Scorpeaces' Collection. Update: 13/12/2011 Surprise batch of scorpions!!

There we go. Can you see them now?

Update
Haven't gotten any of the t's or scorpions yet. I really hope i get them tomorrow so they don't have to stand in the post office over the weekend!

I got 20 Pachnoda marginata peregrina larvaes and some milkweed bugs tho..
So now i have alot of feeder animals but noone to eat them Except my Oscars ^^

A list of the species i keep at this moment:

Tarantulas: Grammostola Pulchra
Scorpions: None

Food:
Milkweed bugs
Pachnoda marginata peregrina - Beetles
ALOT of Blatta literalis - Cockroaches
ALOT of buffalo bugs. Don't know the scientific name but they look like mealworms but alot smaller.

yes very nice! Nice setup. Love the labrador/retriever too, looks like a seal.. we got one just like it!

Thank you

She's actually a mix of dax and labrador

A better pic of her


As puppy



Cutest thing ever

she is! Never saw anything like it.

Yaaaay!

My scorps have arrived! 1.2 H. mysorensis, 0.2 H. swammerdami, 0.3 P. cavimanus:)
Also I purchased a P. metallica

Some pictures:

1.0 H. mysorensis


0.1 H. mysorensis


0.1 H. swammerdami (the other one was much bigger).


0.1 P. cavimanus


And the tarantula I've been drooling after for years:
POECILOTHERIA METALLICA!




Still a juvenile but already started to get the nice colors:)

SO happy right now

Thanks, i will


Molts and other updates on my pokie will be in This Thread

First feeding of my new scorps!

0.1 H mysorensis eating a Sun beetle larvae

0.1 H mysorensis eating a blatta lateralis cockroach


My female swammerdami also got a sun beetle larvae but she dissappeared into her cave before i could take a picture!

This mysorensis was too busy trying to escape



The male mysorensis wont open his claws and when i gave him his larvae he just started punching it. It looked like it wanted to kill it but it couldn't! Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

POLYPED.DE is the worst dealers i have ever dealt with!!

My shipment of 1.1 hierodula membranacea and 1.1 pandinus viatoris was the worst i have ever seen.

Both mantids were dead and very bad packaged and one scorpion was missing!!!

Luckily one scorp was still alive...

Horrible packaging...


No scorp..

0.1 Pandinus viatoris


Do anyone know how big viatoris are when they're fully grown?

that's bad packaging
was that it?
they were left to float round?

i guess about the size of average emperors :L

No, they were in a cardboard box with bubble plastic too. But the mantids only got a strip of paper in their plastic box, as you can see in the picture. They most likely got shook to death...

This blows

Lame. I'm sorry man.

My milkweed bugs are breeding like crazy now



I THINK the buffalos were excited to get some beetle jelly ^^


And a picture of my ferocious H. swammerdami female. I'm going to get a male for her in a couple of weeks



I got a ghost mantis ootheca in the mail today. Will update the progress with it in this thread!

Dude those Milkweed bugs live here. They are EVERYWHERE during the summer. You can find colonies of literally thousands of them crawling all over each other. Nothing will eat them either. I tried to feed them to my black widow. She just ties them up and drops them into the bottom of the tank. My house got infested by those one time. It was worse than cockroaches. Do not let them escape!!!!!

Actually the ones here are Boxelder bugs. They look almost identical, but aren't the same.

That's what I thought when I saw them, I was like, hey! I know those bugs LOL

Yeah. I was like "WTF! why would someone keep those!?" the boxelder bugs are gnarly.

The 1-4i's are actually GREAT food and all my animals take them in a heartbeat. Even my oscars loves them. The adults tastee like [doodoo] tho.

They are very good feeder animals for mantids because they climb everywhere :spidey:

I think the milkweed bugs and the boxelder bugs are closely related. They are both called "teger" in Norway.

Actually i would not mind keeping them so if anyone would like to catch some for me and tell me what they eat i would happily pay for the postage and handling

Recieved some more bugs today!
0.0.04 Spirostreptus gregorius - African olive millipede adults
0.0.06 Eudicella aethiopica - Giant metallic beetle grubs
0.0.12 Smagdethnes africana oertzeni - Purple jewel beetle grubs
0.0.15 Therea petiveriana - Domino cockroach. Many DOA's

Can anyone tell me wich species of spirostreptida this is?
Picture

EDIT: Found that the species name is actually Spirostreptus gregorius

Not sure what species it is but WOW!

Beautiful huh? I'm not really a millipede fan but i thought these were awesome.

Never owned millipedes before so this could be fun:) Planning on breeding them

I found that the species name actually is Spirostreptus gregorius!

Handling one of mine:


Bad picture and light..
