check false bottom setup for forest type scorpions, it really helps with the humidity needed especially for molting. hope your scorp is now ok

condolence. For feeders, lat nymphs or pinhead crickets will do.

your substrate is way to moist for your Vajeovis (first pic)

@ belle If possible, if you can get some local buthids, start with them. In this scenario, the requirements in terms of temperature, availability (I always love inexpensive scorpions) and blueprint for a terrarium design will be easier than imported ones. I kept some buthids for some years now...

hey dude no worries for your Hottentotta hottentotta, it is one of the hardiest and most available species of scorpion in the Philippines. Just feed it regularly and mist it once a week. Before the year end, you'll have some babies from her.

individual cups to avoid cannibalism.

i'll go with this one.

lats and crickets will do just fine, once they hit 5i you can add mealworms. good luck with them!

egg cartons for hides, they are notorious for being cannibalistic. I once had a colony of crickets and I put some coco fiber as substrate, to lessen the smell.

Hottentotta hottentotta, damn active and easy to care for. Eats like a pig though.

good plan, once you see the females bulged up might as well give mama her own enclosure. good luck with breeding feeders, too, as the slings are eating machines.

Christmas came early. Good luck with them

+ 1 on this. Kabayan, I suggest a "cage within a cage" method. That way, IF any of your caged stingers got out of their immediate enclosure, you are still quite safe. Unfortunately for us in the Philippines, the scorpion hobby is not as cool as it was years ago. Limited choices and all...

Looks good for medical use. Time to buy in bulk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNICTafeat8

Hold on there Cowboy, before breeding have you had any experience keeping them for a long time? Sorry to rain on your parade but you seem to ask questions only a newbie would ask (like food for them). My advice, get some mild mannered scorpions and work from there. There are a lot of hot...

haven't you notice the red underline when typing? LOL. I agree, the equally beautiful R. junceus is much more active and quite readily available. Having both is still the best.

Yes, these information can make our answers as direct as possible.

You can always come back to arachnid keeping, might as well focus on your Grandmother. Who knows, you might find some cool critters while you are in Mexico. Will include your abuela in my prayers.

I don't think this is a good combination. Might as well have a good amount of experience on low level scorpions before jumping on the big guns. However, your various mingling with hot snakes can make the transition faster. Good luck and always keep us posted

As a teacher, I have brought some Heterometrus longimanus (adults and scorplings), some Ts and three reticulated pythons on various occasions. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the spark of curiosity out of learners' eyes. After high school, some of my students decided to take Vet...
