RIP Lost our B.burmeisteri today Sad he has never really been right and has never even eaten funny thing is he came with the c.keyserlingi we got from martin which also was never right and died a few weeks ago Sad

on closer inspection of this guy his pectines are cleary damaged/half gone.... any ideas how or why this would be?

like i said he has always been very sluggish which always made us think something was wrong as these guys are meant to be quite feisty from what ive read...also we didnt really expect him to last more than a day as when he arrived we initially thought he was dead as he had tail dead flat and remained like this for a few days then he picked up a bit but never fully came alive kinda thing Sad

Aw, that's too bad Bex. Something is definitely not right there, but as to what it is, I couldn't say.

Sorry for your loss.

It's a cool little beast to be sure. Do the pectines look rotted off, or more like rubbed off?

Sorry to see that happening!
I can only imagine the pectines getting eaten away by crickets when she died?


He might have been old?

Make sure you empty the cage first if you do, even devoid of imperators, or it will eat them.. take a Villosus, good match for an imperator Viking

Ah right. The horned baboons are very cool.

What scorpions are generally very feisty?

I have just lost my Paleochelcotonus pauliani from Martin. Only had it a couple of months. Again like your Bothriurus it arrived acting a liitle dodgy. It ate maybe a couple of times but never seemed a 100%. When I found it I noticed that 3 of it's spiracles looked weird. They had a yellowy coloured cap kind of thing on them. Not a clue what it was and I have never seen it on a scorpion before. Not sure whether it was because I hadn't checked under it's hide for a few days and it was some kind of mold. Any suggestions lol?

So don't buy from bugsuk?

Yeah my p cav is pretty psycho. He will jump into defence at the slightest thing. I seem him attack leaves he was walking on. Got himself a temper. Still hasn't ate anything. Just kills it. Looks like he's getting fat so probably due a molt?
