lol, trust me...I will, I would never willingly subject them to such conditions. I was kinda worried about them while my A/C was out...it wasn't bad for the first three days, but days 4 and 5 the apt was getting a funny smell everything being so damp. At that point I was a little concerned for them but they were fine.

Be sure to post the results of your studies :)

For a start I clearly said it wasn't me who fed the scorpion I was merely there after he did it.

Just because I witnessed it happen that does not mean I would do such a thing myself. So please just read what I say in future and accept the fact that when I say someone else did this somone else did, not me.
In future I will keep any comments relating to issues such as this to myself as I see some people are fragile minded and cannot handle statements like this.


I have no intention of doing anything that would harm a scorpion or tarantula.

Ryan, As I stated, = instead of watching one get eating by a Tarantula before, (Does not mean you did it. It is you who needs to pay more attention). I am sorry to be so crude but it bothers me to know, you did nothing to help for the better, and sat and watched. :embarrassed:

All i am saying is for your buddy to do it, and you watching and not doing anything to stop it, makes you almost as bad as him. I think it is you that has no brain. You say you collect them and would never do that, yet you sit back and probably sip on some Orange Juice and talk to your buddy as if nothing is happening. What is that? Please don't destroy the hobby. :embarrassed:

Well I live in the UK it gets pretty cold here. So I think I have less to worry than you do, Apart from keeping my room adequatly heated.

In no way am I trying to be smart I just get this feeling your trying to be condesending to me (I dislike it when people do so).
I also found a bit of humour in the goliath/scorpion response but really I'm pretty good at taking care of my animals.

So for the sake of arguement lets just let bygons be bygons ay?

Look personally I ain't interested about it anymore.

It can bother you all you like it was a few years ago now anyway. Is it not the same as you feeding a mouse or lizard to a tarantula or scorpion? because I only use insects I don't believe in feeding them mice (especially the crude way some people kill them), yet I don't whine like a little baby as you do. Their flesh and blood just like us, not inverts like a scorpion or T.
(When I say this I'm talking in the point of view of the people who do not understand T's and scorpions and see them as creatures to kill rather than to keep).

People who don't keep these animals would be disgusted at the way some people kill mammals to feed their inverts, So there is two side

<EDIT>Just because you keep inverts over mammals like mice. If your gonna whine over one scorpion that was an immature mistake made years ago then I think you should consider their loss.

Next time, think on.

Also I'd like to thank those who would argue with me for the most trivial things, just for the sake of arguement when it really is pointless.

I do care about the animals I keep, you personally do not know me.

Thanks for welcoming a new member to these forums in such a warm appropriate way (sarcasm). :clap:

To all the people who have been helpful and not acted like complete idiots, Thanks.

Ryan,
Sounds good, That is fair. we can be here all day arguing. The Truth is i do not watch animals that you say, you, "collect", die in pain. But good luck with that. That is like me throwing you in a cage with grizzly bears, and watching, my question is when and where can we set that up. :D

Or how about where and when we set up you and me in a fight wouldn't that be interesting?
I may sound civilised on here but take it from me in no means am I like this in real life, I sort my matters out with my fists.

So besides this wishful thinking I did ask for an end to this arguement minutes ago. You might care to stop now?

See you lower me to your level, and afterwards I think how pointless it was just because its on the internet.

Ryan,
Wow,

I did not mean to start a fire in your pants, calm down. (you dont want to fight an irish man :) -)It just irriates me to hear things like this. If I was in the UK, I would tell you personally, hell maybe we would even be friends in the end.

But we can drop this endless conversation,

Fair enough, It just irritates me when flame wars start up on the net. Personally I do not care about how tough someone may say they are on the internet, I'm just telling you saying things like chuck me in a cage with Grizzly bears is really just an idiotic comparison to make.

I have a short fuse and find sometimes I can be pushed to that point, causing me to say and do stupid things.
Heck i'm part irish myself.

On a side note I think i'll lighten the mood up here a bit.
Am I an animal you collect and hate to see dieng in pain? :D

Ryan,
Sounds good, how is your Hairy Doing. (I am not in T's and just got a baby rose hair - ironic for me :) -- ) But in all seriousness, this hobby is great :)

Ok and I apologise about earlier, you do realise I'm only 17(3 months from 18), when this guy did that stupid experiment I was only 14-15.

Was a long time ago and I really wouldn't do anything like this myself.

i apologize, i didn't know you were a minor

and technically i didn't quote you, as there was no source/citation

i just thought perhaps you would be less judgemental of others if the shoe was put on the other foot

My female is of a *similar* size and she is fully grown. Yours could be a touch smaller though. It also depends how big your hands are...

I suppose like any species of scorpion, Hadrurus vary alot in size.

Nice pics though.
