    Tail wags

    I believe they are sensing prey or other scorps when they do this. Scorp hat sensory "pits" and "hairys" all over their tails

    "Clumsy" scorpion, sick?

    I've seen this behavior in my Tityus and Centruroides species. It always happens a week or few days prior to them molting. I know that if its a group enclosure and i see a scorp acting like this that its about to molt so ill remove it and put it in its own 16oz deli container with moist coco...

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    So I had another Tityus stigmurus molt to adult yesterday. In the same enclosure as the other one and it's perfetly fine only difference is that I have removed the powder blues. So it had to be them, the springtails are still thriving in the enclosure and didn't cause the scorpion any harm what...

    Ok Erik... your a nice man to step back and allow other to have some. How about I make 8 groups of 5 in 16oz deli containers and number each group. Then I'll message the people who were asking for some and have them pick a number and that's the group you get. I would do my best to split them...

    We have survivors. 43 to be exact. 11 normals 32 gertschi morphs. Mainly males for some reason but there is a few females mixed in. I'm shocked, when they arrived they were limp and motionless. But as time passed and they warmed up some pulled thru. C.sculpturatus has to be the toughest...

    Anyone Keeping Microbuthus?

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    I'm done with the power blues. I'm getting them out of the enclosures they are in and sticking to the micro species. I'm not willing to lose another scorp to them or even take the chance. I'l just use them as food for my instars until their gone

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    No the stig was fine. Molt was hanging above it on the cork like it should be and it was completely out of it. I knocked all the springtails off it and picked it up and looked at it closely. Looked perfect except all the tiny holes leaking fluid.

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    And over the last 20 years or so I've use probably 6 different species of isopods as my cleaners and have never lost a single scorp to them. I've only been using springtails for the last 2 months and now this has happened. But this is the first time ive used powder blues. Normally i use micro...

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    It is possible the isopods attacked it. But there wasn't any around when I found it this morning. And there' very few isopods in the enclosure. I only introduce them a few weeks ago and only put around 10 or so in.

    Warning!!! Springtails + molting Scorpions

    I have no clue what species they are. I'l check with who I bought them from. The isopods are powder blues. I don' know their scientific name. I'm thinking about pulling the scorps out and making some tape traps with a dead roach in the middle and see if they get stuck to the tape.
