    Lychas Marmoreus Eating Longlegs

    I'm on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. How did you find them? Blacklighting? I'd be really keen to find scorps in my area... I know they're around, but I've never found any myself :sad:

    Lychas Marmoreus Eating Longlegs

    It's actually Pholcus phalangioides... or the "Daddy long legs spider" - so it's different to the "daddy long legs" (harvestmen) most of you guys know :D Down-Under: Where'd you get him/her from? Looks nice... :drool:

    tank and substrate for urodacus?

    I've got my Urodacus Yaschenkoi on "Desert Sand" - which I bought from a local pet store. Apparently it's from the simpson desert or somewhere like that... I moisten it when I fill the tank up, and compact it down so it hardens after it dries out a bit... the scorp can then burrow very...

    The importance/relavance of heat gradiants

    I live in mid-latitude Australia so there's no real need for heating the tanks, especially seeing as the only species we can legally keep here are Aussie ones, hehe.
