Back in the day when I had dozens of scorplings I would feed them as much as they would eat. They are growing faster at that stage and are always hungry. Just don’t leave feeder litter/pieces in their container to go bad. And if they don’t seem hungry, make sure to remove any remaining feeders...

Generally, for Centruroides sp., if you have enough hides and provide adequate food you will see very little to no cannibalization. John ];’)

Could be. Or could just be well fed as captives tend to get. IME they are usually a bit fatter when gravid. Especially when near parturition. John ];’)

I have not stumbled across this web page. That will be very helpful. Thank you very much! John ];’)

Preferably large herp tweezers. But there are other safe methods. Deep plastic cup on a stick. You could herd it (with long implement) into a resealable storage container pop the lid on and move to new housing. Carefully remove lid in new habitat. Herd it into a really small critter keeper then...

Wow! Has technology and availability coma long way since Dave and I constructed our LED collecting lamps in the early 2000’s! You can now buy LED flashlights with 50+ LEDs in various frequency ranges for under $10 on Amazon or many other places. Example of some I just purchased: LED...

Omg Debby! Graduated from college! Wow! How time does fly. Mine are 13 and 10 now and growing too fast to believe! I do feel old at times but then the same person I was at 15…kids definitely make the old feeling happen. I have yet to collect things outside my yard with them. But they are...

One week to go! :devil::eek::devil:

Ancient member here (Just about to have my 20th anniversary as an Arachnoboards member! :D). Not active. Not a noob etc. Taking a trip to my sister's house in a few weeks in Orinda CA area and was wondering if anyone knows of a decent spot (aka easy/safe and allowed) to collect scorps near...

Hi all, Ancient member here. Not active. Not a noob. Might be taking a weekend trip in nearish future to Santa Fe NM area and was wondering if anyone knows of a decent spot (aka easy and allowed) to collect scorps near there. I want to take my kids, who have never been collecting. I have never...

Yah. Like tons of cobwebs and stuff. Not long after commenting on bentonite I found stuff called "paver underlay" at Home Depot. It's used to put under paver stones and bricks for walkways. Real cheap and has some clay as well as rocks and sand and hold up to burrowing. Probably doing a...

Could have been very lucky and received dry stings. Not that uncommon. John ];')

Could be a Leiurus. Has long thin pedipalps/pincers and from what little can be seen the right color on the last tail segment. Regardless, it probably has significant venom. Note: all scorpions are venomous, but most are not dangerous. In Iran you are much more likely to encounter a dangerously...

Um...you resurrected a dead seven year old thread. I don't think most posters in this thread are active members -including myself. However, both species can be found together in habitats in Arizona. John ];')

I agree with Michael. Opisthacanthus asper or slight chance of O.validus. See a very similar picture of one (O.validus) I photographed on my Honeymoon to South Africa and Namibia. John ];')
