Well then perhaps I'll buy a couple pf each. On top of my scorp colonies I wanted some tarantulas and a centipede or 2. Now only if I could find a Gooty Saphire Ornamental {D
In my opinion both species are incredibly beautiful and I'm having trouble deciding which one to get. Google doesn't answer every question especially when it comes to exotic animals. Between the 2 do females keep the same pretty coloration as the males or at least somewhat close to it? Aslo...
It's been a while since my last post and all; life has been some what hectic. Anyway I'm still a licensed breeder/exporter/importer for the state of Florida and I'm getting ready to start collecting exotics again. However this time since I will own more dangerous species such as Androctonus...
Good for you
I haven't been on in forever, because all my scorpions died. I had mites then multiple cold fronts with no heat, and finally every tank got infested with ants. I'd clean the cages and within 2 hours there would be a whole colony in the cage. With my new job I didn't have time to...
I have a self sustained colony of 10 now in a 10 gallon tank. I'm lucky if I see them outside their hides more than twice a week. These are the least active species I've yet come across. They don't even come out for food, they wait for the food to walk into the hides.
Depends on how many critters you have. First they confiscate all exotic animals, then fine you per animal, and revoke the ability for you ever be able to get a permit. It also depends on which county you reside in too. Some have much more severe penalties. Like Dade county where Miami is can...
Actually you are required to have permits for all species now. However applications for the harmless ones just mentioned are usually auto approved. It's odd even native scorpions you have to have a permit to keep as pets. They also told me that they are in the process of updating the laws too...
Permit is good for breeding and sale. I'm permitted for...Pandinus Imperator, Heterometrus Spinifer, Scorpio Maurus/Scorpio Maurus Palmatus, Smeringurus Mesaensis, Hadrurus Arizonensis/Hadrurus Arizonensis Pallidus, Mesobuthus Martensii, Lychas Mucronatus, Babycurus Jacksoni, and will be sending...
My, H. Arizonensis was able to climb up the corners of the terrarium I kept him in. He used the apoxy in the corners. Used to see him clinging to the mesh ceiling every now and then. Now that he is full grown he is no longer able, but my smaller species do the same thing. Bark scorpions in my...
I've kept scorpions my whole life and breed them as well. I prefer crickets as they are easier for the scorp to catch, but as for nutrition wise both roaches and crickets seemed the same. I use roaches for the quick and small species that are able to catch them. I've used 3 types of roaches and...
Before this turns into another argument, like it has in the past many times. I just want everyone to know why I said some scorps are potentially lethal. A lot of people think the LD.50 chart is stupid and worthless, and that's fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. As for me however, I...
Thats why I said potentially deadly. 99 times out of 100 an adult person with a healthy immune system and no allergies won't die, but there is still a slight chance. I've known someone who has, and there wasn't anything medically wrong with him, other than the fact he was stung by an A...
If you have a sterile lab with the proper equipment and a license/permit for the species, you can extract and sell venom for medical and scientific purposes. There is a market for that stuff, but I wouldn't say it's worth "bookoo" dollars though. Scorpions are not as dangerous as snakes or...
Well it all depends. Some species the pectine count difference between females and males is so close you have to count them exactly to be 100% sure. In that case you have to wait til they are a bit older. For some scorps though you can be decently accurate just by doing a size comparison. I...
I'm thinking of doing a Hottentotta setup I like the Judaicus, but would prefer the Jayakari. Is the Jayakari communal and if yes does anyone know where I can obtain either species? A care sheet on both would be nice I haven't been able to find too much on them. :worship: Thanks in advance yall!!!
