Er...Lychas mucronotus is not from china so it shud be called Lmucronotus and leave it as that...its from Malaysia...
The martensii are Chinese armour tail....maybe the guy pull ur leg.

Tag,

We have knowledgable people here, but its good to have one who has more hands on.

Scorpfanatic,

Good to have you on board.

whoa... tht's small... very pretty though

hi guys, sawy one of my h.spinifer mouting to 5th instar, expecting more moults in days to come i think , view the pictures and you'll know y.. haha







oh and i found my L.scutilus having some funny positions so i snap some pics tpoo enjoy

Wow! They're so cute!

My asian forest babies were just born early this month. THey've already molted once.

I have a question though, how often should they be fed?

hi there.. heres wat i did.. some pictures too.... my female gave birth last october now the slings are 4th instars, the pictures will guoide you through the stages..

First instar they will still be on the mums back, she may/maynot eat. she may jus kill preys and jus leave them there, a way to protect the youngs from ANY LIVING THINGS..

link to the video:-

heres how they will look at 2nd instar (still on mums back)




after they get a lil darker, they will start wondering ard and findin hides (still near to the mum or the mum will still stay near them, at this stage , they will feed on preys (adult crix, mealworms) my female usually chew the head off and then dump the rest under the hide where all teh babies are for them to feed, this last quite a while around close to ard 1 month if im not wrong untill they moult to 3rd instar, which then they can feed on head crushed mealworms..

2nd instars...




after which they will mount into 3rd instar which they will turn dark, no longer dark yellowish with cute red claws hhe.. this time i sperate them and keep them in group of 3s or 5s..





moulting



then they will grow real fat... feeding on jus meal worms, they will look like this




moulted to 4th instar







i kept them communel again at 4th instar, because ive sold most of the siblings and im keeping these 9 of them... as my own hehehe



and of course now one of them is 5th instar

to prevent cannabalisation at any point, jus make sure they r well fat at all time, temp ard 80-85F, humidity HIGH! mealworms for them to eat AT ALL TIMES! untill 4th instar their diet has been meal worms, ive kept them that way and raise 28 scorplings till 4th instar before selling most away without any signs or cannabalisation even when smaller scorplings moult.. hope it workd for you too

woo.. great guideline, wal!

ite... still yet to seperate my M martensii scorplings. have alot of small containers but no cover

Ah...so u guuys met walton liao ar...ok...cool dude

Niway thanks for the reference for title of experten... but i guess I'm just a big con-man too

Eh dude...i have not shown u my lil doods though...sad...lost one baby O.dentatus to dehydration...guess it was toooooo dry.

Walty...

scorpfanatic, how many types of scorpion u keep ???

i heard u're on arachoboards too? thx for the good review bout us u told walton bout.

Androctonus Bicolor
Chaerilus rectimanus
Centruroides vittatus
Heterometrus spinifer
Leiurus Quinquestriatus
Lychas scutilus
Lychas mucronatus
Mesobuthus Martensii
Mesobuthus Tamulus
Parabuthus Transvaalicus
Pandinus Imperator

wah boss...tamulus also have : drools :

er.. reching adults in 2-3 moults. then i can find out their sex, then i can mate and sell those that i don need their my first desert scorpions.. very nice to watch their feeing venom is 5/5 though , not fun to disturb causes significant numbers of death a year in india. but it all happen in the rural area where anti venom is not readily available or hospitals r like damn far, so catully they won die, its because cannot ruch to hospital in time ~

nice, still have the yellow morph death stalkers?

yeah still ard.. waiting for it final moult very fat hiding all day long hhahaa

I'm really jealous of u people who can keep so many scorpies. My mom cant tolerate more than the mother and baby scorpies i have right now. I can't wait till my asian babies molt to 3rd instar. The pictures of them are so cute!
