Tiny black bugs in my Curly Hair Enclosure!!

Interesting.......quite sometime ago a keeper with a T. blondi if I remember right recorded it picking up and dropping a ping pong over and over.

Considering the ping pong ball had baby crickets all over it I wonder if it's sensing possible prey residue, I don't know. I didn't see it using it's fangs at all. It generally looks like it's exploring it.

I can tell you what my A. geniculata would do to it. It would absolutely destroy it like it did it's synthetic moss rock then threw it across it's enclosure.

I tried to remove the torn up moss rock with tongs while it held onto it and wouldn't let go.

Later on I opened the enclosure then cupped the T. I removed the moss rock and then had to pick all the Styrofoam pieces up strewn all over the enclosure that came from the inside of it, what a mess.

All my terrestrials love those moss rocks to stand on. My genic just destroyed it then wanted to mess with it as I wouldn't call it playing with it.

That's about right. I love my genic never had any issues with it but man....it can be destructive if you put anything in the enclosure.

I don't know if it's high prey drive plays a part in it or not.

I just remember when it had it's claws dug into the moss rock and wouldn't let go to just leave it for later. That genic could wind up on my face if I pulled too much Plus I didn't want it to get injured.

Sub-adult and adult T's are incredibly strong. If they get their front legs on something it's incredibly difficult to stop them without hurting them.

The weirdest S that I have EVER seen is my Androctonus Crassicauda Scorpion appaaaaaaaarently was hungry AF. I put a fake plant in with it cause I didn't want to add to much water to the enclosure and not even 2 minutes after I put it in I walked away came back and the like F***er was EATING THE FAKE PLANT!! Just munching away like it was ment to be. Luckily I caught her in time but I was like DUUUUDE!!!


I have never seen that before.

Oh man....

I never had scorpions. I know alot of T's will destroy real plants. Naturally they don't eat the plants but destroying they will.

I have no idea what this plant anger is all about.

Scorpian was actually eating it now that's funny

Update:
I notice Jeff been hanging out in the area of the small baby crickets alot. Now they have either all died off or my jeff did eat them all.

I’d cup the T, remove the substrate and put in fresh. Wouldn’t risk there being any hiding in there.
