I didn't mean it literally!....Would you use Bruce Willis's house number or telephone number to identify him to someone else.. There's only one Luc here mate...! Anyway dude, if you can't see the "reality" of what i'm saying then i guess nothing i can say is gonna change your...

I received a handfull of fresh 2nd instar S.mesaensis in october 06.. They are now instar 5 and 6 and i'm expecting some of the males to adult out this summer/autumn...maybe!. I also recieved a sub adult female at the same time as the 2nd instar and she didn't go adult until september 07 so her...

Yes, and that was also written by Luc....No joke dude, it's normal to credit people by their names and not some anonymous number.

Interesting although i'd have rather seen you credit Luc as such and not refer to him as member 323.....It's like refering to Bruce Willis as "that guy in a hard dying movie" His care sheet on V.spinigeris is probably the most comprehensive guide/information to this species available online..

I suggest you check out Jan ove's website Scorpion Files and compare your scorpion with Jan's Euscorpius ID key..Here's the address to the ID key. http://www.ub.ntnu.no/scorpion-files/euscorpius_id.php I don't know...maybe 3-6 years. At the moment, not to often, maybe once every week and...

Most Euscorpius spp mate in late spring early summer and then give birth the following late summer/early autumn.....or should that be the other way around........:? You have Euscorpius spp naturally occuring in Croatia therefor if your scorpions come from your own country all you need to do...

For what it's worth i had 4 H.cyaneus instar 4/5 in a communal setup that had been together since instar 2. Their enclosure was starting to get a bit messy so i fished them out and placed them in individual containers so that i could clean their habitat. Unfortunatly i had guests show up just...

Thanks Zach and i can see by looking at yours that you to have a good eye for the natural, well done....Those are some smashing looking habitats you've created...Very inspirational..:clap: Yeah, i was suckered..I paid 10 Euro extra for my supposed "ghost morph" allthough at the end of the...

which of course is at http://perso.orange.fr/eycb/scorpions/Fiches3.htm Yes i agree Michiel, that table of captive conditions is an excellent bit of work..It must be a recent addition to as i'm sure i haven't noticed it before. Well done Eric.

Correct. As for the balls i can't see how they could harm a scorpion, it's just that they seem pretty redundant. Your scorpions won't be able to crawl over them (glass at an angle x scorpion feet = no go) plus i could imagine that a scorpion could be tempted to try and wedge itself in between...

Fair enough. The only examples i have seen are my own so maybe there are other examples out there that are more translucent in their morph than what i experience with mine. So here's a couple of pictures so you can judge for yourself, maybe it's just me.. First up is a male normal morph from...

Your scorpion will think it's on some cheesy Star Trek set if you put it in that.....:? and as far as i know Brian is right.. There is a morph of mesaensis (from California?) that's got the common name "ghost" that is slightly lighter in colour than the Arizonan version however it's not as...

No, you are not wrong but there's nothing wrong with using it as a guide .. In this case i'd also be inclined to suggest that your scorpion appears to be more along the lines of tergestinus than italicus. Also coming from Slovenia it could also be E.gamma, germanus, mingrelicus, italicus or...

Yeps...good idea although i've allways thought VB's Data Manager to be a tad on the slow side..Especially with the amount of data you are intending to pump into it...better to go with Delphi or Visual C. Also feel free to copy and paste anything i have written on the boards if you can use it...

Vaejovis spinigeris Smeringurus mesaensis Scorpio maurus BTW, i have about 250 scorpions spread out over 21 species and a couple of dozen of tarantulas spread out over 7 species and i've still got a looooong ways to go yet.....you'll never be sated..;)

A quick flick on it's nose would put it out of it's misery...besides theres no telling what parasites that mouse has on it, or in it..

I know mould looks nasty when it starts developing on pieces of damp bark and for that feature alone is highly undesirable in a enclosure but does it actually represent a health hazard to a scorpion.? Does anyone have any hard and fast proof that mould in a emps enclosure is going to harm it...

Yes they'll eat pre killed crickets but also "parts" of dead crickets, meal worms, grasshoppers etc...Put a relative sized morsel in with them overnight and see if it's been moved in anyway the following day. If not theres probably a moult approaching or your temps are a bit to cool. Not...

I'd say change your criteria....;) Both emps and Opistophthalmus spp are about as exciting as a political broadcast once they've settled in as they both share the common property of being very reclusive...Opistophthalmus spp maybe a little more so.. I'd be interested in hearing why you...

It's pretty impossible to identify Euscorpius sp by a picture Joe. Your scorpions look like they could be flavicaudis but the only way to be sure is by counting trichobothria on the ventral side of the scorpion. Jan ove's site "The Scorpion Files" has a good Euscorpius key which you could use to...
