congratulations on a new V! Long live the scorpions!

scorpion tails are only cut off of scorpions that will be made into delicacies to be eaten... To keep as pes, nobody cuts them off wan lar.

Wah ryo~ You really make me want a scorpion again. Maybe I'll take one or two if I go to wangsa maju.

I plan for the future ma! The scorpions will have a nice big enclosure to themselves when they grow up. If ot, they will only have small small place to live lo. Can you sex a baby scorpion?

Come la neshie, we go his house together, and sneak one or two into our pockts while we're there.

1-1.5ft when adult. AFS actually don't move much. My AFS back then, Clip, used to be in the same position, under the log, EVERYDAY.

Well, all they have to do is stay there and look cool right? Hehehe...

Since they're scorpionling, no need so big lo. Ryo keeps them in a tau foo faa container!

Yeah, passed away just a few weeks ago. Sigh... The fella just resurfaces whenever it wants to eat. Otherwise it'll be in substrate or pretending to be a rock in the corner or something. So now got a nice big empty tank again. We christened him Pinch btw. It was a really good experience, keeping it.

My bf and I kinda dried it after it died and used it as decoration in my bf's room. Look so much like it was alive.

@Neshie: Keep it under the bed or in your cupboard la. Hehe... I'm planning to keep mine near my com in my com room. Nobody will notice. Hehe...

Wahahaha. If you really got then bring la! Ryo will sponsor battery!! Hahahaha. Anyway, I agree wif neshie. most typical chinese families don't like poisonous or dangerous pets. Which is why there was a lil problem when my old AFS got discovered and also when we brought our ally snapper home.

Ryo, I know one place where I can keep and you cannot check. Be prepared to find 10 scorpionlings missing. Hahaha. Kidding la. One or two only la.

If can sex I want 2. If cannot sex I want 1.

@Andernya: Ryo's room is actually quite tiny. After his bed, only left 1 narrow space to put his table and laptop. And yeah, AFFS can hold. Their poison is just really painful when stung, provided you are not allgergic, it can't kill you. Ad AFS like to pinch with their pincers rather than sting.

Neshie, Ryo is their keeper mar. You provide microscope. He will handle the baby and check lo. wahahahaha.

So ander, you coming a not? 3 person can thrash up his place much easier. And AFS is really simple and safe to keep. Always maintain a respectful atitude when handling them. Then everything ok lo.

@Abe: how do you keep 30 of those boxes in your room and your parents don't find out about what's in it?

His button mushroom is cute! 5 ppl squeeze in his tiny room... Lucky ryo small size.

And yeah, first time a scorpion (my Clip) climb on my hand, it was really exciiting.

Ryo, you sex tomorrow ah. Hehe...

Aiyah, basically warm and humid is good for scorpions lo. Nesh, bring microscope ya. Ryo will sex tomorrow! We'll have fun watching an expert at work.

Dumbo, expert, they are both eye openers and a good experience. just kidding.

Nez, just keep in your cupboard. I'm sure your dad won't check there. My AFS used to live in the cupboard.

Ryo is self promoting. Everyone look away!

Anyway nez, last time I keep in the cupboard. It survived just fine inside for 2 years. We only open the cupboard when we wanted to see it or was feeding it or misting it. Basically want or need. Otherwise it stays inside no probs. The room was air conditioned also. But in the cupboard remain quite warm. Cupboard will be ok.

Ventilation is when we open the cupboard lo. We stick a thermometer in the tank I used to keep Clip in just in case it was too warm or too cold but it was always in the right temperature zone. As long as we don't leave the cupboard door open too long when the air cond was on.

But many people consider scorpions as bugs right. Bugs are insects?

Whenever I hear people talking about bugs, it could mean spiders or the like.

Guy: That bug is poisonous ok. Becareful.
Me: What bug? *looking everywhere but the scorpion*
Guy: That scorpion la.
Me: =.=" Scorpions are anthropods. They're not insects.
Guy: Still a bug la.

How you wanna teach a guy like that? That was a real conversation.

Ryo... You are grandfather to 30 scorpionling and you dunno if your scorpion is anthropod or arachnid?

arachnid is anything with 8 legs la.

A lil OT butt, an arachnid like spiders have 8 legs. An anthropod like scorpions have 6 legs and pincers. Crabs have pincers and 6 legs. What are they? Arachnids or anthropods?

ryo, soldering irons is for wat?

i'm only testing to see what kinda answers come up. hehe...

Huh? I use a large tank and DIY a top dy (since it belonged to my old Clip and Pinch after Clip and now your scorpionlings. )

BTW my friend muchan is coming too.

Actually all are girls. Muchan is a girl All are girls besides you.

It's not in my house at the moment. Since it got empty, I moved it to my bf's place. (he stores my pet stuff i don use anymore. ) So if I go to his place with a camera I will show you lar.
