I've mounted a lot of exuviae in the standard Riker mounts (box frame with white cotton) and once they've dried completely you can dab alcohol on the joints to soften them and position them how you want them. It takes some patience and a steady hand, but they come out good. I imagine if you...

If your house is around 78 all the time, it's not a big deal, but they do like it warm. It should be naturally cooler the deeper into the substrate you get, so the big thing is to not put any heat pads under there or put the enclosure on something that generates a good amount of heat. Infrared...

Here's a thread and a care sheet to get you going! http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?209197-H.-arizonensis-planted-enclosure&highlight=arizonensis http://www.care-sheet.com/index/Hadrurus_arizonensis H. arizonensis can be a lot of fun to keep. If you put a milk cap in the cage...

Spraying them with hairspray or puzzle saver sounds like a great idea. How long have they kept for you guys? I've had success with males that were at the end of their lifespan, since they didn't really have anything in their bellies. I've also read in entomology books that the common method...

read my sig lately? lol

Excellent! A great reference for those beginning with 'pedes too! Great pictures.

Perhaps it has to do with this I just hope th bees recover quickly and we don't take too big of a hit this season.

Bulldog- you do know you can have the glands removed right? I had a dachshund and she had issues with those as well. Apparently they stink AND itch for the pup. They can become impacted and cause problems too, but you'll both be thankful after removal.

most likely no.

I thought it looked like a crawdad or a crayfish carapace and at an inch long I think so even more :)

Well I'm no photographer, but I have a Canon S2 IS and it does wonders. It's quite similar (as far as specs go) to your kodak, from what I can tell. Here's a couple I took this summer when I first got the camera.These were from about 12 feet away, freehand. 1 2 3 And here's one a week...

Unfortunately it's a moot point- Statutes under animal cruelty law for Kentucky dictate that the legal definition of an Animal is as follows: 446.010 DEFINITIONS FOR STATUTES GENERALLY As used in the statute laws of this state, unless the context requires otherwise: (2) "Animal" includes...

Like nepenthes, I hope it's velvet worms. No idea bout their husbandry though, I would assume keep them a lot like pedes-real moist and such. Bees take a lot more time and study than you'd think too, but I imagine it would be fun in the right places. Oh, and bees have a "stigma" about them...

I agree with Pyst- Glass is great but plexi works if you can't get glass. Doesn't have to be real thick either. I also have been using split tanks for most of my terrestrials and have had no problems. Just make sure everything fits right. And siliconing the divider in place is the way to go-...

Perfect for a "guest" toilet, especially if the ocupant of the tank happens to be an angry P. murinus... imagine trying to go to the bathroom with a stridulating Pterror striking at the glass right there {D

If you din't have anything for them to climb on they most likely were climbing on and trampling each other. This can put holes in their exoskeltons, as they are not very strong or hardy creatures, and they will die in short order. Egg crates should help. How many scorps and what species are...

No. You definately need something stronger and not woven like cloth. Snake boots, thick hip-waders, pac-boots, anything thick and rubber that goes up to about your knee.

Tityus, Wonderful work! I've been meaning to do this for quite some time now, but I don't have any scorps with mycosis or the equipment/money for the agars at the moment. I'm wondering a few things if you don't mind me asking though- what temps did you incubate at? Is the "dermatophyten"...

Same as Count T. "When I get up, when I get home from work, and through out the night until I go to bed, and even sometimes in the middle of the night if i get up to go to the bathroom or get a drink"
