Great info just got one less than a week ago and hes doing amazing
Thank you. Wait till he’s fat and full of food may not see him for a month 😂
@Chiefs Universe if it wasn't for him being so fat that he sticks out from underneath his piece of wood I've given him to hide under, I wouldn't have seen him this whole entire month, you were right.
LoL
Thanks for making this video,I have been wanting to get one for a while and this video is very helpful.
No problem glad to help
The bad guy version of the emperor scorpion. The psycho emperor. Definitely much more aggressive with stronger Venom. The emperor unfortunately is expensive now because of greedy overharvesting field collected specimens is much more handleable.
Thank you! This is very helpful, just got an Asian Forest and have always wanted to own a scorpion
Modify the top, you could cover it with some plastic. I used a piece of emergency blanket. I covered part of the open screen with it. Helps a ton. I have 2/3 of it covered humidity is at a solid 85.
Yes you can totally do that as well. I actually have started keeping mine in a 15 gallon plastic sterlite container and it is so much better.
best video about scorpion care. thank you!
No problem. Thank you 🙏
Thinking of getting one of these,I have many tarantulas and I hope to add a scorpion to the collection someday.
Great starter scorpion for sure.
Just got one today. Thanks for the info.
No problem
I just bought one at petsmart. I love it. I wasn’t sure if he had eaten yet but i threw in 2 crickets and immediately went for it!
I’ve never free handled any kind of arachnid but with Anubis, i went straight in and he didn’t even try to pinch nor sting me. He’s so friendly lol
And yes, his name is Anubis 😂
lol i just got it today and this appears in my recomendation. Comes in handy when the place where i live is tropical country
Very nice!
So when i bought my scorpion from petsmart and took him home, i fed him a cricket and he actually ate it...problem is most of those crickets died long time ago and my scorpion has been refusing/walking over/ not caring that food is in front of him and i admit I've offered some Dubia roaches, the much bigger ones that i get from a small size batch because i just don't think it's an appropriate size for my bearded dragon (five month's old i believe).....My scorpion is in a 10 gallon but he hides in the coconut cave he came with (i bought the same one since his little carrier had one but store folks took it out), i don't know whats going on with him as i mist his tank daily, sometimes he will come out during the day but sits there.
Thanks for the info ! I am preparing a terrarium for one of these, I reserved a juvenile Heterometrus laoticus, but I don’t know yet the size since the seller don’t have them yet because of cold weather. I have 2 enclosures, 60x30x30 and 50x30x38 and I probably will use the smaller one since I will need the other for other project, I hope is good enough, I will use when needed a zoomed heatmat 16w 20 cm x 30cm, seller told me they don’t heat much and that I should buy this size at least for this size terrarium, I still have 20 cm for making a cold area with more humidity, I would like to hear second opinion about this 😊
I think the 50cm tank would be great. I don’t use heat for mine and they are fine. If it is really small I would go with a smaller tank as well
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thanks for the reply, I will probably go for the smaller one, yes :)
loved it bro, true to the T.
In the country where i live these pets are really cheap they only costs about a dollar or two.
Hey i have heterometrus petersii for around two years now and tomorrow he started molting, he did great but now he's sitting whole day in the middle of his enclouser and has his dead skin on his back. It's not attached to him anymore but he still carries it on his back. I don't want to interrupt him but I'm not sure if he doesn't need my help. Should i try help him getting it off his back? Or is he going to manage it get off by himself?
Please someone help me. Thank you.
He should be able to get it off himself unless it wasn’t moist and humid enough it has become stuck but he should be ok
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Thank u so much for the fast reply I was a bit worried about him. Now I can sleep in peace knowing he can handle it by himself🙏🏻🩵
Found a the lil guy in my sandal this morning
I caught him and named him Alfred
Thank u for that informative Video!
No problem
Very helpful, thank you!!
Happpy to help!
Mine eats mil worms like a hot dog just holds it in its claw and chows down its so interesting to watch
Hahah mine does the same too
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse I just got him and he was worrying me because he hadn’t come out of his hide in a few days but it was right after I had fed him so your video cleared it up for me so thank you lol
Hey brother, i hope you can answer me a big doubt i have, do you know which of the following grows bigger; Pandinus Imperator, heterometrus spinifer, Gigantometrus swammerdami?
