mumofthehoarde Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I guess it is cute...in a scorpion sort of way...not my cup of tea...they hurt when they sting..But I am also not into spiders or snakes either. I am curious to see its housing tho...got a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Just a biggger container with different coloured sand, they would get lost in the tank I plan to put them in. No pictures sorry, I'm actually not supposed to be online I don't like spiders either, I was bitten while sleeping 3 times in a week.. I especially hate the ones like funnel web, mouse spider ect..

les Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hey Mighty Matt What on earth do your parents think of that? You know if you dont want your Mum in your room you dont have to go that far as keeping scorpians LOL When I was 14 I got sick of my Mum comming in to my room so I put a fish tank in there and put eels in it but she didnt mind untill one day she went in the room and an eel had got out and she freeked leaving the lid of a little will do it. Ahh we still talk about it a family gatherings and she shivers and we laugh Ok So how big will they grow? where do they originat from? Will you use the to scare people ? and what do your parents think? Cheers les Ps I think they are cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Matt's motto is, "ask for forgiveness, rather than permission". I don't particularity agree with that (seems to be asking for trouble in my opinion).. but he didn't get into trouble this time, I don't think. Lucky.. this time.

Matt_95 Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Mum and Dad did say yes... admittedly it wasn't recently, I told Dad but he forgot and was lie kwhy didin't you ask blah blah blah? They don't really care though, they arn't to aggresive or dangerouse and they can't get out. I don't keep them in my room though, the mess keeps my parents out I got them off Jha, They get to a maximum of 55mm I think. I really like them, I was supposed to get more food for them today but I'm sick :( Edited January 21, 2012 by Matt_95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Update time! They haven't molted yet, hope they do soon! I lost two though, not sure why... I have a urodacus yaschenkoi, liocheles sp. north brisbane and a pregnant black rock scorpion arriving this week, cannot wait Also looking at buying a centipede.After a big meal How I keep them, one per container, all similar to these. The substrate, looks a bit wet at the moment, should dry out in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 When were they born? They only moult once a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm not sure when but I was just told on AIF they look ready to molt soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My new scorpions arrived, there was a fair few problems though lol, the gravid female gave birth and ate her babies and the yaschenkoi escaped so the guy said I could have an elongatus and a pair of black rocks for the same price, then the elo died the day before he sent them so he gave me a free black rock. I am looking at getting a tarantula now to get over my fear of them. I used to live next door to one of the top scientists in the world for spiders, he would be the top one in Australia, I loved spiders back then So I now have 6 black rocks and 1 liocheles sp. North Brisbane. Pictures in a month when I am ungrounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 what do you guys think? Liocheles sp. North Brisbane, not sure on sex or age... it is around 4-5cm Male Urodacus manicatus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ophelia Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 It's very easy to end up with a heap of them isn't it. I started with two, which turned into 17, then one died which was replaced with three more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 OOh nice, what species? Any pictures? Sarah, this is how I keep mine. theres a rock in this one for the 2nd instar in there. The adults I use ketapang leaves as I can't find rocks the correct size, bark would be better, or a flat rock they can build a scrape under. this is one of the female manicatus The other female Got some more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice!! Are the holes on the damp or dry bit of the substrate? Did you happen to take any pics of my girl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_95 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks Jim, the lio is on pure coco peat and the others all have a mix of 50/50 coco peat and play sand, much easier for them to dig so I will change all the babies over to it soon. I'm not sure of their locales, not going to breed them because I think they are all from different areas, the guy i got them of wasn't sure, I'll keep a pair in a communal tank for a display next to my bed though and if I get bubs then I can just keep them or give them away :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
