New babies from Mike

My Uroctonus mordax scorplings came in today from Mr. Mordax (isn't it gonna be Dr. soon?). they're happy little buggers.

sweet little scorps ras. I'm surprised he let ANY go lol.

they look stunning i want some lol!!

I'm glad to hear they arrived safe and sound. Best of luck with them!

By the way, I wouldn't keep them together just yet, as I had some cannibalism when I left all my 2I in the same enclosure.

remember the "Judaicus Manor" I had set up for all those H. judaicus that Fauxshow sent me? I used them again so these guys are separate - never fear, I didn't forget proper husbandry when I left the net.

Grats Ras! I got mine today as well...active lil guys aren't they? Mine are all over their little containers...I'm gonna have fun with these guys. Let me know how you're keeping them. Mine are in tupperware containers with a stone in the middle for a scrape. Substrate is a mix of excavator clay30%/ sand 30%/coco fiber 40%. Temps are 80F and humidity is around 90% inside the container with the lid on. I know this is a bit warm for them, but it might help them mature a bit faster like the "hotbox" method Eddy describes. Thanks so much for these Mike...I see why you are so into these guys. I'm gonna go feed them and watch some more...later!

The containers

right now it's a mix of 2 different grinds of organic coco fiber. I need to sterilize another batch of my sand blend before I'm satisfied.



this is what the manor looked like set up with my Hottentotta judaicus scorplings

Those are great containers...what are they/were did ya get them?

they're stackable bead containers that you can find at hobby lobby in the jewelry isle. they're dirt cheap. I don't keep them stacked because I use the slots where the legs stack to drill the air holes

wo great new additions bro, lucky dawg...
I am looking forward on gettingf those at some point.

Those cubes sure do make great enclosures . I use them for my inverts as well, and they are CHEAP in cost.

I must look for some of those...my tupperware containers are ok, but I would really like something a) see-thru b) slightly smaller c) square instead of round. The name of the store is Hobby Lobby? Or would any craft place be likely to have 'em?

you could try any craft store - you could check out online craft stores too

On a side note...is that an Ibanez or Gibson ya have there Ras...or is that a Hamer! I can't see it well enough...we have another very important hobby in common...hence my screen name...I have a Spector and an Ibanez Soundgear run thru a SWR Super Redhead.

I'm gonna look for some of those boxes this weekend.

I only use Ibanez basses and Gibson/Epiphone guitars - I prefer Ampeg and Crate amps but I'm dying to try a Blackheart. that pic of from a show in Louisville, KY a couple yrs ago, best show in 11yrs of playing live music.

Haha...I thought I might be right...so is that an Artcore...or whatever they are called? I played live for 6 years...best time of my life! Woo hoo...we've totally train wrecked our own thread

sod the thread, who was paying attention anyways? it's the GAXB150, by far one of the best basses I've played. there is a short scale Epiphone SG bass at this pawn shop the next town over I might pick up - simply because it's an SG

I played a SG bass once...get it...the bridge is killer and they are super thin tiny neck....exactly...pick it up...simply because its an SG. I also have 2 custom Warmoth 5 strings that I had alot of fun with. Nothing has beat my Spector. I would love to get a Warwick Thumb...but hard to justiy 3K now that I don't play out.

I was!

You guys are making me wish I still had time to play . . . I used to love playing bass. Never got a chance to play with a band or anything, though . . .

those boxes look great! i use boxes that only cost £1.20 each and are big enough for most scorps!