Definitely the Heterometrus swammerdami
My guy walks around at least twice a day lol
Great vid bro 👌
Thank you so much!
Always
I feed my scorpion every 1-2 days is that ok I am just wondering so I don't over feed her if this is OK what time should I feed it
avoid over feeding your scorp...you can try this feeding cycle (once a week or once every two weeks). over feeding your scorps will lessen their lifespan...and lastly, after your scorp have eaten, make sure to remove the remaining debris (legs,wings,head) that your pet doesn't eat to avoid mites and ants...
A pet rock😂
Thank you SO MUCH this vid is so helpful!! Can't wait to get my pet scorpion! 🩷
Happy to help!
I like how easy these guys are to care for in comparison to centipedes.
Oh yeah these dudes are the ultimate pet rock 😂
Can you use a atomic mister for the humidity
Okay so two questions, I have a heat lamp on my guy because my room gets a little cold and I also mist his tank like three times a day because I’ve noticed the heat lamp kinda drys it up but I have grocery bags on the top of the cage lid so the heat doesn’t come out, so my question is does that make it too hot? I sometimes will unplug the heat lamp
But he will also go against the side of the tank and stand up and kinda say hi
And then my second question is can I have two in one enclosure? Or will they fight?
ok so for the 1st question... it depends on what type of scorpion you have...if its a desert type, its ok if its hot all afternoon and slightly cold in the evening...if its a forest type, you don't need a heater (unless the enclosure is in an air-conditioned room). forest type scorp like damp and dark places...but don't damp their enclosure like daily...
for the 2nd question...desert type scorpions are NOT social critters even if they belong in the same brood (siblings)...they will eat each other (survival of the fittest)...while the forest type, they can be communal if...they belong in the same brood...there are a higher risk that if your forest scorps came from different broods, they might end up killing each other...but there is a trick to that...if you want to have a communal scorps (i can vouch for that since i have 5 communal forest scorpions), make sure that your enclosure is big...i mean REAL BIG and put a lot of hides for them to stay...hides would help them when they're on their most vulnerable state (pre-molt,molting,post molting). so if you're planning on having a communal scorp, prepare for a bigger enclosure...
hey my birthday is coming up and i was thinking abt getting a scorpion, the thing is i had a 20 tank for my snake but it had coconut substrate but the substrate is really dry now and is like messy i feel like the scopion will keep getting burryed in it, so do you think i should just get peat soil, idk its a gut feeling for me, also i have a heating pad, do you think its ok if i put it under the tank, idk if it will heat up tho, yk like underneath the substrate, idk your the master at this pleaseeee help me with some tips
I would try repti soil if you can’t make your own substrate like me. Repti soil is great just expensive. Heating pad should be installed on the side of the tank. If the scorpion burrows and gets close to the heat may he may overheat and die. You could use a low wattage bulb above the tank like a 50watt to bring temps up to a nice 80-90f
Hey there, just wondering on how long does it take for a freshly molted AFS to harden their new exoskeleton?
Usually a week
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse aight thanks for the info
I just got mine today and he's just chilling inside the storage box.... I'm afraid he will get out of the storage box 💀
If you give him everything he needs he will never even leave his hide
I am a bit worried about mine. Mine is a scrolling and has eaten twice in 7 months. I know they can go on real long hunger strikes, but I just want to know if mine is ok. It mainly just sits under its cork bark all day. He doesn’t come out at knight very often either. Is he just in a really long pre-moult.Thanks in advance!
Is he really fat looking? Or has fat on him I’d say maybe try giving him really small crickets or something that’s similar size of his claw. They can go months without eating but if he’s skinny I’d try to get him to eat
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Yeah he is skinny. I’ve been leaving some pre-killed pinhead crickets for it, it kinda seems scared of live ones. I attempt to give him live food as-well. I’ll give him a dead one, wait a day or 2 and if he hasn’t,t eaten it I try again in 4-7 days. He is a brownish coloration. He isn’t super skinny though, about the skinniness of yours. I keep him about the same as yours. Mist it lightly everyday, and I keep the water dish full.
