emperor scorpion general chat and care

i'll try get some pics tommorow.

yeah, it's finished it's cricket so i'm happy.






and I froze one of the boxes i've got the scorps in cause there were alot off eggs in the substrate. mites, I think.

You can't see mite eggs with the naked eye.

Checking on my juvie mordax recently, I've noticed that baby scorpion poo could easily be mistaken for arthropod eggs (small, white, spherical).

I nuked my P. cavimanus substrate once when I found a bunch of cricket eggs in it.

Edit: What Connie said about sting-free scorps surviving to adulthood, I have a friend with a subadult emp that lost its telson to a tankmate when it was 1I or 2I, and is still doing good.

that's good to hear, but they definetly look like some kind of eggs.... not sure. yeah i'm sure stumpy will make it to adulthood, he's one hell of a feeder.

nah, they aren't cricket eggs.

one of the lil' scorps was moulting today, I went up to check on him, and his left arm was missing. the whole thing. I don't know how this happened.... anyway he's dead now. I think he bled to death... he's lying limp with tail flat out. oh well, I guess not everyone survives.




GODDAMN IT! what is with all the death, seriously? wtf?

I hope so.

i hope its over really soon coz i dont want to loose my lil tarantulas aswell...
omg!! i havent got ANY emps!!!! damn!!!

I still got 9 left! MUHAHAHAHAHA!



awwwwww.... just remebered I had like... 19.


ah well.

its totally normal. I have a Iomachus politus *she so teeeeeny* and she has only had one cricket, one small cricket since I got her. She just isnt interested at the moment. I keep popping one in every other week but still she not interested.

They like to do this to us so we spend money on the crickets and then they dont eat and we lose the money when they all begin to die *hehe*

- The scorpions are Conspiring against us.

Any updates on the young ones?
How many are left?

Lol

this thread was from a few years ago. I have 2 left now, both 5i. 2 females, I think.

Hello, my name is William and I recently got a Flatt Rock Scorpion. I have tried looking up care and what to use as bedding and have gotten confused from some of the different articals I have read. One says one thing and another something different. So I was wondering if some one could give me a few pointers on the best set up for my scorpion. I have a 10 gallon tank with sand and some earthy wood and dirt that came with it. But I have been reading mixed things about how to set it up right. I have read that it has to me moist earthy material and I have also read that it has to be sane and to make sure it is not humid and to spray the tank lightly only once every week or so. So I am not sure the right way I should do it. Any help would really be appreciated thank you.

I sent you a Personal Message William.
