ok one another thing guys DESDERT SPECIES

i have done this trick with Androctonus species and no others yet
BUT if you use it with a desert species you should take
them out and place them in a dry warm area about half and hour
to an hour after they molt and are walikng around ok
to keep from any problems with micosys or anything of that sort

hopefully all this info will be of some use to you all if ever needed.

thanks..

i say not to put air holes because,
it holds the moisture in as well as the humidity,
and when they molt they can't get out on you,

also you dont want them to get dry because they will not molt
and they will just die so thats the reasons for no air holes

Telow, your work is much appreciated:clap: . It's people like you who are always sharing your knowledge and experience with others who make this hobby more rewarding for all. From my readings there are quite a few of you dedicated scorp-keepers who do as much as they can to educate others who are willing to listen and learn and I applaud you guys too. I don't post much but I just wanted to let you guys and gals know your expertise is invaluable.

Oh yeah, and I vote sticky for this thread too:D

ok guys i said i would post the progress,
of the next bunch i have to do this with.
so here it is guys. i started with 10 again,
but these were hottentotta trilineatus,
this time , but the survival rate is 9 alive out of 10 this time,
because the mom had pinched one so i didnt think it would make it,
but 9 did so its a good trick you can use if you need it.


thanks again all..
wayne.....

9 out of 10 alive this time
