i ordered 7 Androctonus species scorpion all the same species but 3 came from a different locality then the other four,i kept them all seperate. Out of nowhere recently all 3 from the same locality died. The other 4 are fine and seem healthy(as did the others). I have no explanation why except...

So after further research i have learned that yes, she laid a whole brood of infertle eggs. Not sure how that happened as its pretty rare, I'm assuming her being shipped in near freezing temperatures a month ago has something to do with it. Oh well better luck next time. I feel bad for the...

Yes untill she molts/births i would only leave live food in overnight then remove it untill the next feeding.

So my Parabuthus Trans. who i have had for about 3 weeks and i have known is gravid just laid what looks to be Small White/yellow eggs. I know scorpions dont lay eggs so im guessing this is like a misscarriage?? does anyone have any info on this?

If she is an adult yes, if she isnt then most likely she is going to molt soon.(shed her skin)

Definitely premolt or gravid, but honestly you shouldnt have it so they can climb on the top screen like that. They could easily hurt themselves or the babies.

i wouldnt try and help them out. i tried to help one of my baby scorpions out of a molt he got stuck in and he bled to death. the other one that got stuck i decided to leave and he ended up just losing his claw and he is doing fine almost a month later

I've never seen that before on a scorpion, but it looks like some kind of deformity. but if it came out of nowhere maybe it's some kind of growth like a tumor. or she is gravid and just formed weird. These are just guesses. and could be wrong.

I hope it didn't also. and I agree it shouldn't have been shipped but if you do ship a gravid specimen it should be top notch packaging with a heat pack this time of year. and this guy failed. He also said he had no choice but to sell his collection.

Here's some pics of her and my new additions I picked up at an expo today Mesobuthus martensii adult pair. P. transvaalicus enjoying some heat. Gravid Parabuthus transvaalicus by ScorpionObsession posted Dec 10, 2016 at 2:41 PM Mesobuthus martensii pair sitting on eachother Newest scorpion...

I only had scorpions until I got this guy. His name is Mellow. He's about 2 inches.

If it isn't responding to pokes, then it is most likely dead.

leave food in overnight, if not eaten remove. About the substrate. you must pour water into the substrate and mix it in to where all levels of the substrate are pretty moist. after that you then only have to spray once a week. sometimes more. And you can offer a scorpion food right away if it...

Here is a video of me unboxing my first Parabuthus transvaalicus, packaging was horrible the container she was in was very cold. but she seems to be ok now.

20 gallon is to big for one, but you don't want to keep this species communally as it almost always ends in deaths. you get the substrate wet pat it down and let it dry for up to a week, that's how you Get good burrowing sand/clay. and I recommend getting an infrared heat light for night viewing...

I tong feed my Asian forests and usually if they don't take it out of the tongs I try again next week.

The like 3-4 inches of substrate, atleast as they do burrow, (almost all mine have built burrows) and temperatures 80-88 feirenheight are what they prefer although they can tolerate lower. Humidity levels should be kept around 80% alittle higher won't hurt. also provide a shallow wide water dish...

Only try and feed him a prey atleast half the size of his body once a week, it's possible he will go months without eating but still offer him food weekly, if he doesn't take it, remove it either hours later or the next day.

Yes I'm curious about that

I plan on waiting until they are atleast settled in to 2i before I start selling. and I'm not sure on prices yet but won't be expensive.
