    B. jacks together before adulthood?

    I had b jacksoni together from 3i to adulthood and no problems. No one got eaten during a molt. Keep them well fed and risk should be reduced.

    Medium-large dead cricket, OK?

    Remove the hopping legs and if it's still able to move from the scorpion, use scissors to cut 1/2 each leg off (cricket legs). Mine will not eat dead bugs, just the ones they have killed. Maybe yours would be different. If your scorpion is REALLY small, consider wingless fruitflys. But...

    anyone close to Oklahoma with a adult male b jacksoni?

    Just after my female gave birth, (and after I moved them into a warm closet) the male died, and then the female ate all the babies. I didn't think she was that close to birth or I would have left them alone. So, I am in the market for an adult male b jacksoni. I prefer someone close...

    Androctonus bicolor Am I ready?

    TBH, Although you didn't go into any details in your question, you also didn't word the question like I would have expected. Based on that and that alone, you get my approval. Experience? I have 6 LQQ and 6 LQH and 2 b jacksoni. That should be experienced enough to voice an opinion...

    Cages for hot scorps

    What do you have around that would get into the 2.5 tank? cats? kids? dogs? friends? If you don't have those, then why worry? LQ can't climb glass or slick plastic. If you were to buy some big rubber bands, you can put 2 or 3 around it and you are safe. They would also make it a non-skid...

    How offen you feed your babies

    How many feeders you put in with babies is highly dependant on what you keep the scorpions in. If you keep each in it's own delicup, they will easily find and catch the food. The amounts quoted to you in the other messages is making the assumption they are catching crickets. If you have you...

    coommunal tank

    My b jacksoni are basically only out at night. from 10pm-1am they prowl and get out. During daylight, they are always in the hide and usually kick the peat moss up to keep you from seeing them. The female of this pair is a real pig. She eats a big cricket every couple of days, which I find...

    Curious: Scorp vs Bullet Ant sting

    That's a BFA. And it looks like it's about to feed. Along the same train of thought, I was under the impression that soldier ants (in a jungle) bite rather than sting as well. And they have a major bad reputation as well. Do fire ants sting or bite?

    LD 50, better version mabey?

    ld 50 is a standard measurement. Sorry, but it is used in chemistry and biology and however you think scorpions should be rated (other than ld 50) is a waste of time. Its a valid scientific system. What puzzles me is why the table you reference has all the "Methods of administration". It...

    Albino Scorpion

    looks like an albino to me. Didn't the post say red eyes? Breed it back to a parent and you might get more. Curious to see it under a UV light...

    new communal idea

    I wish the ScorpionForum used different colors. I have a really hard time with the color used on text. I (like many people) have a red-green color deficiency. Post the link on the birthdate message and I will try it. Richard
