Ok. Thanks. For now she's still alive but not moving much. There's still no sign of any poop that she may have done and it starts to smell weird but I can't say yet if it's from the humid peat moss or the dead limb. Frank

Heya mates, it's been a while! I was wondering if anyone ever had one of their scorp being acting fine for some time and then, for no apparent reason, the scorpion couldn't put its metasoma "in the air" ("rolled up") and when it would try to do so, its metasoma would shake like if it would...

Awesome, thanks!

Ok thanks, are males longer (since females are larger) than females? By the way, are wings only appearing when they reach maturity (and thus, right after the very last molt)...? Thanks, Frank

Hello! Are there any external dimorphisms between males and females in discoids roaches? Thanks all, Frank

To piss you off folks, I got my first invert at 13 :p It was a T, then I got my first scorp, a H. arizonensis when I was 15 (or 14? don't remember exactly :S), then an emp, then a bunch of other species, including buthids. Got a A. australis at 17, which I now know that I was too young for this...

Here's the URL to one video I did a few months ago, featuring a male Centruroides gracilis stinging and eating a cricket. Pretty good action IMO. http://albums.reptilic.com/videos/centruroides_gracilis.wmv Enjoy, Frank

Actually, I *think* that central american C. gracilis are darker than the ones from Florida, which are lighter colored. Central american C. gracilis are also often mis-IDed, just like mine (which are darker), as they were labeled C. limbiatus because this species has a really dark phase...

Did she close business? I was planning to buy her a few mutilans this summer. :) Frank

The dog food was in a small dish and they managed to get parts out of it.. they're little beasts ;) Yeah, I forgot that I could use a heat pad to heat and create humidity, as for now I thought about puting a small light bulb over a big container with water and a scring on top of it so that...

Hi again everyone! I didn't lose one more hisser yet and I have another question. I gave them dried dog food that has been put to powder but this morning I saw that they moved some bigger parts in the substrate, which is wet peat moss. I really, really don't want any mite infestation with...

Tityus serrulatus! What do I win? Free babies? :D EDIT: Dang, I'm not the first one.. all this because I lost time trying to add smileys that doesn't work with my browser (javascript errors)! ARG!

I'll try different methods to keep humidity high while having a good ventilation and I'll give them dog food. I'll try this for a week hoping that everything will be fine and that I won't find any hissers dead again. Thanks everyone for the help! Frank

Ok, looks like it'll rain in 5 minutes in the hissers' container ;) EDIT: Actually, it is drying a lot faster since the lid is opened at 60%. I'll spray continously to wet down peat moss, instead of just wetting the top layer. Thanks everyone, Frank

I currently have 9 or 10 hissers, most of them being under an inch. This is why I'm using a small container for now.. ;) What is a "chick watering container"? What are "totes"? Do you use calcium powder (or dried milk) with your hissers? It says to add some to the hisser's food but isn't...

Thanks Mendi, I'll take a deep look at this site today ;) The PVC pipe was clean, it hasn't been used before and I did clean it with towels and water and such. When I put it in there were no more petrol vapors coming out of it (at least, no vapor that I could smell). Paper towels in the...

Hmmm ok ;) Thanks for the quick replies! Frank

Thanks ;) I'll add PVC scring on the lid to provide a better ventilation, I'll also add vaseline around the scring to prevent them from accessing it to eat it and escape ;) I've never liked the idea of giving dog/cat food in a humid environment because it was welcoming mites.. anyways...

Actually, I know there were Fort Boyard episodes made for Québec (the french-talking province of Canada.. ;)) featuring people from Québec but I do think that there were also other countries such as France that did their own shows at the same Fort. Anyways, I never saw this episode with a...
