well they r the most easy to care for when young, the most importanst is to keep the mositure (humidity level) and temp ard 28-30 and they will grow and moult in every 1- 1.5 months time untill they hit 5thn instar which they will takeslighlty onger because they r reaching maturaity

feeding is always good to have a variety for my scorps, some time crickets, some times mealworm, do not hesitate to drop live food and never feed dead food, another thing is do not leave the food in the tank for more then 24 hours if its not eaten, take them out and introduce life prey the next day. water dish is essential but for scorplings i usually use a shallow dish, so the scorpions won get drown, you rmeal worm wont get drown.. so on ...

heres a pic of my spinifer communely set up fpr Instar 5 spinifers .

hahahahaha....... i got the bacxk dround when i go bangkok! damn should have gotten more
i can find the forest floow ones in sg anywaqy ~

well i sure hope its better MTS which is so bias over to the Ts side, haha

bark scorps will pop on the ground then clib backup on the bark with the babies, soe times even upside down .... observed fromLychas mucrontaus.

well you wont be able to breed them untill say... 2 yrs later ? and Andrctonus spcies is pretty weak untill 4th instar so better make sure they r fed at least every 2 days untill they r plump up and ready to moult.

i keep them untill 3rd, the mum still remeber them till then and will not eat them and they r too young to cannabalise each other. once they moult to third instar you start taking them outone by one ,

they do not produce an odour of any kind

IME so far this species do not cannabalised unless they r very lack of food, and they will usually fight and the loser get eaten, usally when theres a size difference also ;( but temprement of different scorps r different so you also have to see your luck on watyouget

IMO.../
well... actually scorpions in the wild r VERY hardy and will not die easily
espacially WC speciment opften shows more risistance then a captive breed ones, like wat you have said they r spoon feed from young. in the wild only the youngs tend to die and pron to cannabalisation or being the prey of so many thing oin the wild. so to speal when they reach adult, they r very hardy because they have survie a long way to become an adult

some feeding and other pics...







C.gracillis that moulted 2 days back

hmm sounds bad... i don like the sound of it... you sure they r dead?

haiz.....

Some fresh moult and Premoult pictures

hi guys anyway you can keep the crixkets in a sperate tank, some egg crates and jus feed them apples or oranges. and they will do well for as long as you need them, unless you get very old one which will die faster, keep them as dry as you can jus make sure you change the fruits every 2-3 days to prevent invasion of fruit fllies, if you wana breed them to give you pin heads, jus put all the females in a tank purposely set up for breeding them, exactly like how you keep AFS and take them out after 2 days , put them too long and they will start eating each others egg, keep it warm and a lil moist, then you will have many in time to come

Mesobuthus Tamulus
