Heterometrus spinifer

These don't see the limelight like my Buthids but they are great scorps in their own right. I'm sure G Carnell agrees.

 

[G. Carnell]

oh oh oh yes i do

if you offer him/her a water bowl, itll clean itself up and look all shiny (normally)

My P.imp have water residues in her exosqueleton. Can I solve it if I offer to eperor a desionized water bowl?

 

[G. Carnell]

hehe
yea distilled or deionised

are u sure it isnt just "muck" ??
do u spray it directly?

 

[Androctonus_bic]

Yes, I spray my imp directly, and in the exosqueleton junctions and depresions have an acumule of something white that is easy to supose that is water residues.
Do you think that is better to spray the terrarium whit destiled water?
Of course the water that I give to scorp for drink is mineral water.

And the last question: I have also an H. arizonensis, but she never drinks in the dish. Is necessary use the water dish or this kind of scorpions obtain the water requiered just eating crikets?

 

[G. Carnell]

Hola
In Africa, they are sheltered from the rain, whether it is from burrows, trees and small bushes or termite moults


so stop spraying the scorpion directly, it obviously isnt good for its image

 

[TheNothing]

my H.a. only gets a bottle cap of water once a month for over night, and i've not seen him take water from it (then again, i don't stay up ALL night to watch)... they're rather accustomed to getting water from their crickets... especially if WC... i consider it a bit of a pease offering...

 

[Black Hawk]

just as a sort of "curtesy" you might say, i always have fresh water for all my scorps including my HA's. but as TheNothing said, i've yet to see it drink from it except for once when i first brought them home from the death trap of a pet shop they were kept at.

poor little blokes....

this thread is REALLY long, i think it's time it were made sticky status, for sure.

Tityus trinitatis moulting to 3rd instar:

 

[G. Carnell]

wow.. those trinitatis are EVEN more beautiful than the paraensis!!
all yours have moulted?
only 2 of mine

 

[fusion121]

None of my paraensis have moulted yet, hopefully they will soon.

 

[G. Carnell]

hi
the day after i fed one it became greyish and moulted within the space of 12 hours or less

 

[fusion121]

Since you mentioned it I've just checked, 3 of them have moulted over night, nifty (agressive little guys, kept flailing at me):
