i will post the pic up soon! promise!

Well, I either have someone really late in developing into 3I or 4I is now beginging to happen.
Already seen a few running in the tank that look HUGE! like going to burst super huge...so either from a very good feed...or moult is on the way!!!

But since the tails are looking double the size *yet not clearly moulted* I would say they will be moulting into 4I soon. very exciting!

ok. 4I is happening now for sure. at least 2 have moulted.
Im just waiting on the others now and when all done I will rehome them all into a bigger tank!

The 4I's look very impressive!

cool , connie! my scorps are a shed behind yours.

well mine were born 5th Feb 2008, I dont know when yours were.
The 4I was out and about today with a 3I standing next to it. very cool.

Connie your doing pretty good raising these guys.

I need to do a head count. I will next week as bought some new coco fibre today.
We found some chela pieces. Unsure if this could be a 4I moulting really early...or if we have had a death *ponders*

They have formed two groups. 3I and 4I in burrows *we looked under*...interesting. the sizes are sticking together in a group and the other side too....looks like a 4I died though...two 4I's fighting...or he got attacked by the 3I's...or maybe a moult into 5I ....anyone know?

cool. they have they're own little groups. i think its probably a dead one or a moult from 3i? i dunno.

mine do the same no too connie i have a group under the cocunut hut and a group under the water dish that are far bigger then the ones under the hut.... i wounder why???

I guess its safer for the smallest ones to stay together and when bigger then get moved into the bigger side. Im sure its all for survival

ok. update.

14 scorplings in the big tank and 1 in the tank on its own *telsonless one*

Not too bad....3 deaths in the tank.

I also discovered something interesting!!!

When putting scorplings back into their tank *A good few due to moult and soon into 4I* I saw a clump together...tried to get them apart...thinking stuck.

THEY WERE HUGGING! all stomachs together and legs wrapped! I can only think for protection!!!!

I realised and took some pictures! very interesting!

xxxxxxx

pics pics pics!!!!!!

I will upload on card when I can, have to start the dinner and have a show to watch at 8...something about a monster hunter or something hehehe

But yes, the hugging was so cute. I just ran to look at them again but all under the cork bark hide, im sure tonight they will all begin making their burrows

lol the really pale one looks like it has no legs. or atleast it did when first looked at it

cute. i see what you mean by them clumping together. looks like you'll have more 4i's very soon!

Holy crap.. they look like they can hardly walk so fat are they...

yeah im just waiting for them to moult. its not far off im sure, but im not worried. They all have moulted at differant rates.

do you rememeber ages ago me being upset about one being crushed. A SQUISH with some tongs *naughty fiance*
Well, that one is still alive and a 3I and soon to moult!!!

xxxxxx

it's still alive? brill! is it still deformed?

yeah, a still slight dent. its in the pic with the others. the very sorta central one in the "hugging" pic.
The dent isnt as big. I think it will moult most of the dent out!

EDIT:I will hunt it down and post a pic of it all squashed on the side *I have a pic somewhere*

Sadly discovered last night one 4I outside the hide injured. Innards poking out of side, not a lot but some white coming out!

I tried to find the little one earlier but cant be found, either eaten or gone down into a burrow.

I wonder how that happened...I didnt think their chela at 4I would be able to pinch a tank mate like that, so much that the "skin" is broken and innards poking out.
Scorpion isnt "bleeding"...like a hernia...

*sighs*

thats really unfortunate! could it have been a cricket?
