you could add a moist paper towel or a layer of soil to the bottom to keep the humidity. She also needs a place to hide and walk on so add in a few sticks, wood and leaves, but really any object can serve as a hide, as long as it won't be toxic/harmful to her.

Sometimes they take a very long time to moult so it's most likely that. If they are all of similar size then it would make sense as they could be from the same batch (same age). Some species also 'hibernate' at some times of the year e.g. one winter my Madagascar Ringed millipede stayed under...

I had two Coromus vittatus but after one died, I decided to buy two Coromus variabilis as I had not seen these for sale before and foud them interesting. The C. variabilis were much smaller (half the size) than my C. vittatus but also much faster. They were the same genus and had similar...

Hi, I'm Dawid, I live in the UK and I'm 20. I've been fascinated by arthropods ever since I was a kid, but keeping non-native species started when my school teacher introduced me to the pet stick insects she kept as a class pet that I absolutely loved and decided to buy some myself. I like to...

well, the T. aoutti and the Coromus in the picture are actually millipedes so they are harmless and not too fast. I would be traumatised if I found my centipede in my sock instead! o_O that would be a nighmare!

hmmm, I do sometimes forget to give them their clacium (in the form of crushed cuttlefish bone) so it's not too farfetched to suggest that.

It was only for a picture so I had an eye on it. unlike one of my Telodeinopus aoutti which I once found in my sock! I didn't think they could climb the glue holding the sides of the enclosure together...

it's much easier to get a good picture of them when they pretend to be dead

I'm not sure if they are fully mature yet as they are still smaller than the size of an adult of those species and they also have slightly different colouration to adults (for both species). I would say that they are still sub-adult or just small adults as they have developed some sexual...

I have been keeping 3 T. aoutti and one A. polleni together ever since I bought them as juveniles. I even had a Tonkinbolus dolfusi in there too and they all tolerated eachother just fine. I've been keeping them like this for 1.5-2 years at which point they had started to mature with the...

As always, It is very hard to sex scorpions. After a while though, I have decided that my Hadrurus a. pallidus is a female judging by the pectine count, however, females usually have pectines bent outwards slightly where as my one has straight pectines. Can anyone help me confirm if I'm right or...
