Sure thing! http://www.skorpione.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11973 Regards Finn

+1 for KDiix. The amount of UV radiation in a incandescent light bulb is close to nil, take a look at a proper spectrum. With the overall intensity of light emitted being rather small, there is no way the UV component could harm "anything". I am not aware of any cases of natural UV damage being...

That's exactly why I did not take that into consideration before (except for limiting the instar to 3 :) ). But I just took a look into my sheets, and my fastest specimen reached instar 3 in 3 and a half months (after reaching instar 2). So yours will be instar 2, which coincides with the size...

I see, then we understand each other :) With measuring properly I meant the accuracy, yes. A picture with a coin can be misleading so I wanted to make sure. The offer still stands, if you give me some measurements, I will compare them to my young and then we can be quite certain of the instar...

You are right that I should have put in the name, of course. As for measuring a scorpion, that is done by measuring from the tip of the prosoma (where the mouthparts are) to the end of the metasoma (tail). Some include the telson (stinger) and some don't, but it does not make a real difference...

I meant Galapoheros when asking the question. But anyway, measure them halfway properly (do you know what to measure when one says "measure a scorpion"?) and I can most likely tell you (Remember, I may have never seen the coin in your picture in real life so the picture bears no significance...

Which instar are they in? Regards Finn

B. jacksoni can be kept rather cold, so 26°C should be fine. But of course keeping a scorpion colder always tends to retard development. But if nothing is rushing you, they should breed and develop at that temperature. For a more detailed read you can take a look into my caresheet (which...

Why not put it on the backside? :) Regards Finn

What I meant to say is that you do not need to bother with proper ventilation in case of any species that is kept dry. The thing is this: Poor ventilation does not increase relative humidity (which is what a hygrometer usually measures), it does only prevent the water vapor present to escape the...

Kepping a scorpion on the dry side and ventilation being quite important does not go along logically. I don't know who told you that but it does not make sense, even if I had never kept or raised H. troglodytes. Since I have in fact kept and raised them, I can even more so tell you that it does...

I doubt that anyone can say that his specimen died because of this particular placement of a heat mat, simply because even if a specimen died and the heat mat was placed like so, the implication that this was the cause is still open :) So as you already stated it is a matter of trying to...

Try to keep it as dry as possible and maybe employ some predatory mites. You can try to swap the mites with alcohol but I found that not very helpful. If there are no other animals in your stock at risk, you might try to save it. Otherwise I would not risk others being infected and kill the...

And they are damn aggressive and hard to handle with tweezers, so it is a rather silly idea to start with them. It has nothing to do with respect. Respect you can have to begin with, experience in handling these animals you do not! Regards Finn

What's with all that ICU stuff? What is that supposed to accomplish anyway? What would the beneficial factor be? The best you can do in my opinion is nothing at all, minimize stress and hope for the best. Regards Finn

Might be so. Wait a day more and if there is no movement until then, you have your answer. Regards Finn

Yes, they do. But if it really was a molt, she should be through by now. Regards Finn

No, it does not apply to most scorpions, especially not to CB ones, since that somewhat implies that they can be reared as well :) The list you are asking for does not exist and most likely will never do so, because there a excessively many species in the hobby circuits. It's not all just...

She might as well be molting! Leave her alone, do not stress her or poke her, or you might do the damage. Regards Finn

Wow, looks more like a scorpion than a camera phone! :D:D Regards Finn
