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

What does it eat?

Veggies.

They eat decomposing leaf and wood. They also eat soft fruits and vegetables.

I use decomposing leaf and wood litter as substrate and i give them some beetle jelly and fish flakes in a bowl.

wooohooo
nice critters Scorpeace especially the dog!!
you should get some shots of your oscar you mentioned.
oscars are beasts man,seen em eat mice.

Thanks
Oscars are still juvenile so the largest they are able to eat are Blatta lateralis cockroaches.
Oscars will eat anything that fit in their mouths

I will never feed them any live animals except insects or fish tho.

i wouldnt either man.i wouldnt even feed my snakie a live mouse unless i had too.
oscars as in plural?jeez how big of a tank do you have?

I had 4. One got killed and now 2 of the oscars are ganging up on the other one so i guess that means they are a couple, wich is good, but not for the lonely one. So i have to move him to another tank. Now they live in a 72 liter tank but we have at least 10 tanks from 25-700 liters so we have plenty of space ;P

I completely agree with the snake thing. Allthough i wouldn't feed a snake live mice either because at some point they will always eat dead. All animals will, if they are hungry enough. I've seen a cow eat a dead rabbit, not because it was so hungry but because he was appearently lacking some minerals or something.

I got the shipment who was supposed to replace my first shipment from polyped today.
Not better.......

I got a scorp who was supposed to be 1.0 pandinus viatoris. It was not a pandinus viatoris neither was it a male...
The ootheca i got was moulded.

Anyone know what species this is?

Great news!
My male H. mysorensis is now able to open both of his claws again
My theory is that he didnt have enough energy to use the muscles in his claws.

After several weeks with high humidity and 23-27 degrees and an occasional cricket he seemed a little better. I thought to myself it could maybe be some kind of nourishment problem so I crushed a big fat cockroach and gave it to him.
He ate like his life was depending on it and the day after he was fully able to open his claws! Now he's back to pinching and crushing his prey.

I find this very interesting and actually hope I get a scorp who's unable to open his claws, so that I can test this theory.

Soon I will try breeding him with my female

Another update ^^
This time on the beetles.

Was gonna give a friend of mine some of my pachnoda marginata grubs, but it was harder than expected to find any grubs.
Almost all of them have made a cocoon ^^


My Eudicella aethiopica have also started making cocoons and to my excitement some of them have done it up against the sides of the container. Now I can see the whole transformation

This one had come pretty far already and has started getting legs and some color. A little hard to see cause he's in the corner but..


This one made the cocoon recently.

Got some new emps today along with 5 Holothele incei.

The emps were fighting alot and stung eachother. They went pretty crazy and I felt like I had to separate them. What should I do about? Do you think they will get used to eachother or what?

Pictures coming tomorrow

Sorry for the bad quality

Emps




Fight


Holothele incei 0.0.5






And a picture I shot of my budgy today

cool pics looks like those emps are really going for it there

Yeah, it was pretty sick Starting to think they are both female. And the paranoid part of my brain tells me maybe they are heterometrus spp who's not communal xD

Some new t's

0.0.1 Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 3,7 cm in legspan


0.0.5 Lasiodora parahybana 3,5-3,8 cm in legspan

So cute, even my girlfriend likes it!
-And she hates spiders

My phyllocrania paradoxa ooth hatched around 20 nymphs today :D:D

Aw wow they are ghost mantids right? Really want some of these my sister was babysitting some last month they are so cute love the way thy seem to turn there head and look at you

You should of seen like a minute ago when a fly was walking on the outside of the container, all the heads were following it, lol They're so cute They have a very low mortality rate too so this is awesome!!

Congrats! I like mantids, but don't like keeping them.

Haha, thanks

Why not? Because of their longivety?

Yeah. Delicate little things. I pretty much only keep things from the desert.

Depends on what species you get. I find most of them extremely easy to keep Only downside is that they dont live long. They are very productive tho

2.2.2 Polyspilota aeruginosa - Madagascan marbled mantis arrived today after 8 days in the mail. One had actually molted!





My Phyllocrania paradoxa got their first meal today too and all ate like crazy. That container is fruitfly hell
