Will do! I really love these little guys. They’re truly fascinating to watch. Even my girlfriend who “hates them” loves to just sit and watch them catch prey and explore their enclosure.
I’ll more than likely make them available when they molt to 3rd instar!
UPDATE: 7 moms have now given birth and the baby count is somewhere between 65-70.
The first brood of 13 has left mom and is currently munching on fruit flies. The second brood of 5 has molted but hasn’t left mom yet. The...
I’ll be sure to keep you guys updated. In other news, mom #5 gave birth to 12 babies this morning bringing the total to 52-60 babies.
I have at least 5 more that look like they’re ready to pop any day now. Not sure what I’m going to do with 100+ baby sculpturatus! 😂
I’ve had my colony of C. sculpturatus (roughly 30) for about 10 months and up until a week ago I’ve had zero babies. Now, 4 females have given birth within 8 days of one another. The first brood just molted to 2i today which was pretty exciting but as I was separating the newest mother from the...
Tim was a pleasure to deal with. I was blown away by his selection and prices. I figured it was a long shot that he’d have 20+ of a particular species I was looking for but he came through. His communication was quick and concise and he watched the weather at my location very closely to come up...
not up the glass but up the silicone in the corners. It’s always been juvenile bark scorpions. They have zero issue climbing the silicone and then squeezing their way out through a small gap in the screen top. Larger scorps should be no problem though.
I use an Exo-Terra cage. I’ve used top opening glass aquariums in the past and had issues with escapees, especially with babies. I’ve had no issues with escapees since switching to the Exo-Terra... just need to make sure all the gaps are siliconed.
Having had a lot of time off recently I decided to give my C. sculpturatus colony an upgraded enclosure. They’re now in an 18x18x24” Exo-Terra. My girlfriend and I made the custom rock background and used excavator clay to give them varying terrain and caves/hides. It was a fun challenge to come...
Any ideas on the sex of this young GBB? I know it’s still pretty small but I THINK I see a flap between the book lungs. It doesn’t show up well in the photo but the point of a needle catches on what looks to me to be a flap.
My 1.5" P. met just molted two days ago. I didn't have too much luck with spermathecae sexing (see my post in the spermathecae sexing category if you want to try your hand at it) so I figured I'd give this a shot. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
I had to look them up... never heard of them before. They look really cool and I especially like their eyes. Seems like they’d be a great fit for your setup.
