[Sharing] WHO MOLTED TODAY? (Post molting pics here!)

Thanks for the premolt photo of your haddy. It's a good reference for the rest of us keeping
this species. Did you do anything special with temps or humidity to help with the molt?

emm,, i keep just like my others desert sp, rarely mist the enclosure because the humidity here at my house (Malaysia) is close to 70%. but i mist the bottom of the tank sometimes just to make sure her burrow doesn't fall down. i used exotetra red sand about 3-4 inches. and good ventilation for sure. i'm afraid the humidity will kill her, as it's very sensitive to humidity. my scorps' rack is near to window, that'll increase the temp little bit in the morning, just in the morning.

Christmas molt!
A. bicolor just hit 5i. So for this one it was 45 days from 4i to 5i. My other one is 2 molts behind,probably due to couple of degrees lower temperature.

My tripod is still with lost parts so couldn't take an ideal pic, but so far looks like GS is right, I can clearly count 21-22 pectines, probably the total count is aroung 25-26, so it would be a male.

The long awaited molt finally happened:

Iurus dufoureius asiaticus 4i:

Thats sweet, sitting here looking at premolt pics and then pics of the molt and the fresh scorpion, theyve got to feel restricted on that old exoskeleton. Kinda like putting on the tightest pants and shirt you could find and hitting the local all you can eat food joint.

Sweet post bro!
If your A.bicolor male is short of a female just let me know.
Should be just nice.. a fresh adult female when yours is ready.

& that Iurus dufoureius asiaticus... sure look delicious

Hopefully I'll be lucky enough for my other bicolor to turn out to be a female. I think I need one more molt to be able to get a good pectine count with my camera.

Here some pics of it after reaching 4i, a days after the first one molted to 5th.

True ^^ but one just cant wait to feed it get your license and buy a Leiurus quinquestriatus from me this summer

Usually Hot babes get free things or in this case free scorps! Don't they? Lolz just kiddg

Back to topic, it's a nice shot & capture Will3.

There are ppl who fancy them for their venom level but seriously.. they are one of those with really nice colorings and unique markings on their carapace

I fancy them more for the size and coloration.

Keep them at around 25c and give water 2 times a week, ive got 7 of them

7 is a very good number to breed a specie from 2.instar.
Keep up e good work and do keep us posted as well Will3
