I inherited my fren's pet scorpion 2 days ago.



Can anybody identify da species and whether its male or female? And it eats about 1 cricket evy 2-3 days. Is this fine? Its size is about 3.5 inches.

As u guys remembered im quite new here. Just inherited my fren's AFS for a week plus. Its about 3 inch in size. Its behaving kinda erratically. Its leaning itself to da aquarium glass n try to climb out (although he cant). He ate one mealworm ytd. Dun think he is still hungry. What are the signs that my AFS will molt?

besides that, anybody kind enuf to give me another AFS to keep my single AFS from being lonely?

Only pic i hav is here




Not that big. My fren had it for close to a year. Size is roughly 3 inches, length from head to just before the tail is 5cm.

Do AFS burrow? Im planning to change the substrate since one senior told me not to use wood shavings. Not to sure which place sells all the items needed for the substrate under one roof.

Besides that, are scorpions pretty blind? Sometimes i would drop a cricket or mealworm in front of him and he wouldnt know. All da time when he ate, I had to use my tweezer, shake it in front of him n then kacau the mealworm to make it jump a bit, and when it touches him then only he would pincer da bugger n eat it.

hmmm does that means i gotta pretty much feed him? I made a hidden bowl inside da substrate, where da mealworms cant climb out. But if scorps r blind, I dun think they will even go inside that bowl n check out da worms there.

Bro s98432512,
You have any AFS for adoption?

How often do we need to change the substrate? Since scorpions dun exactly poo. Just remember to pick up da empty carcasses of da crickets n mealworms.

Do AFS burrow? If they do, then coco fiber a bit hard for them to burrow isnt it? besides that, coco fiber a bit loose, if any mealworms gets free, it will crawl in all those loose spaces in da coco fiber bedding.

Anybody kind enuf to share pics of their AFS houses back home? Maybe can get some ideas
