misterm16ge's communal arizonesis (viv pic, adult m/f movin into viv on 8 26 11)

and! i want my brown scorpion back! it looked like a brown androctonus mean and vicious... middle east/ northwest africa... i looked at some pics and it don't look like it...

yeah LoL ... 25 feet is high ... but the concrete viv would be cool in shinning's annex room even 6 feet would be excessive? i found the h.arizonesis content with 1 feet territory of their preference and some to explore(like soldiers maintaining a firebase )

6 meters is almost twenty feet there bro.

Maybe you can use a combat boot as a hide inside of a normal viv?

+1 a like button like fb would be nice

Uhhhh... So, I'm trying to understand clearly what you are suggesting. A concrete zoo style viv that is six feet high with a combat boot inside it? Like a Lion cage for scorpions with a boot inside it for a hide?

yes he wants to fill a viv with cement and make pre made burrows in the cement and also have a boot in a different viv for a hide.

very innovative ideas.

very stylish.

very natural.

very cool.

- infinite

i regret selling you the c.sculpts and viv.consider it even.

If you need help setting up a proper enclosure for your scorps, just ask. I am in the Phoenix area, I would be willing to come help you in person, craft a nice setup for them if you need it. Maybe Shining will come drink a couple beers?

yeah dude im down.lets pimp that viv out!

wth double post?

Make sure you get the right cement mix, there are types that expand a bit and learn how to check the slump of it for forming purposes.
If you're serious about making one first figure out how you are going to make the forms to make the design you want unless you just want to make a bi level type thing with a few different pours over a few days.
I work with concrete everyday btw just poured a bridge deck and both abutment ends for a major roadway in my home city and spent 13 hours today making barrier forms along the side of it which sucked in +31C heat

more guidance plz, chrome! when i looking around the concrete aisle at homedepot there was lye?!? NAOH is bad.

are there scorpion-unhealthy scorpion concrete mixes?

dang man thats hard work. i am happy i do it as a side job. i know nothing of construction, but i follow what i am told. i am good with my hands.

Try grout for tile.

You don't concrete, just bring over some play sand and clay, whatever is in your cage currently, should be fine, also bring over a couple ceramic flooring tiles if you have them and maybe a slab of cork! We should be set with just that, please no cement!

Cheers,

Rob

concrete viv is similar to toilet paper viv. but much more spacious. imagine a 3inch wide 6 meter tall, filled with excavator, concrete maze molded square. inside wall is wall is glass, pocketed with vent/prey feed entry points. switch actuated uv lights. rheostat heat. ventilation fans, rubber/dynamat to stop vibration. timed lighting. so imagine stepping inside the square. naturally it's wts haddy wants but the concrete viv is not your preference. and i understand

call me retad it's okay. large brown scorpion was more than content in just a combat boot no every1 has retard experiences, retard nostalgia or retardation in general. eventually we will all get "sane"

you are cool, but weird in my book but i understand your position ... well if you convince me, a combat boot is more imprisoning than an aquarium, i'll change my disposition

my large brown scorpion left... but it was free to leave... did it really just leave?

...yes chrome you treat the slings like sluts. but! the sibling eaters are more resilient!? Darwinism? i was heart broken to give to you "albino", shining ... he's tough he's an eater! but i am know he is in good hands part of me wants to laugh at the weak one, it died from a heart attack in transit ...

shining, pluto and others, you are my "good talking to" and i am happy to know it's a free forum

if we are doing horrible, i'd like the supervision now too!

Hmm, everything ok dude?

On a more serious note, I'd love to see a big tank, with concrete or clay burrows from top to bottom. Make sure the glass you put it in, is strong enough to withstand the pressure of those 1000s of pounds of weight if you make it 6m high.

THis is what you're trying to do right? Otherwise I dont understand it... at all. But ok, dazzle us.

Actually the grout idea is a good one too, you can get some pretty solid grout mixes and then making the makeshift forms for your in tank designs would be much easier since you could just sculpt it to the right shape and use foam to keep it until it dries.

the idea is dazzling! the concrete viv is still an idea in the works. thanks all for helping mold it!
collecting mats is always good anyway:)

i really should have started another post for the concrete viv... sorry

BACK ON TOPIC! the couple in the 40 gallon..

i theorize the sub gets cooler and more humid with its depth?

so i want to add a heat lamp timed from 9am to 3pm. the hottest time of the day. they can burrow to avoid the heat?

screen is super glued on. but would the heat lamp affect the glue? python glue label says it bonds everything, but it doesnt say heat lamp safe.

ready for slings!

dance my babies! dance!

az be coolin down starting next week at the moment the low is 85F and high is 94F in the viv.

I changed the areas outside of their patrols and burrows.

added temp gauge,

petco tank along male's burrow/patrol, tank's rear opens to wood burrow where he is sleeping, he can then he move out of the tank's hatch or follow the hide's other path, sand covered but it leads to the concrete half shingle stronghold

sorry bex moved the bandanna skull to the longimanus viv...

the central area has 2 large dunes lined by large but light flat stones, mealworm is below screen lid's feed tray opening

the female's area is the same, but i added sand to bury the crack on her fav concrete half shingle more

and at your local dollar tree:


i think my h.spinigerus will love the plastic viv! it's a huge lion cage for them
and i will decorate them.

i bought 9 more to move my dubai colony into my drawers. i recently found out that i am allergic to the scent of their droppings, but i can bear it long enough to grab feeders for my scorps

i spend countless hours watching my scorpions, and i want to post every behavior that i witness. should i post here or make a new post?

room had only laptop light dusk.
10PM : female crawls out from high flat in her territory. male loudly pushes his dried moss door out. they both begin a counter-clockwise exploration of the viv. male loudly falls into mealworm dish. female climbs both hills and ends her exploration at the edge of the petco tank. they both meet at the back left corner, simultaneously the female drops her tail and poses it like a c.sculturatus, while the male's tail appears like an outstretched finger. he stops then continue exploring. she began burrowing under the mealworm dish, and the light dish fell of her. she burrowed out, climbed onto the dish and rested. male stumbles upon the female on his return home, falling more graceful this time with the female's arm within his pincher. her tail drops again. both pause. he stumbles over the hill and returns home. she rest a bit longer and returns home. he clenches a mass of dried moss and loudly walks backward into the wood burrow. he such a loud "drunkard"

posting a the latest viv pic when i get home from school.

fan is only on when i sleep and the scorps wake


the petco tank



top view from female territory


"bird's eye view"


they were content with everything, except my niece's drawing. they only stepped on it, it was atop the nearby plateau.
