How would Jack Bauer handle this...?

Gonna move my less than calm pede to a bigger ck tomorrow. That should be lots of fun... Will get some pics if I can (prob of him sinking his jaws into my hand...) Yikes! Agreed, very cool thread! Bill

Really nice setup. Clean and organized. I'd be embarrased to show my setup. Ony have one in a plastic CK, a 7" Giant Viet. The enclosures you use are a bit low for my taste. This guy is very aggressive and would easily climb over the edge of those containers. Specially at feeding/cleaning time...

I have to agree. Just the scorps "body language" if you will convinced me that the bicolor choose to stay on the damp piece of towel of his own choosing. That and watching my newly arrived LQ drink from a bottle cap for 40 something minutes with his face in the water is to me, proof that they...

Pretty darn cool!

No worries with that. I wet it every week or 2 like you said. Also keep the lamp on till it evaporates, usually overnight.

I do just what Rod suggests, but extend it to adults as well. Last nite's bed check revealed my A. bicolor lying on top of the wet piece of paper towel. Looked quite happy too... I figure its there if they want it, and if not, no harm done.

But new news for me, and I'm sure for others as well. I appreciate the repost!

Hey buddy! Sorry to hear of your loss. No worries tho, we have faith in you. Life is basically a trial and error routine. Bill

Wow, I had no idea. I completely agree tho. What Deftones says about FedEx is also true. I like knowing exactly where things are, and with FedEx, you do. My worst fear with any shipping co is getting the box crushed or ripped and no animal inside. That would be a nightmare. Don't want the postal...

Breaking the law? Can u expound on this for me? I have ordered about a dozen specimens (most fairly hot scorps) ant the only guy shipping fedex routinely was Ken. All others were sent USPS. Thanks

One of the new kids in my collection. Taken with a Microsoft LifeCam and didn't seem to bother him at all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRgbpMyu3Cg

Nice vid. Someone was hungry!

LOL, I was thinking the same thing, but in NY/NJ that kind of "vegetable" growing equipment may get unwanted attention from the cops... We are not as liberal as you west coasters, at least not yet <wink>. The OP also mentioned cost as a factor, I'm guessing that that type of lighting is...

I guess some of the tender stuff is. All of the plants I grow now are tropicals for terrarium use. The OP said he had no direct sun on the house, so veg plants would be difficult. I also bring in the tropicals to my garage, but it is heated. Thats where they winter. Not sure what I'm gonna do...

I think you are going to be out of luck my friend. I tried this a few years ago with a few starter trays of assd veg plants using a 4' florescent fixture with 4 gro lite bulbs. I the trays near a white painted wall and on a white surface to better reflect the light. It was fine for a month or so...

Guys, this is great. Never thought of it. I just got an OptiVisor from Amazon in order to actually see what all my scorp babies look like, check for mites, etc. Def gonna pick one of these up. Travis, which one did u get? Bill

And why the hell not? Go for it!

Ok BigJ, enough of the suggestions. This is decision time my friend... We await your report (and pics)! Just placed an order from someone on the board for 3 T. Stigmurus sub-adults and 1 T. asthenes adult. Will let you know how that goes. Bill
