Cacoseraph, I have a species that will "glow" in my backyard here in texas when I get board and shine my UV light around. Once it warms back up I will start looking for them again and try to post up some photos both day and night. Nothing like the ones that you, josh and I found on the trip a...

1: Diplo. whitei 2: Diplo. diablo 3: Isometrus melanodactylus 4: Diplo. bereai 5: Tityus falconensis

I have a adult male H. spadix that when I open its container to feed him, his tail goes up and the venom starts to flow without any pestering on my part.

John give it a month and come visit me and we will go out looking for some. You will get a nice group without to much work.

I have found H. spadix with both Paruroctonus boreus and Paruroctonus utahensis. Both of them are found in greater numbers within the same habitat as H.spadix. They might be an option if you can find them in the UK or you could try Smeringurus vachoni they are an impressive animal when full...

Sounds like a great project, good luck and keep us posted.

Why not try at night. Go out with a UV light and see whats moving. I spend two weeks in the jungle in panama and flipping logs and rocks all day never found one scorpion but one night with just a good flashlight and I found 6 along one trail. Good luck

Do you think that our bug collecting fore fathers ordered their bugs from some place in a book? No they did not they went out and toiled under the scorching heat and blistering cold, up and over the tallest mountains and through the deepest swamps to find their quarry. So get out from behind...

If you are still wanting to find some find a pool with slower moving water and search around the base of any rocks or in the leaf litter at the bottom. What I have found to work pretty well is to get an aquarium fish net, I use the 5" size and put it in the water to the bottom of the pool and...

I have that movie on the shelf right now. It sits right by "Frogs" and "The Giant Gila Monster". They are always good for a laugh.

What I use to do was to go to the local vets offices and ask them very nicely if they had any extra shipping boxes or offer to buy them when they get them in. They get them in when they get medications that have to kept cold in transit. Most offices will be happy for you to take care of...

That’s great, I didn’t know if the darker colorations of both of those genuses would hinder the use of flashlights for shining out the eggs in females. How big were the females when you were able to do this? Does it work on juvenile females?

I have seen post with people using flashlights to shine out gravid female pokies, does this trick work for other female tarantulas? Like Avics or Brachys?

I have one I have an adult female that if you want to work a 75/25% split in your favor let me know.

I think that for an adult I would use a 12x12x18. I know that it is more room then what most people would use but with an adult having leg spawn of around 6-7" it might be nice to let them strech out. I use to take ten gallons and turn them vertical for Avicularia and Poecilotheria species...

Not usually, give them a lot of room and maybe. Good Luck

I am planning a trip to West/Central Texas this spring(May-June) and am starting to plan out my trip. If anyone would like to meet me there I would be happy to have some locals to talk with. I am going for both bugs and reptiles. My wish list is below. I will be collecting some bugs and...

These are in my top five favorite scorpions. It was nice to see the difference in the exoskeltons between the males and females. I have always looked at the pectines before when tring to sex my scorpions.

I used the "turtle" bowls, low flat ones years ago in washington for keeping scorpions that I collected in eastern washington. It worked pretty well. I might have to try it again someday after seeing the photos of yours. Those look great.

Yup John thats them. Such a cool little bug.
