Get over myself???? What!!? You came in and completely threadjacked this emergency thread with completely unrelated information you had included in your own separate threads. You rolled your eyes at me when i did not wish to get into a religious debate and respond to your trolling. You did not cause the scorpions to die, you caused an emergency thread to go completely off topic, with no regard to the animals i was trying to save.:evil: :wall:
Agreed. No need to get angry. I had literally the same thing happen to me with an H. Longimanus mommy that died a couple days in to the birthing process and I took the exact same advice/steps provided here and saved 7 out of 10 1st instar scorps (Thanks again to abyss..they are now 2nd instar in a separate container and I'm waiting for them to get hardened enough to eat). I'm told this rate of success was fairly lucky and they could have easily all died. Sorry for your loss, but those are the breaks. I just had an H Spinifer scorp eat all 20 - 30 babies on it's back and I couldn't do anything to stop her, so I sort of know how you feel.
I am sorry about your loss. That really sucks. However, I am not sure how the other posters prevented you from getting the info you were looking for? I am sure if someone else had good information to offer about the situation, that they would have done so, regardless of the "side conversation" that was going on. I am not trying to start stuff, just playing devil's advocate here. I wouldn't want to see this blow up anymore than it already has.i think i need to clarify my anger. i am not angry that the scorplings died, we knew that was the most likely outcome. What i am upset about is the 9 post threadjacking that occurred in an emergency type thread. i am upset about her not following the board policy and staying on topic. It was uncalled for, because the instigator had a problem with my beliefs and seemingly did her hardest to totally distract the thread. If she had no pertinent advice, there was no reason for her to keep posting in this thread.
Pandinus, thank you for you advice, it was much appreciated.
You were quite clear. What I mean to say is that your anger was unnecessary. I received the exact same info you did and saved some scorplings (don't worry, I've also lost more than my share..you win some, you lose some).
