The scorpions in this area don't interest me but there's a guy over on the "true spiders" section that might help you. Now mind you --- if you badmouth a Black Widow he may piss napalm and fart mustard gas at you but he does know a lot about the arachnids in SoCal... Dear "What" --- cuddles...

I have no experience with this genus of Scorpions or any of the variants. Can you please tell me if the scorpion in the video below is H. spinnifer or H. longimanus. I don't think the poster identified the species. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewswu-jy4KA&feature=related Also...

That's funny...When I try to count the babies I come up with 15 then I'll count again and then it's 16. I reply to this post once they all jump ship and I can get an accurate count. I'll also post some pictures scorpionmom. I just realized today that I have nothing small enough to put...

I hadn't checked on my C. hentzi for several days and found this female crawling around in her cage on Sunday morning. I separated her from the others and waited until today to take a quick picture. These are my first bark scorpions and I can't believe how small the babies are.

Thanks for the new paper. I'll add it to my bookmarks. I'm always on the lookout for information from people who have longterm personal experience with various species of scorpions.

I'll continue keeping a little bit of coconut fiber as a substrate. Humidity seems to be the important reason for keeping it. I've gone years without any mites but all of a sudden they started showing up in some of my tarantula and scorpion cages. And yes...I've read the book, "Good Mite...

I currently have 1 P. regalis and 1 A. Avicularia and both are about an inch long. If arboreals like these spend all their time in the upper part of their enclosures then do you really need substrate? I currently have about an inch of coconut fiber on the bottom of their enclosures. Could...

There is a local cricket ranch in my area that has changed the type of crickets that they are breeding. They call them Super Crickets. Supposedly these crickets have more protein and grow faster. I called the ranch and tried to get more information from them but they wouldn't get...

I can answer this question because I've watched them commit the crime. When you are not around watching the container the crickets are constantly crawling around and moving about, just like they would in nature. To them the top of that critter keeper is nothing more than a pile of leaves or...

Can you accurately sex C. gracilis at 1/2"?

When you don't squeeze the top the slit closes up. My Pinktoe is barely 3/4" and I don't think it can pry the slit open. The whole selling point for me was for the the ease of feeding. Give it a squeeze and pop a cricket in then let it go and it closes back up.

Has anyone ever used these containers that are made to hold loose things? It cost me $3.99. All the other materials I already had. I made this for my Pinktoe. My only concern is for the black rubber pieces and if they might be toxic. I'm going to let it sit for about a week before I put...

Search function...Nothing--- I am not a long term and constant keeper of B. dubia so I don't have that long term experience. Here's what I want to know - I have read all over the www of the craziest things people feed to their B. dubia. The last time I had some I threw in some of my...

If it was a G. pulchripes or a Curly Hair I could see handling it a bit, but this species? I raise scorpions, P. transvaalicus, L.Q., A. mauretanicus...and I have never handled any of these animals. I have a detailed and rigid set of proceedures I use to feed them and clean and fix their...

I have never seen a tarantula attack a prey item with such ferocity. I have him on a feeding regime of three times per week, but I know he would eat more if I offered it to him. I don't want to "glutenize" him. Is this typical eating habits for this species? Should I be feeding it more or...

Always ask yourself - Where does my scorpion come from, what is it's environment like, and what does it do in that environment? Scorpions are exposed to UV rays but they normally don't spend much time under them during the daylight. In captivity scorpions are put in a small environments with...

I received a G. pulchripes as a freebie and now it's about a 1/2" long. It's a neat little T and is very personable, always wanting to come out of it's container and walk around. I keep mine a little warmer than room temperature - somewhere around the late 70's and a tad on the humid side...

I'm specifically talking about the type with the lid that has the paper material covering the vent holes in the lid. These are the cups commonly used for fruit flies. Are the lids breathable enough to house a tarantula or scorpion?

What is this? I'd rather not tell you what it's suppose to be and prejudice your opinion.