@@Hedorah237 pinhead crickets may be too small fry giving him a little bigger.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Ok, thank you very much for the advice!
What if your scorpling falls from your hand 3-4 feet fall will he survive ?
Really depends. He could be injured internally and he could be perfectly fine. As long as he looks ok from the outside he should be good
So I must’ve not been paying attention lol, but how often do you need to or even clean their tanks? And if so, what is there to clean other than their moldings?
When I feed and mist I check and see if I need to pick up anything but they aren’t messy so don’t really have to clean their tank much.
Which sand the need to keep in!? & how many times we have to them ?? In a week or month??
These questions are answered in the video
Pet rock? I have an American toad I need to drag out of her hide she's buried in to change the water and feed her. But I'm lazy and anti-social so I water plants every other day and she comes out if hungry. Otherwise I wouldn't see her. Perfect pet for me. The Forest scorpion would be more active and the slight fear of getting wacked. My toad is poisonous but never seems to be released or doesn't phase me.
Your toad sounds just like my scorpion! You may have to get a forest scorpion so they can both sit in their hides and only come out to eat 😂
Be careful not to mistake being gravid vs. eating too much and withholding food.
I legit just bought one. It's a male for sure 😉 and he is already almost at that 6inch mark, which makes think I have wild caught one, which that I am not a fan of. I try to buy captive bred pets. Looking at this tank makes want to beat myself up, I only have this dude in a 5.5 gallon. I feel horrible now. I will have to upgrade him for sure.
Don’t feel bad. A lot of insects are actually wild caught. Unless you bought from a breeder it’s a 50/50 chance he is wild caught.
I'm thinking of getting one but I have a 55 gallon tank . Is that to much for one ? I only want one for now to see how it goes and the tank isn't being used for anything
No size is too big lol you could probably put two in that size tho 😂
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse would I need to petition it off or would they be all right just putting them together?
What stopped me from offering a hissing cockroach is that I read they have these symbiotic mites on their body like millipedes do so I'm afraid the Scorpion might get infested with them. #Santatank
how much do you have to mist them a day?
I only mist mine a couple times per week. Usually if it looks dry.
It is a hypothesis actually, not a Theory.
Appreciate you!
I use natural dirt from outside for mine and it works great.
You can! Where I live my dirt is insanely rocky only cactus and brush grow in it. However it’s perfect for alot of my desert dwelling species! I just go get a shovel and get bucket full of it for them
@Chiefs Universe yeah I live in Ohio. But I figured what is the best thing to hold humility and I figured dirt from the outside. I am going to do the same for my T stirmi when it's time to rehouse him.
A scorpion Just bit me! how big huge good when it comes to 🦂's the bigger the better a small one bites you don't keep it to your self! Indiana Jones
This scorpion venom or nonvenomous please one analysis venom video brother 🙏because i bye 2 scorpion
Gotcha
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse Gotcha means what 🤔
@@captionjacksparrow4547 means yes will start working on it
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse tank you brother God plus you im from India you're place
You buy Asia Scorpion
I got one 6 days ago and it hasn't eaten anything since
If they are already full they will do that.
How I trap a catch big scorpion
You can use a deli cup that’s tall. Then use tongs and gently push him into the cup. A paintbrush will work better because they don’t like the bristles.
Does the substrate need to be moist?
Yeah it’s good to keep it moist. Not soaking wet though. Just moist and not dry
Okay but how do I convince my parents to let me get one
easy... don't tell them
Where can we buy dirt for the Scorpion?
I have a video on how I make mine but you can buy it from Home Depot, lowes, garden centers.
@@ChiefSweetsUniverse ok thank you trying to convince my parents to let me get one lol
@@brendenferriola3297 really great pets won’t escape lol
Mmmm deep fried scorpion
😂😂😂
I was thinking my Scorpion was too fat so i stoped feeding him... I feeded him with RolyPolys and he got super faaaat and i wondered whyyyy xD
And today... She got Babys! I buyed a pregnant one 😰😱😱
Haha nice! That does happen quite a bit
How aggressive are they ?
Not very at all. They are one of the most docile scorpion species
