from your post above i'll just quote the guys.



learn to show some common sense. then ask for help.

fuiyo...Kar's first essay in scorpion V2...

Rafiq: how big your hot hot? Instar? and how many ya got?

still got confusion over AFS and AES...

they're easily told apart just by looking at their pincers.

i posted pictures of AES pincers in the old thread. go see it lar...lol..

Rafiq: no need males to breed ma the hot hot. wait for it to grow then 1 hot=many hot...

ui....why so serious?

what up guys. been busy the pass few days.

Updates on the scutilus : havent got from supplier. should be done by next week. sorry for the long long delay...pai seh ah....

ok we need balthasar in here NOW!

well, he's one of the premier hardcore keeper along with a few others last time. now MIA already...

anyways, T's are easy to up keep and breed. Scorpions have short life spans, and most of them are small. when i say small, yes, they're SMALL...usually half a cm? which posts a lot of problems, like feeding ones and so on. Roaches and pin heads are not available all the time. it makes feeding a very hard chore especially if you have picky feeders. because of that, most of them are sold young. I2, I3. They wont survive long at the new owners. easier said then done. You can call your self a "hardcore" keeper bla bla bla if you have like 20 species. note the "you can call...." you can call your self anything. I'm superman. but like everything in life, making a statement and doing something is 2 whole diffrent thing.

No hard feelings to anyone, but if you're complaining, why not do it?

what i'm trying to say is not every species is like AFS. Easy to obtain and most already gravid when collected. and slings mortality rate is less then 5% each batch. thats why you see more AFS then any other thing. no one wants to bring in scorpions because they costs a bomb. wou you pay rm80 for a A. Australis, adult, wild collected and unknown age. well certainly i wont.

even local species, people thinks that its better to export them. heck Scutilus goes for bout US$25 each. why sell it for Rm30 when its so easy to export them?

these hobbies are slow growing ones. i remember when Rosea slings was rm50 each...ahhhhhh.....those were the days...Brachy slings all bout Rm1XX..now? rm30 also can get d...

wah...Jacksoni's are worth that much already?

scorpions breed at a much alower rate compared to T's and are much harder to manage because of their feeding habits. BJ's are ok. Their sling quite big no? 0.8-1cm?

slower means, like 1 year an average BJ can mate 3-4 times. 4x25 slings each time =100...T's 1 egg sack around there also? put the feeding habits and mortality rate in there? how many would survive to breed the next generation? thats what i mean by "harder to breed" also, you can guarantee 4 "sexy times" a year no?

you tried raising Tityus spp. slings?

EDIT: Rafiq wanna give some imput about the feeding habits of your tityus?

EDIT2: dint see your post there rafiq. Yes we saw wild ones before. mostly lioches spp. which is fairly if not VERY common, followed by lychas spp, like muchronatus and stuff, and AFS's. AFS found mostly ground level, which barks, like their names in barks, rotten trees, while lioches is guaranteed to be at most fallen tree trunks with peeling bark.

liocheles a lot...come frim and catch...or wan me catch and sell Rm10 anyone? essay so long...OMG...

the part where the sting comes in, i think the lychas spp. in malaysia packs quite a punch...can be fatal if you're allergic according to sting reports...


EDIT after reading essays: yes, in this line, greed always plays a far bigger role then all keepers put together.

also, its so hard to get them scuts. supplier also like "aiyah, got waiting list lar" "aiyah here raining lar" this and that. so i have to wait also. sorry to people that ordered..

those who has AFS babies, ever thought of putting a few back to where they came from?

yeaps. if you go on the right time/season, i day can get like 20 pcs no problem. lol...just have to tahan the nyamuk lar...they immune to insect repellent...

quack? quack quack quaaaaaaaaaack quack S. Maurus quack quack...

since they're slings quite hard lar...one way u can do is to let it dry out. minimal water. they can get enough to sustain life thru their crickets. so just leave them in dry tissue. a few molts after should be ok..

wierd...i never got so severe mite infection on my scorpions before. T's got lar...why? HHC donated the mites to you is it?

i use a lap top and my desk is too small to put any animals already...haha...how?

last time i used to put my desert species on my fridge during raining season...haha...keeps them warm and nice...

no sorry sorry...i give u BAD rating


hehe...nice rating system they have there....

yay! bad post war. come come...sounds fun...hahaha
