Excellent, thanks a bunch.

carpe scorpio · Jul 5, 2004

Seems gone now, maybe you can post an active link?.

leiurus · Jul 5, 2004

you have to click on the video link on the left of the screen. Then you have to slide the scroll bar at the botom to the right and there you go !!

By the way, AWESOME video

Never get tired of watching the way scorpions kill their prey. That's the reason why I like them so much.

enjoy

Thanks, I'll try it again.

carpe scorpio · Jul 6, 2004

I found the forum, and even looked at all their photos, but still can't find the video, help.

Yes, but always make sure to tell the medical staff that you were stung while visiting a friend who just got back from traveling to North Africa. "It must have been in one of the suitcases, nurse."

ROFL carpe!

Is this from experience?

They're nice scorps, fairly active and they grow to a good size as adults. Mine is one of the most voracious eaters I've ever seen. I fed it one of my multitude of pet Latrodectus mactans last night.

That's one wicked scorp. I will probably get one once I get my own house, and my son grows up and I have a room for my pets and tall tanks with locks! Seems like with most animals, the more attractive (to humans) the more venomoous or dangerous they are.

No, for the survival of our hobby this is what to tell them at the hospital. It will stop anyone from passing legislation.

good point. I think drunks and junkies use this tactic, although in a slightly different manner. I can see why you love the androctonus genus. The only thing keeping me from them is the HOTness

carpe scorpio · Jul 6, 2004

I just think of them like deactivating landmines, you aren't allowed any mistakes.

Yeah, she's a real cutie. I don't think the P. transies are particularly 'hot' when it comes down to such things (having an LD50 of around 4.25 if I'm not mistaken... the three scorps I have coming in tomorrow have LD50's that are considerably lower...), but from what I hear they pack quite a whallop as far as pain goes. I just consider it a great animal and an even better excuse should I really really not want to go to work some day.

.

I'm considering getting locks for my Androctonus and Leirus cages, I don't want to come home someday after work to find my sis has gotten curious and stuck her hand in to pet the pretty scorpion. As small as she is, I shudder to imagine what a sting from a full grown Leirus quin would do. In any case, it's always 'safety first' when it comes to keeping buthids.

Damn strait, how old is you're sister?
Btw can you post some pictures? Other peoples set-ups are always interesting. Cool video, that was one nice set-up!

My sister is 9, but she is incredibly small framed and doesn't weight terribly much more than she did when she was around 6 or so (she's not unhealthy, just incredibly active). I'll see if I can get some nice pics of my setups at the moment and will definately have pics of my three scorps that are coming in tomorrow as soon as they arrive.

Kindest,

The link ''video'' is the next one just under the photo's link. When you clik on it, you only see script written in french but on have to slide de scroll bar (the one at the bottom of the page) to the right then you'll see 2 pics. One of an emp and one of a Deathstalker...clik on the pics and ther you go.

hope you'll find it...the DS video is great.

To piss you off folks, I got my first invert at 13

It was a T, then I got my first scorp, a H. arizonensis when I was 15 (or 14? don't remember exactly :S), then an emp, then a bunch of other species, including buthids. Got a A. australis at 17, which I now know that I was too young for this species, even though I bought it because I *read* that it was active but the two I kept for a while (now only have one, which has been sold, but not delivered yet) weren't active at all.

Now, I sold all the species I didn't want anymore to stick within the Centruroides genus; I own C. gracilis (central-american) and C. vittatus, kick ass scorps!

It will kill kill her or make her deathly ill. You should keep them out of reach and locked securely if you can. Stop considering, and just get them. a $2 lock could save your sisters life!!

there was a thread posted recently, where someone was stung by a baby death stalker I think, and within seconds he was getting all sorts of symptoms. A 9 year old could easily die. You better start beng extra careful. If she get's stung most likely it will not be one of those "I'm sorry it won't happen again" moments
