C.Vittatus, from Rasputin

Fool outdid himself, goign over the top with the packaging. Mine is embarassing compared to his.







Also my philosophy books came at th same time. yay

...i wonder if a load of scorpions could manage to survive a trip from the US to England...............

Anyhoo! what cute little dinks you have there. bless them! glad they made the journey ok
xxxx

I am confident that this specie would.
They are becoming my favorite for the sole reason that they don't need special care like super dry temps, or super high humidity, plus they can survive in those two.

............sweet...............

*ponders*

Closest smiley to pondering.

Sweet! Congrats on the new scorps

HAHA your packaging does suck I found 2 scorps wondering in the box. ANd i didnt have my Blacklight at the time

Shut up, yours isn't as good as his either.

those little boxes come in packs of 10 for a buck at the dollar store in the tupperware section. I bought them for housing slings but have taken to using them to ship scorps. did Bertha roll the tissue up like that? I laid it all out below the scorps just like when I got them and they didn't roll the tissues up then. I'm glad they arrived in good health. Mark's arrived yesterday which is funny because he lives in a small town in georgia that you can't overnight to and I sent both pckgs at the same time. unfortunately Mark hasn't been able to get online because he's been busy with his child.

I'm cheap but I pack good enough for them survive. And mines don't escape!!

I kept dreaming that this O. boehmi is going to show up post partruition this morning. damn postal service hasn't gotten her to me yet but she's in town.

Connie, a lot of us order from the EU all the time and scorps arrive fine and naturally extras are always thrown in to guarantee order survival so a shipment from here to the UK would make it fine and takes 6-14 days of travel.

Venom, what do you think of Bertha?

.....that is very interesting!
Im pondering and considering finding some scorps to order *must get some dosh first though*

Its nice to know a scorpion could spend upto 14 days travelling.
sweet!
Pretty freaking sweet!!!

They're all awesome. The males are very thin and long which adds coolness

that's weird, I've never had that happen. was the tissue still moist? guess I'll have to add more tissue next shipment to keep that from happening.

You guys try sending 2i bark scorpions and see if they don't escape!

that's a pretty good article. I prefer Vincents: http://www.exotics.nl/shipping/

regardless, our scorps are rehoused at our respective homes at this point so it's not a concern. the O. boehmi I got was actually packaged quite well

Lol, I re-used someone's packaging.
Is it fat?
Did you try to feed it?

you did see the pix of the I.macs I got right? they're shorter than the diameter across a dime and I had them sent to me by a kid whose first and only scorp gave birth so he didn't have a clue - I guided him through it and all arrived perfectly.

I have this undying urge to get some lil smokies and slather them in bbq sauce and I find burrowing scorps that are heavily gravid to resemble lil smokies and I just want to slather them in bbq sauce and chow down.

haven't offered her food, when was the last time she took food?

I've shipped 2I barks with no escapes.

Pics or it didn't happen.


and Rasputin, like in february, she ahs not accepted for a while.

I've sent 2I with no escapes. But with out little ones running around where would the fun be. Especially if its something medically significant

Nice scorps. I love communal species.
