New pics of my H.Arizonensis

My girlfriend decided to play around with her camera and my H.Arizonensis was the only one of my critters out...

Nice desert hairy you got there. How big is it?

Its about 4inches or so.

Woke up this morning to find that he has passed away. Ive noticed for the last week or so he has seemed really sluggish, nonaggressive, and was dragging his tail.

Awww...Well at least you got some good pics of him before he died.

That sucks, I have one too about the same size im always paranoid that hes sick or whatever cause his tail is not always errect, its sometimes turned sideways, but i think thats normal?

You ever find out cause of death?

What temperature do you keep yours at, Roblicious? Mine would behave like that if it didn't have enough heat.

I have one of mine in a medium sized kritter keeper, so I am unable to get a heat mad or light for it fear of melting, he is at room temperature but my room is normally warmer then that.

I am planning on getting him a glass enclsoure though in the future.

The pet store I got him from has 2 of them in little plastic cup containers and they have been there for a while lol.

I asked in the general forum why his tail is like that

I guess its normal, but if its straight back flat then its bad

Those pictures are great man, the camera must be immense, nice looking scorp shame it had to die

Yeah its definitely a shame but at least I got, or rather my girlfriend got, a few good pics before he died. And Roblicious, no I never did find out the cause of death. Im just going to assume old age because I kept the conditions right.

Yeah im worried about mine too, when I get home Ima put my infrared lamp near it kritter keeper but yeah Ive had mine for a month or so now, it looks like its doing fine lol

I thought yours was sub adult? looks the same as mine, but I always thought it got a little bigger? How long did you have it for?

I had it about 6 months. It may have been another cause though because I came home from school to find that my V. Spinigerus died too.

damn 2 dead?

I had 3 for. soon A year now and they live in plastic boxes standing in the living room floor. And they are doing. just great. I guess we have around 23 -25 c. Sorry for your. Loss though

Amazing pix, and def sorry to see the thread change pace to such bad news! Hopefully you can get another one soon! Good luck Bro! Tell your girl she takes great pix too!
