yes i did indeed get mine from faunology.co.uk, I also found out its a she and shes had babies i've got about 9-10 that have survived - which is nice.

Had another count yesterday evening 20 so far could be more, removed the mother last night too shes in a seperate tank and being well fed. Smeringus mesanensis is their name lovely little scorps (my favs) Got some micro crickets today ill let them eat tonight. Does anyone have any...

Until yesterday night i hadn't seen her in 2 months I was debating if i should dig her up when i looked at the tank she was out and about, on closer inspection i realised there were tiny 1cm babies on the substrate, I counted around 10, they were off the mums back so how long ago will she have...

Smeringurus Mesaensis is my fav so far. Really active, always see my lil guy about (until recently) and they are one of the best looking scorps imo ghostly appearence and mines v. aggro and v. fast. Like a mini version of a Desert Hairy only better looking :P Shame I only just managed to...

Ermmm No seriously Id make some kind of trench round my bed with my desert hairies/ dune scorps in. That would so freak me out be careful ! Mebbes you should let your evil emp share your bed with you to scare off them spiders :P

Nice larsen, my smeringurus mesa has gone into hiding this week, normally see him out and about every other night or so but no sign of him all week. Last time i saw him he was quite plump... im thinking he was going to molt but haven't seen him yet :confused: hopefully he'll be out and about...

Id just give the scorpion time to adjust, I know its in the same tank but maybe a chance in temperature. Check the sticky post at the top to make sure the temperature and humidity (80 / 80) and all the bases are covered. Also I hope it has been provided with a couple of hides, not having...

I know its not really related but are geckos very active or not?

Geckos are prone to ingesting their substrate, im not certain what the best substrate is but I think its better to keep them on vermiculite or a small pebble mix - don't take my word for it tho. I only know this because i read up on it when i was interested in buying a gecko in the end that...

I fed my dune scorp a moth yesterday and it was the first time i have done so, I was quite suprised at how fast the scorp reacted, grabbing the moth out of the air the first pass. I think your right with the substrate idea but i would want to keep a emp or what ever on a sand mix i just don't...

I make my own tanks and yes it is fun, made an octagonal one for my friend, but those things are a pain to heat with mats. I usually make the lid outta plexiglass/ crystallglass basically. I work in a DIY shop so its very easy for me to obtain the materials I need.

I wouldn't worry too much about them drowning, saw a documentry on BBC yesterday says scorps can survive underwater for 24hours. Aslong as you have gravel in the dish you shouldn't have problems anyway if it wants to freak out then let it, possibly moulting but i doubt it would do it in the...

heh i've got a female who just molted, she used to bully the fully grown male pushing him about and using her tail to push him away. Now they live very happily in the same burrow :)

My tank took forever to dry out, I had mine baking under a 200W bulb for ages + with a heatmat on full wack still took 4-5 days, mind my tank is big but id rather not take the risk of the sp. with damp sand. Hope you've accompanied your sand with something else to allow it to retain solidity...

I know this isn't really related but seems daft to start another thread over it. My Female emp just molted first time in a year since i've had her and actually noticed her molt, shes in with a male but they seem to like each other if anything she bosses him about. Noticed her today a white...

Lo runaway, I've had two scorpions from easy exotics, i've not seem them update stock in ages you'd be better off to ring of find another supplier. Id go for Smeringurus mesaensis (Dune Scorpion) they are a beautiful scorp very active, mines just as active as my desert hairy. Or go for the...

I think your right richard i've never owned a deathstalker before let alone handled one but after handling Smeringurus Mesaensis & H. Arizonensis i've never come across that stance before, also the rest of hit appearing to be laying on his hand. I must admit Death Stalkers eyes look awsome!

I've seen my desert hairy do this before its a bit wierd it seems to do it when the crickets still moving so mebbe just to finish it off

I can confirm this altho I don't know why, possibly some kind of reaction it has on their exo-skeleton or membrane. Im not so sure about the flames either, i've heard they sting themselves to death though when surrounded by a ring of fire, not sure if its the heat or if they put themselves...

My Hairy has been underground for months still seems quite happy buried underground. I saw a program on scorps where they took a desert sp. froze it in a solid block of ice then left it out on a rock in the blazing sun after the ice melted it just walked off.
