Odonturus dentatus baby molted but arctimanus died

erm...is it the one that u trading with me? hmmm?

Not trading liao...mites attack la...they are a bit sensitive lar...by the way ur lil Lychas has bit the dust liao

i wanna ask.how do u keep ur scorpion container warm?cause when i maintain the humidity of the container the temperature will drop and it will be cold for the scorpions.but i dont want to put in lights as heat source cause the scorpions tend to be less active when lights are around.they only come out from their wood cave and eat when the room is dark.is it dangerous if the scorpions kept cold for so long?

hmmm...nvm lar...sigh...very sensitive also that one. only eats cricket legs.


u using guppy tanks? try using musking tape & tape the holes on top shut. to maintain humidity. for the heat try using the exoterra ceramic heater. but then remember not to over do it...later ur scorps baked...

aight,thanks
but 1st hav to consider buying the heater.quite expensive.its around rm53 right?

i heard that mites and ants cause stress to the scorps.what cause them to enter the scorp tanks?
sorry for all my bla,blaing questions.exicted newbie here

i saw this on the net

Pepe the Two-Tailed Scorpion

yeah...its caused by those left over food that's in the tank...clean all left over or uneaten crickets in the tank....

heater's not really necessary unless the low temperature you're talking about is below 23*c

mites and ants... well.. mites aren't too bad with bigger specimens. ants.. just have to remember to remove any leftover food. mites you can just seperate your scorp into a different container.. and brush off the mites... change/sun the soil.

mites are already in the soil or sometimes in the food. hard to avoid cuz AFS for instance requres high humidity. for species that requires low huimidity eg. desert species, you won't really face this problem

everyone has been a newbie once feel free to ask. we're all here to learn

SOrry late reply...
Would like to know how big are ur kids ? (scorps)
Suitable container would be an air tight one...usually a toyogo box will do fine. In fact I give them a big one...so that they have a lot of space to move around. I have 3 in the box. Breathing problem ??? NOPE...they dun use much air...in fact the tighter the box, the better...why...loose lesser amount of humidity. Get a good moisture retaining medium for substrate...I use exoterra jungle earth...no moss and absorbs water well. Box always humid. Spray every 2 days is more than enough...i said spray, i dun mean flood the box...

Heat ? no need la...waste money. lighting also no need ler...they are basically nocturnal but in our local jungle, its basically dark most of the time niway.
Dun allow too much light...its very stressful for them...

All u need is a lil common sense...like someone told me...dun fix it if it ain't broken. Sometimes wat we think is good for the bug is actually very harmful instead...

Ok good luck with ur kids...

oh my Goodness...why u guys so daring ...haha...if kena stung then u all sure regret....

easy way to not get stung is to not handle which I don't I have a bunch of venomous stuff at home. never got bitten/stung

i got pricked by a lH. longimanus b4. the malaysian blue scorpion. was not too bad...whole finger become black for a few days with centralize pain round the stung part. besides my allergy it was no biggie. i need to get shots because i'm allergic to toxins. for normal ppl it should be ok. but effects of the sting varies with people...

Erm...no pain no gain...
Nah...dun risk getting stung...always handle them wisely...by not holding with ur bare hands...

Use ur head and spare urself the unnecessary pain...

And remember to buy insurance!

haven been ard much hows every one > hahah jus drop by to say hi!. i see that scorpin entus r growing in malaysia!
