But nah man serious shes alot more chilled out than they are aswell, most of the time she just sits there happily hanging from a corner lol, shes really docile aswell where as ive read her species are supposed to be quite skitish, but shes not really, im very happy with her :D |

And yeah no worries aint much i gotta do anyway to take care of her, and no aint tried handling, although she does seem really docile her species are supposed to be really skittish so can rush off in the blink of an eye, i dont know if ill attempt to handle her at all, could also be dangerous if she starts shooting hairs if shes out aswell lol And once a week like my scorps with locusts |

Btw, i lost one of my scorpions the other day I am guessing there were some leftovers in the tank which attracted the ants. pretty lame, that’s my second scorpion loss due to ants So yeah, a little warning would be to take out all food items Btw, I wouldn’t put any outside material into the tank unless you put it in the oven first. I did that a while back and my red claw got mites on it, thought the wood piece was clean too |

It’s alright though, I am going to buy another one and hopefully it will be larger in size because this one was smaller than what I’d expected, so I’m hoping the guy will deliver me a nice sized one :D Yeah, I really don’t like those little flies. I don’t know how you can really get rid of them though. They show up whenever there’s leftover food, I think the smell attracts them. |

that one pic w/ the emp eating the locust looks like its stinger is about charge at the locust lol Dang, I feel sorry for that locust with your tarantula man That tarantula has it in a good grip and is inserting two fangs into it. Nice to see your scorps are active and healthy too I don’t think i’d ever handle a tarantula though, those fangs creep me out. |

Yeah i dont think much about handling my tarantula either, although she is really calm every time ive confronted her with my tongs and stuff she just backs off 99% of the time, her species are supposed to be a fair bit defensive but mine don’t seem that bothered lol, i tried to feed her just now and shes refusing to eat so maybe molt soon for her. |

yeah, I was planning on getting a flat rock myself they looks pretty cool with the stripes and their thin tails Yeah, I know a bit about them They like it much drier than the emperor scorpion and enjoy hiding in between rock slates I would keep their humidity at about 50% I would also keep them on dry coco fiber and have a water dish ready for them. That’s all they need really, the temperature should be 75-85 F as well. They’re quite docile like the emp and have a very mild sting. These you’ll be able to handle easily I’m sure. They are one of the longest scorpions as well, the males have much longer tails. So I would go for a male since they look cooler lol. |

Yeah serious well sounds easy enough dry substrate and some hide thing ill have to find lol, i dunno whether its male or female or not, ill let you know, they also still got that desert one i told you about, the tiny one, israeli gold scorpion, dunno latin name so dunno if thats any help at all, but think it would be a nicer and completly different experience to have one from very small rather than sub adult to look after, deffinatly wouldnt eat my locusts lol |

they are usually 25 bucks here Here’s an ok site with some flat rock info: http://www.petbugs.com/caresheets/H-troglodytes.html you can mix in sand with the cocofiber too, it’s good for burrows these like to hide in between rock slates though, like I said before. |

Most of the ones i’ve seen look half dead lol. That one has sweet stripes and a good sized tail too Yeah, rock slates are best for flat rocks. You can put smaller rocks in between the slates and stack them :D here are my pics by the way: This enclosure holds two Heterometrus petersii I changed my enclosure, got a live pothos plant it in, top view:

Desert hairy scorps are cool, but I still like the tropical species of scorpions better. They’re pretty easy to take care of, you don’t need to mist or anything, don’t even need a water dish. Yeah, it’s better to keep each scorpion in a 2.5-3 gallon container, 5 gal at the most. They really don’t need a lot of space. They’re supposed to be longer than emperors, but flat rock females should be around the same size due to their short tails compared to the males. Yeah, they’re not supposed to be bulky either lol. |

that’s freaking crazy man, you got your hands on a buthid. Those are pretty deadly lol. Luckily it came dead! lmao if you were to handle that and get stung man that would suck damn, 160 bucks! Aren’t those tarantulas pretty large? Dang, I wouldn’t get rid of the flatrock, if you can, return it back to the store or buy it a really small container, they don’t need a lot of space at all. lol you’re going on a buying rampage too. Make sure you take picks of that bird-eater |
