I'll be babysitting sanhuey's baby scorp for awhile... who knows? maybe I might find a liking towards them

too bad the one I like the most is the deathstalker...

Yeah.. haven't seen him in awhile.. very pretty scorpions, he has. he's at ghettoherpers.com too though...


Beardies!! eek!! I like them hypo ones... but they're all so cute

hmm.. do we have garter snakes or smooth green snakes? I'm trying to look for snakes that don't have to eat vertebrates...


Hehe. welcome! Alex is so cute. naughty fella.

NZX, your nails look manicured..

oh yeah... there's a scorpion on his hand...

lol. tht is a pretty scorp


wht's wrong with being metro?

lol. those are great nails! much better than my chewed up ones...

ok. I'll stop now.

lol.

I don't fancy metros as boyfriends all tht much... I don't spend alot of time "pampering" myself or standing in front of the mirror

whoa!! tht's such a neat looking scorp!!! why must the pretty ones be vicious?

ahh... tht explains why I'm so docile

next week I'll be able to join this group

scorpion keeper group....

sanhuey getting for me.
yeah.. MAlaysian forest I think... green colour

I want... but expensive. I prefer Ts

you could just cup it into a container. I do tht with my spiders... except I use a flower pot.

got a me a cute lil Heterometrus Spinifer. It's about 4.5cm from the tip of the pediphalps to the stinger.



The enclosure: I attempted to make the false bottom thingy with 1.5cm of gravel and ~4cm of substrate... with a slope down to some rocks... I inserted 2 tubes at 2 corners but now I only have one because the lil bugger is quite good at scaling... used a plastic cactus pot as a hideout. quite comfortable for a lil scorpion.




It managed to scale the water droplets on the wall of the tank and was hanging upside down on the lid... got it down safely, wiped the tank's wall clean but it's still attempting to climb... any suggestions to keep it from climbing? :? I'm not sure what the humidity is because I don't have a metre... but the substrate's pretty damp.

how high of a fall can a lil scorp like mine withstand? I'm more worried if it fell on the rocks so my best bet is tht it doesn't climb...

oh yeah... the scorpion has been named ---- Devlin

truth be told.... I want more pets so that I can make more enclosures

isn't it too small for a water dish?

hmm... i'll switch to the yogurt cover then.... they won't down? how much water do i put?

I wouldn't want my Devlin to die

yup... tht is a beauty

same here

spiders, like scorpions, have venom. They're more alike than you think.

A Tarantula's price, also like a scorpion's, would vary with the species. The more common species would be cheaper while species that are harder to come buy, would be more expensive.

Like scorpions, tarantulas should be provided an environment that they're species are native to however most tarantulas are more than happy with peat, coconut husk, vermiculite or combinations of those. It's just the matter of how dry or how damp.

The tools needed when rearing a tarantulas would be the same tools you'd use when you rear a scorpion. A forceps would come in handy.

My scorpion and my tarantulas are in the same area, they use the same substrate, the same kinda of hideout, the same spoon (for nudging), the same forceps, the same kind of food, the same kind of water....

so yeah.

nonono. I didn't mean that. The tanks are in the same area meaning that they get the same temperature, ventilation and lighting.

can i have some? I'll make spicy stir-fried scorps

can. no prob

edit: I'm hungry.... now I just have to get him out....
