Question Re: Thera Molted :)

A couple more questions? Just how big is Thera? Is that plate a saucer, or a dinner plate? Also, does she eat live mice?

Re: Thera Molted :)

nice! ever looked into uropogyds? sp??? they are some fun animals.

what sort of scorps you keep in the past? they are pretty cool, but i never had that many. their sting in the past always got me so i tended to steer clear. i remember looking forever to find some pandinus colei (SP?) but only one dealer who ran off had them.

got more pics? perhaps of her cage too? i love environment shots, even if captive.

Re: Thera Molted :)

Mostly bark scorpions and a few emperors, pandinus imperator. You really shouldn't handle any of them though since they get nothing out of it except some stress. They're like fish, watch them but don't play with them.

I don't have any more pics at the moment but I'll try to get some. I generally try to interact with them as little as possible so I don't bother to disturb them with photo sessions...

Re: Thera Molted :)

yes i totoally agree. my problems have always come from wild scorps, removing/sorting babies and taking them out of their shipping boxes. i never have problems with spiders and their speed, but scorps always managed to get me. you keep any asian sp. or american (north/south)?

That seems weird to me. I assume they are kept in a small environment for life. Is that stressful for them? Is flash photography the catalyst for panic disorder in scorps?

Consumer minds want to know!

Re: Thera Molted :)

I don't suppose the flash bothers. The habitat I keep for them is not real conducive to photograhy either with lots of little hiding places, they prefer little hidey holes to the open. I try not to take them out of their habitat because that is stressful to them, and my tarantulas too.

Re: Thera Molted :)

Here's Thera's latest moult. I bunched it up in a prowling position and dried it. It's sitting on a 10" paper plate.
