congrats lester. Now raise them! Lol.

One of my female AFS of 2 years+ in my communal setup went into labour last Wednesday. A breeding report and some pictures to follow.

Thanks guys. Haven't counted them scorplings yet. I think I'll leave the mother alone for a few more days.

A nice site for ideas on a rack - http://www.lpracks.com/

One of the most beautiful things about keeping inverts is being able to stack more than 200 animals in a 2 x 3 rack. Beat that snake keepers!

Hang in there buddy. The learning curve on this one may be steep, but definitely worth it.

Hi Lester. I'm sorry for the babies. I have no comfort to offer, but perhaps cherishing the chance you had would do much more. You had a gravid ortho, and it gave you babies. That is in itself a blessing. And owh, humility never kills a scorp.

Good luck to more babies.

That's a very lucky find, despite the unfortunate consequences that led to it.

What post?

More pictures from the uncle's den.


Texas Striped Barkscorpion (Centruroides vittatus)

Housed in a communal tank of 3 individuals. I've observed them working in a pack to neutralize, lynch and dismember adult dubias and even housegeckos. This is by far the most effective communal hunters I've kept. Lol! Expecting more babies in the not-so-distant future.


Arizona Barkscorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus)

Housed in a communal tank of 4 individual. This species is noted as the most potent scorpion species in the North Americas. Envenomation characteristic/symptom typical to this particular species is what I call 'eyeball 360', where the eyes of the unlucky victim begins rolling to the back uncontrollably. Centruroides sculpturatus was renamed Centruroides excilicauda sometime ago.

I am now looking to offload most of my barkscorpions. It's the only sensible thing to do next.

A quickie Anru. What is it?

So what is it? I'm not saying I have one.. Just asking you what is the pic in the scorp...or the scorp in the pic rather.

Lol. About care, there's two morphs(based on locality) of C.vitts. The Xeric and the Mesic. Xerics are those found in arid habitats and Mesics are found in more humid habitats. What we have are from Xeric regions and will not do well in humid setups. They will appreciate a cocopeat+sand mix substrate.

Have fun keeping scorpions instead of boring petrocks. And good luck getting babies!

All living things thrive with good ventilation. Except anaerobic microbes, I think. Tapi saya minimize hole size with those whom saya suspect gravid lah. Haha.

Olok-olok tingkarah.

Nice video Ryankezaki. Can you make one for me? I have a presentation to make next March at the morning talk at work. Thinking of doing one on bugs. :|

Unrelated. But it's a more interesting subject to touch on rather than electricity.

A small & communal forest scorpion species. Northwest Forest Scorpion (Uroctonus mordax)



Lat.

I can positively say its not an Arizonensis. Miahaha.
