My scorps!

Cool lookin' additions.

As for humidity with H. paucidens, they like it really dry. Juveniles may need some extra moisture for molting and such (probably why the species is difficult to rear), but adults don't.

Thanx!
Actually i was getting 3 bjacksoni'es, but one of them died in a premoult, but atleast the normal did not die

yes i agree whit IHeartMantids i have a H.pauciden like yours.
nice addition.

Thanx!

I'm up at 16 scorpions now, but still want more!

sweet! are h.paucidens interesting scorps?

^90% of the time they're boring (like most scorps). I have a female that went on a "stuff my face" kick for a few weeks, so that was pretty entertaining.

They've got a lot of attitude for having such pathetic venom, though. They get pretty nippy. Also the only species I've been stung by.

Pretty cool scorpions i think!
And they are amazingly fast to be a "fat and bulky" scorpion!

Then i have ordered 11new scorpions, its possible i get a few extra scorps included tough

I just hope they dont get stopped at the customs

i love when they just start to eat alot

Some pictures from me again!

Enjoy!


H.paucidens:




Babycurus jacksoni:




Babycurus jacksoni "chocolate morph":

Scolopendra subsinipes mutilans:

hmmm why have some posts being erased so it looks like nothings being typed

hmmm, wondering on that too..?

hummm, where are my last pictures? that i posted last night?

Anyways, here's some pictures of the scorpions i got today!

0.0.2 H.tamulus sindicus:






1.1 Hadrurus spadix:

that H.spadix looks amazing im gunna have to try find one in the uk

hehehe.. there selling them at my local pet shop as h. arizonensis typical, for £12.99 each

wow id buy a few if i were you lol £13 is an awsome price lol

i payed 140dollars for an adult pair
And the female is gravid!
So i think its worth the money, pluss, they are impossible to get in norway, more difficult then androctonus sp!

0.0.2 H.tamulus sindicus:








wow..i was told to keep my H. tamulus sindicus on sand\gravel mix and dry...

its a 50/50 sand and soil, i think this is better, and gives the scorpion digging opportunity
And it looks a little better than just sand and gravel

Okay, i think this is a little wierd..
I have lost 7 scorpions, 3 of bad packaging, 2 the same day they did come, and 2 last night (one of canibalism, understand that) but, the rest o them, the 6 others.
A friend of mine thinks that they where dry'ed out, but i dont think so, because, i drip water i different places in their boxes every night, to prevent drying out.
in the room its about 25-28 celcius.
And the scorpions are eating and all that, so it think its wierd.

Is it just a typical scorpling phenomenon? or is it something i do, that ar wrong?

Sometimes scorps just die . . . with juveniles, it seems more common. It's probably just the weaker individuals that wouldn't survive well in the wild.

If you have strong ones surviving, you're keeping the captive gene pool healthy.

Okay, so its not my fault they are dying?
Beacuse non of my P.imp slings have died, non of them i have sold either.

If you're keeping them properly, then it's not your fault. Some species are known to have lower survival rates than others, too.
