jha Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi guys just a few pics of my male desert scorpions.These guys are a very aggressive and not advised to be handled,but make very interesting pets as they are much more active compared to some other native species.Enjoy. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 These are the yaschenkoi arn't they? I'm thinking of getting a second species... not sure which one yet though, highly considering these or Urodacus armatus. Do you find that being more aggresive they are more interesting? The black rocks I got off you have to have their meals pre-killed lol then they just come and chew on it lol I want to see some action! Sure they will kill their own food once they are a bigger size though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jha Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yep these are yaschenkoi mate.More aggressive is def more interesteing mate lol.What are you feeding the black rocks Matt? I feed mine 2 pin head crickets every 3 days and they kill the prey themselves. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Get a Phyligalis (spelling) or Grassipiss (Lol, spelling) birdeater spider. Better than the basic ones, VERY agro, grow very big and eat live mice. That enough action for you Matt??? Ps. Nice photos again Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Do you have any expeiriance with the armatus? I want something that is very interesting. I feed them small crickets, can't get pin heads here anywhere. They seem to like them though. Lost one during a molt and another is MIAOMG, I'm terrified of spiders Paul! There was one in my room last night! It was watching me and it was massive! Like the size of a 20c peice! I was considering Phyligalis sp. sarina to help cure my fear at one stage but I doubt that would help. I'm thinking of getting a centipede as well, they seem very agro as well.

jha Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Not sure what the armatus ones your talking about look like Matt,but I have a species often called 'spider hunters'they are also a very awesome looking type of scorpion. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 The spider hunter, is that a species of Isometroides? Uradacus armartus has orange legs, claws, tail ect. and a brown body, very interesting looking. What are the sultanas for? Do they eat them?

DenningA.Rajit Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 hey guys, On the topic of scorpions, I was wondering if you educate a newbie here in looking after scorpios. I am very intrigued how you guys feed them, house them, temperature, humidity and food wise. Back in hometown in Malaysia, I find lots of wild scorpios crawling around and I want to keep one. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_95 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) What I do is I get a plastic take away container and I melt holes on only one side of it for a humidity gradient. For the species I keep I mix one part coconut fibre and one part course sand, works very well. I give them a flat rock to burrow under as they are rock scorpions. My guys are still only 1cm long and I can't source pin heads so. I get a small cricket and cut off all of it's legs and chuck it near the burrow.
