I actually don't think I wasn't polite. I just was honest with you. I wasn't insulting or call someone pompous asshole. The people 2014 years ago already knewed that you should threat people the way you wanna be treated. So stop complaining someone wasn't polite enough when he was showing your...

I don't know how it's about the whip scorpions, but compare tarantulas to scorpions is pretty hard in this case Because I doubt that most of the tarantulas offered are wc. With scorpions you have a pretty hard time if you search for a special species which isn't not wc if you don't live in...

No I'm absolutely not drunk I'm just angry how often you can read hear posts like " I recently bought a scorpion now please tell me what I have to do to keep him alive?" Instead of " I'm looking forward to buy a scorpion please can you help me to get prepared as good as possible to give him a...

No heatpads not needed you can also heat with bulbs which is the even better way to heat. Same with T. Even if you think it's obviously that they don't need any heat the only obvious think about T's is they prefer heated areas. As far as keeping an animal alive isn't the goal of keeping animals...

As you seem pretty new to the hobby I try to explain some things to you. Scorpions not eating for weeks isn't anything to worry at all, especially if it's an adult specimen. They often fast for several weeks, so if it didn't ate at the store it wasn't any reason to assume near death. When...

Even though a tarantula don't cares for the light as the plant do, light is a natural and everywhere existing source of life. It helps humans, pets and plants to regulate a day and night rhythm. So the light is needed won't harm your animal absolut not. It might have even a more natural rhythm...

What is totally unacceptable? That a wc animal is old and died soon after you bought it? Actually you could have known that this chance exist with an animal where can't determine the age. If the petstore refund it they do it just because they wanna be nice. It's not like you have bought a used...

Michiel said already something about the hide. Even if you were saying "but he uses is every day" it's still no good hide for scorpion. If he will use it its just because no other possible hide is available. I don't wanna be rude even though the next might sound so to you, but to you even like...

I don't know how the humidity is in southern california. But if it isn't super warm and dry in the room the enclosure stands something goes wrong if you mist every day or other. Even though caresheets always say they require high humidity, that's actually not 100% true, because they actually...

I have no problems with new scorpions arriving the hobby. The problem with these trends is that people buy scorpions and a couple of months later may be another more interesting scorpion arrived and the people don't care that much about the "old" one. For example the M.eupeus haarlovi from...

Yeah that sometimes happening with local bark, actually I don't know exact why but I think it's a matter of the sort of wood and most likely also depending on the ventilation in the enclosure. The fact that your hygrometer works is fine, but I still recommend not to use it that much. May be...

That specific sentence was referring to you saying "Wild scorps will continue to be taken from the wild whatever you buy". But I also think we should "teach" the beginners a responsible and respectful dealing with these animals. It should be a exclusive thing for advanced keeper.and breeder. To...

Don't get me wrong, but has anyone ever seen a drowned scorpion in a "normal" water bowl? I don't think that would happen. In that case the dish looks not deep enough that they drown as long as they stand stilting in there. And I know scorpions in general haven't a high frequent breathing rhythm...

Well first of all: the enclosure looks pretty good, BUT I would do maybe some small adjustments which aren't really necessary but might in help in a certain way. Even though they don't dig burrows I would recommend to add some more substrate. If you have such small layer of substrate it will...

Yeah but assumptions also can be wrong, so I thought to add that info. If everything has change fine, if not the post might help to think of getting another substrate.

Well over here its nothing else with that sort of trendy species. In my experience it's pretty much about having new rare species over here. When I think 2011 or 2012 H.minusalta (back in the days uncorrectly named as H.saulcyi) came up in the European hobby everyone wanted some. They were...

Until know I never seen a female killed the male directly after mating. Some are communal enough to kept together the whole time. Some species the females get more and more aggressive and will kill the male with advanced gestation. In general I recommend always keep the most gravid females...

Why do you think scorpions have a much higher metabolism? Even if the have the have no noticeable difference for human. Do tarantulas not need specific "care"? For example P.metallica is known for their specific care needed for successful breeding. Heating an enclosure is in my opinion nothing...

I saw that post. But even if that sort of substrate is moist a scorpion will not able to dig in it. Moisture isn't the only thing a heterometrus sp needs!
