...place the scorpion into a heated enclosure. Also remove the Vermiculite from the substrate, it will mould like crazy when wet. Dehydration doesn't make scorpions act the way yours was, did you wash out the tank with soap, or bleach, if so you need to re- rinse the tank with plenty of clean water.

Thanks for help. Very helpfull <3

...animals, they are just nasty as hell and reproduce like crazy. Clean the enclosure and any surface you can find the mites on with a light bleach solution, replace any eggcrates/ substrate u used with your roaches. Not much more you can do when there are this many mites. To keep it from...

...Speaking of which our towel cabinet is once more coated in some weird gray mold again. Time to wash every towel in the house and wipe down the cabinet again. 10% chlorine bleach or 5% hydrogen peroxide? Decisions decisions. Gas yourself or dissolve a few layers of skin and scorch them olde...

If I intend to cast them into resin, would the cotton filled abdomen hold up okay? Do you think?

...inside (I like to set them on a bit of wax paper so they don’t get tangled in the batting) and seal it up for a few days. Some people add a few drops of bleach to the water to inhibit mould - a good idea if you might not get to it within a few days. You can stuff the abdomen with a bit of cotton.

No bleach

If you really need to bleach something, use hydrogen peroxide. No toxic residues. Keep in mind oxidization plays unholy hell with the connective tissues or whatever they are called and the bleached object often quickly disintergrates. But moss is way out there in hyperactive organism country...

I would not put any kind of bleach solution on anything my spiders will come into contact with.

...had outside as much as possible. So how do I kill the nematodes and stuff while still allowing the moss to live? I’ve heard of washing it in bleach, quarantines, drying, it all seems like the general attitude is “<edit>your outside moss, you shouldn’t have gathered it but bleach it 1:10 in...

Thanks I thought so, those were my results when I was a kid.

Yep, if it's direct and powerfull enough they bleach, literally you will get a very very light green/yellowish moss, at least with the Vesicularia dubyana.

I have a starter colony of them, yeah. They won't be able to clean anything large for a few months though.

No one can know as well as you particular factors specific to your situation, like how well-sealed your house is around the area you will be performing the operation, and how much outdoor air movement or wind will there be to disperse the ammonia. It's probably safe. If you can't smell the...

Yep, a friend of mine did exactly that, nice fumes 😂😂😂😂 when I heard this thing bubbles I inmediately knew what he did 😂😂😂 He is the kind of a guy who puts concentrate soap in the dishwasher...

Yes, it'll be done outdoors. Bleach should never be used on bone because it decalcifies and makes them fall apart over time. I'll be using a peroxide bath to whiten after they're cleaned. No chloramine gas for me thanks. Just wondering if it'll be safe for my spiders to use it near the house.

Insect collectors sometimes use ammonia in their killing jars. Very toxic to to insects and spiders. If you mix ammonia and bleach together, you could make chloramine gas that could kill you too. You will do this bone cleaning outdoors? That's good. I'm glad to see you use the pronoun "We" -- so...

...the tarantulas are kept obviously, but I still have concerns about the potential hazard to them if the fumes should creep indoors. I know that bleach can kill them in just a few minutes, but I haven't been able to find much about the toxicity of ammonia. The health and safety of my tarantulas...

Hi science friend! 🤓 What I’m thinking for cleaning the embryos is to put them in 5 or 10% household bleach for a few minutes then rinse really well. I work in an arthropod evo devo lab, and the butterfly people do this routinely to remove bad things from the surface of embryos. Bleach is fine...

Yes, wood and cork can be bleached -- either air dry FULLY, or use something like Prime to dechlor (best:both). I'd bleach the glass; vinegar doesn't kill anything worth killing, though it does remove most water hardness spots.
