Making a video series on how to ship

[enjoier14]

Your videos are awesome!:clap:
Very helpful.

I found the blooper video hilarious despite your growing frustrations

 

[tabor]

Me showing the basic techniques of handling, sort of cheating using a really really docile female. It's hard as hell to film and handle at the same time, but I think the ground level basic techniques covered in it are pretty sound for handling harmless scorps.

Nice. My video is the first one that comes up in the related searches for the handling

I never knew that you could use epi-pens for that purpose. My ex-friend who used to live with us was allergic to peanuts, so we had to keep a couple of those pens lying around (and stop eating PB&J sammiches ). They're not too cheap either! But, if it saves your life, it's worth every penny.

Any requests as far as care or if you need some aspect of the hobby explained? Slowly running out of ideas until my next shipment gets in.

Maybe making a setup for a burrowing species. You know wetting/drying sand the whole bit.

 

[enjoier14]

I don't keep many (none) burrows, other than a scorpio maurus which does not want to burrow, otherwise I would lol.

OK the video on packing the "large" stuff was horrible so I reshot it. Here is "How to Pack Big Bugs Pt.2":

great video! is there a cost effective way to ship large ones?

 

[tabor]

Just use priority shipping and a small box, should only cost $8-10.

edit: If your box is 8x8x8" and weigh less than 2 pounds it will cost $5-6 to ship via priority usually, still gotta buy the box ($2).

just a request for future videos
maybe some on breeding/keeping centruroides specificley, and maybe some info on the more uncommon species

Will do.

In the meantime, here is a "tour" of my "facilities" as well as showing off the area right around my place where I do some collecting and watching.

Just me messing around.


The next video like I said will be shipping in HEAT and that will be tomorrow. Then the next one will be removing babies after they have molted out of 1i safely. Then I will get to your requests bobtard.

"always necessary on cribs is to show you my whips, i got this one sitting on who the hell knows what?!" hahaha made me laugh a little bit
good stuff

You should let us comment.

 

[tabor]

You should let us comment.

It's not you I'm worried about. Last year I allowed comments and all these PETA people came out saying how cruel I was being to the "thinking" and "feeling" bugs.

Alternative housing for babies, this particular example is for bark scorpions, but you can easily adapt it to any species. Remember any small round container works (ziplock/gladware), they can be found at any grocery store.

Video coming in 10-20 minutes: Removing babies.

I'm expecting a few Centruroides broods soon
