QUOTE(Balthasar @ Jul 26 2006, 02:02 PM) Only emperors are big...and those from that genus...but after a while u will surely agree tat all black is kinda boring hahaha slow2 la...later advance level, then only find those colourful and deadly one There will be some P.viatoris if u are interested...red claw emperor tat is. But not communal lor... Emperors, maybe near future got la...unless u wanna join my shared order again...heheh...mahal lor...but guarantee got wan lor hehe ...p.viatoris big or not?...can grow like p.imperator?...nice color but how much izzit?...and for p.imperator, define "mahal" (estimated price)...p.cavimanus also look nice...and my favourite for now is hadogenes paucidens...nice greenish scorp...This post has been edited by AremyrZ: Jul 26 2006, 02:34 PM |

QUOTE(Balthasar @ Jul 26 2006, 03:25 PM) Erm mahal ar...about 50bux like tat lor...planning for a US wan...so shud cost about 12USD lor...not confirm la...P.viatoris $$ not confirm yet la...not as big and docile as imperators...will nip u if he can... btw, if i'm getting one, planning to get a juvie/sub-adult...dowan scorpling...later when u can get estimated price for those sp, inform me la...My personal thinking. Big scorp = Lazy + Hardly use stinger + Slow = After sometime...BORING. Small scorp =Fast + Always use stinger + Aggresive + Colorful + Unique behaviours = Interesting... (I mean Centruroides spp., Scorpio spp. only) I like aboreal species...very interesting to keep and watch. Diggers are hard to see after a while... My personal thinking. Big scorp = Lazy + Hardly use stinger + Slow = Good for beginner like me/After sometime...BORING...yes, but maybe by that time i've already got this: Small scorp =Fast + Always use stinger + Aggresive + Colorful + Unique behaviours = Interesting... |

hehehe...the p.murinus, h.maculata, h.lividum, h.albostriatum & p.regalis that i handled last time, all happened unintentionally...either i was forced to (they escaped) or my reflex was too slow that they managed to crawl up my hand during tank cleaning...some even got to crawl up onto my head...

...asking for expensive and hard to get sp when our own and cheap sp is available |

QUOTE(Jysw1986 @ Sep 13 2006, 01:27 PM) if u impatient, go buy adult one lor. cost rm30+ only... but then, u wont have the excitement to see it grow from young. start from small. i'm just impatient la...not money waster...like i dont the value of money...thats why i ask for juvie and not adult...i still want to see it grow but i'm not as "sentimental" as u all ...summore nowadays i'm a bit lazy...spiderling or scorpling need more attention than juvie or adult...i just want to skip the "special treatment" that i have to give to those hatchlings...This post has been edited by AremyrZ: Sep 13 2006, 02:03 PM |

tried the pre-killed crix...no response from the scorplings yet...nvm, i'll try to give them the jumping legs first, see if they'll eat it or not...given them hides/shelter, i think they are comfortable already (they dug a burrrow)...
