My Heterometrus Spinifer Scorpling

*Sorry! I found that i posted in the wrong section, can anyone help to move this topic?*

Hi, I'm new here, from Malaysia
Nice to meet all of you
Here's some pictures of my scorpling
Hope you all will love it

30 July 2008 Found out that my scorpion was giving birth


9 August 2008 All of them molted into 2nd instar!
A few of them with molting problem, i helped them with tweezer dunked in water (The right one couldn't make it though)


The mom with freshly molted 2nd instar


10 August 2008 Found some of the scorpling started to leave the mom


11 August 2008 Rehoused all of them into a container



The skinny mom after rehouse


Eating



19 August 2008 Finally got my small container from a spaghetti seller
Preparing their individual container

Rehoused


This is L, a scorpling with injured tail



Thx for viewing

sweet man! welcome to the forum! those are some very sweet scorps you got there. "light might eventualy moult out of that deformety by the way. and you were lucky enough to catch mom givingh birth and see the scorps moult.

p.s some of the scorpling moults might have gone wrong cause it's quite dry in there, when they are babies and about to moult, it helps alot if the humidity is high.

Thread moved!

Great documentation of the whole process. You could post it again in our breeding reports section if you'd like.

Well done for helping some. But im sure if you had kept them on mums back *if thats where they were* they would have done it if the humidity had been bumped up. But whats done is done.

The scorpion with the deformed tail. How do you feed him/her? It it still able to sting its prey or do you head crush a cricket.
I have a telsonless pandinus imperator 3I and I have to kill its prey or it because obviously it cant crush its prey and it cant sting its prey

great pictures! and a great documentation

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks! I feed Light like how i feed the others
I crushed the head of mealworm and throw it in, they ll eat when they want to
I don't feed them with Pinhead because in Malaysia, it's very hard to get unless i breed it myself
I'm planning to breed Dubia roach, will get some nymph by Wed
When they stuck in their molt, i did raise the humidity, but after few hours its still stuck so i just helped them

Oh ya, in case u all are wondering, Light still can sting =p

your babies will be able to take live food and sting and kill their own prey. You no longer need to head crush for them.
From 2I with my pandinus babies and when they were no longer white, they manage food very easily.

Offer them live crickets. You will get a great show!

I knew that, but mealworm will burrow into the substrate so to prevent that i crushed the head
There was once i get a pinhead cricket when i bought bunch of adult cricket and threw in to one of them
It was a great show seeing it kill and eat the pinhead!
Anw, they can take adult cricket with their back leg removed?

they can take an adult cricket. live. with nothing removed.
They can handle it
Pin head crickets are too small for them really now to deal with. I never offered my little ones pin heads. When they were 2I crickets crushed until they were no longer white and then it was live food.
I give them small crickets, medium crickets and large crickets.
All have been handled well.

And by small I dont mean pin head sorta small. I mean just a small for its size cricket hehehe.
Mine normally have large crickets now unless the shop only have smaller or medium.

Alright, will get some cricket today!
Btw how long does it takes for it to turn to 3instar from 2i?

depends on the conditions. if it is nice and warm and humid it could be relitivley short.

I mean, roughly how long?
Their condition i can say, its good
They eat well and have enough moisture
Roughly around 1-2month?

Nice, dude! I'm actually becoming quite fond of them. I like the glossy claw look they have

RyoKenzaki, do you have that picture of that tribal scorpion that's in Light's pic by itself?

Sure, but its not my design anyway
I get it from google, im designing one after my exam next 2weeks
