RIP Cleopatara

[cashewman1]

My C vit cleo died, actually i think it died a day or two ago. Im thinking maybe from old age since it was a WC adult and belonged to someone else and then belonged to me. Anyways, either that or its possible i over heated since i had direct heat lamp heat, but it never read about 85-90. Idk what happened either way tis a saddd day

That sucks . I hope I'm not cooking my H. laoticus at the moment without knowing it.

sry bought the loss

 

[P. Novak]

Sry about the loss, this is the reason i never heat any of my inverts, i dont want to come home to a fried invert. Not saying that yours did, but you know what i mean.

Sorry to hear that Ryan, Not too long ago I also had an adult female C. vittatus die of unknown reasons.
Most likely old age since mine was WC too.


But did it come off the climbing structure and onto the ground to die?

'Shew,

She lived a very good and long life. Sorry for the loss.

yea it did,

thanks for the kind words everyone

bark- sorry indeed, specially since it was partly ur loss as well

 

[Ryan C.]

Eh, Mine did the same thing. Just came off the bark and croaked.

Again sorry for your loss C. vittatus are great scorps.

 

[canadianscorp]

Sorry bout the loss shew. i have found with Vittatus, they do a whole lot better in temperatures about 75 f, as opposed to 85 +. i have heard of many people having them die, seemingly to "dry out". next time you keep these i would suggest lower temps, and a good mist once a week, just make sure the enclosure is well ventilated, to prevent mycosis. hope you aquire some more of these beauties in the future. and again sorry for the loss.

cheers, steve

 

[cashewman1]

while we are on this topic. Is there anyways to preserve a scorpions body?

 

[Arlius]

Scorpion jerky (drying out), formaldehyde, alcohol, lucite, etc.

 

[Ryan C.]

I put mine in an airtight container and put it in the freezer.

 

[emperornewb]

why would you preserve it?

 

[canadianscorp]

why would you preserve it?

why not preserve it?

 

[Arlius]

Or you could preserve it in candy too (think of those suckers they have on that one site) I dunno if I would ever eat it though as you don't know why cleo died.
