Setting up

Brilliant way to house the babies. I always enjoy home pics like these.

PS Where can I get a Lychas mucronatus like that? They are absolutely beautiful.

So awesome, loving those scorps.

If you ever have babies with any of these and are selling, let me know!

THey are awesome!!!! Really cool. I have a hunch somewhere down the line you're going to get some other Andros too

Btw! STOP BITING YOUR NAILS!

NO, ITS A LIFE STYLE NOT A HABIT!

Love the colouring on the L. mucronatus. Please do post new pics when you get in housed

How big are the compartments for your slings? I need to get something similar for my B. occitanus slings.

Ummm, I believe they are 1 1/2 inches by 3 inches each compartment, or a lil smaller, I have 2 of these boxes for slings and 1 larger screw box I use as well for larger slings. They work real well, the walls are tight to the lid so no letting the slings climb into the other compartments.

15e... well worth the price, specially if they're adults and ready to breed.

L.mucronatus are sperm storers aren't they? i know there gestation can be as short as 3 monhs thats awesome

Alex did a really good write up if anyone is intereseted...

What do you mean by "spermstorer"? I've heard M.martensii's gestation is around 3-4 months too. Hopefully I'll find soon a couple of females..my males are feeling lonely in the big tank, lol.

that they can store sperm and have multiple brrods off one mating

It's called Iteroparous reproduction when the female stores the sperm of the male. Lychas mucronatus is definitely one of the species that possesses this capability.

See, he is pro. I have already been searching arachnoboards for streets alter pro ego there

LOL

cool now i want one even more lol

not yet found though, ill get you, sooner or later

I doubt it Sam. I creep in the shadows...

Good thing I reside there too... so that makes us neighbours, neighbours share sugar.. even better neighbours their secrets.. Right? Neighbour :-)

You know a lot more than you share, I'm really curious.. There is like 5 or 6 people that really know what they re saying there and everywhere (with knowledge about all scorps).. you are one of them.

Me not included because I'm an amateur

I'm an amateur as well sir Pluto. I just know some things about some stuff, and share when I do!
