xxxx

They are doing great. Two of them didn't make it but the rest are eating quite well.

updates? been quite some time!

Wow how did I miss this one. Nice report very well done. A ScorpionForum original? or is it on other forums?

It started on the scorpoforum but was moved when this forum was started. There is also and old outdated one on AB. ScorpionForum gets the exclusive.

Cool might wanna copyright this just to keep it here . I might just lock this split the thread from any comments and lock the report itself. Might use this as an example of a good report if you don't mind.

Anything to help this forum.

I have some more updates. Should I edit the breeding report of just post it here?

Edit the breeding report.

(First try posting a reply; if it doesn't let you, then edit it -- I'm not sure how we fiddled with the settings for the breeding report forum.)

Ughh I think he cant reply. I would edit and make a note that you edited it.

Check out my updates in the breeding report section. Let me know what you think.

3I already? That's awesome!

Yeah that one is a power house. I would expect the rest to come around soon. They are all pretty fat. I misted the enclosures last night to help them out.

i hope i wouldnt be considered hijacking your thread, i didnt want to create a new topic just for one question so here goes.

i recently got a few Het. Spinifers from a friend. They're 5 months old and according to her, they're 3rd instars. Now the question is, is it normal for 5 month olds to be 3rd instars only or did she possibly make a mistake?cuz i've been keeping an eye on your posts and your babies are 3rd instars in a month.

hmm what i meant was they are ALREADY 3rd instars accordin to my friends who sold them to me.... but they are already 5 months old. my question is, is it normal for 5 month olds to only be 3rd instars since the topicstarter babies are 3rd instars in only a month

....I dont know. As your friend knows they are 3rd instar then I guess its just a waiting game for when they hit 4th instar but it can take them 6-7 moults to reach adult hood and each moult taking longer and longer.

Im rambling. Im sure Mike or Eddy or anyone else can give you the correct answer

The main difference here is you have forest scorpions, Liette. The original breeding report was for a species of bark scorpion, which generally develop quite fast. Forest scorps are medium-paced when it comes to growth.

Thank you. =)

Yeah they take much longer to grow than these guys do. I'm sure 3I for 5 months is perfectly normal. I don't expect these guys to hit 4I for at least a few more months. That would put them over 5 months.
