I have the two other crickets running about and I think one is being eaten. I can slightly possibly see someone holding the cricket.
I will give them one more night and then out it comes for a few days

awwww its now a routine. Every night...at least after 10pm one of them, a male will come out and cimb ever so slowly the cork bark hide that is put up vertically. He loves it. He gets to the top and just sits there...then finally gets to the mesh on the side of the tank and then will walk along that...then back to the resting spot to hang out.
such great fun!

Only one out...the others hidden...as usual!

But hey! im not complaining! at least someone is out for me to watch!

we have a case of "drive your owner crazy" going on at the moment.
One of them has been out all day on the mesh at the back. Barely moving.
Legs actually in places seem see though with the light!!!
Adam nudged him. He ran off.
Been walking around tail up ready for a fight or standing there ready for a fight.
Acting very very strange!

this certain one is basically, nearly always out in the day time. Sat on some slate in a very agressive pose. im now starting to think this one is gravid. I did see the other one which was SOOOOO gravid but I did think it was 2 males and 1 female but im now thinking its the other way around!

This one is always out. Im SHOCKED when its not out.

Im gonna pop some food in tomorrow since last week they were not interested. meh. I have no idea who is alive in the tank. I presume all is well and happy!

eeeek. one dead. found him/her this morning. is the very same one that has been out and about a lot.
Saw the walking and movements getting slower and slower. old age I think.

My pandinus cavimanus has also died. great. how many more things eh?

Subject: Re: Caraboctonus keyserlingi 11/5/2008, 4:28 pm

Awwwwww, that sucks Sad

seriously, what's with all the death?

Subject: Re: Caraboctonus keyserlingi 11/5/2008, 8:01 pm

oh never connie. sorry to hear about that.

It's a shame thats the risk you take buying adult scorpions. Thats why I try to buy adults as breeding pairs so potentially I can keep the species a little bit longer Smile

i can sympathise, had a run of bad luck with imperators and cavimanus as well as many others (i've a rather large collection of various critters!)
sometimes you just have runs of bad luck...sometimes you can learn from it but it's crap when you can't figure out the reason.
one of my keyserlingi's died too, it was one of the first pair i'd got, the other having died a while back.
i still have three though, and one seems to be gravid. at least one likes to be out and about, but i am keeping them separate. this may change though.

Subject: Re: Caraboctonus keyserlingi 11/6/2008, 11:47 am

I think both deaths were just age related

Subject: Re: Caraboctonus keyserlingi 11/6/2008, 12:08 pm

Even so, that still sucks.
