"You're always a pain my love, what's different" hahahahahaha 😂 I just love you two!!! I look forward to each video you post!
❤❤❤
Eek, but I know you love em Dave and T. You must be tickled pink, you look like a child in a lolly store, they are fascinating to watch and we could see the green shade too. 😂💝🕷🦂
Same sentiment!! 😂
He makes handling his animals look like a work of art. That results in happy and calm spiders and other inverts! You could be an online professor for invertebrate care. Emperor scorpions glow a pretty green under uv light ❤ maybe show us with a uv light sometime
Thats a cool idea 👍
Soo true! I envy Dave, because I shake like a leaf on a tree! 😆
I think most scorpions fluoresce under UV light
Art ..Especially with brush in hand
OMG. 👍
Fascinating, beautiful creatures! But crikey they're big. 😳 Some feeding footage would be fantastic.....and educational. 🦂🦂😎
We will try ❤️👍
That made a pleasant change - nice to hear the interaction with Camera Lady as well, asking some great questions. 👍
I’ve only a couple of tiny issues with scorpions: The sting, the claws, they don’t understand English - but they *do* look amazing under UV light, and there’s science behind that, it’s not just a quirky party trick. Could never own one though, but great footage and congrats on your new beasties - good luck with pairing; now *that* will be a fascinating video to watch. 👍❤️💙😉
We need a history of the Beaties Room Dave! The early videos when the room wasn't floor to ceiling beasties up to now when it's filled with cool critters. Love you guys!
Not my favorite but very impressive beasts .
Really nice to have camera lady's input and asking some questions that we like to hear .hopefully she will do more of the chat sometime . thank you
Sir you are a National Treasure! You videos are informative and entertaining. They will go on educating folks for many years . From my heart i thank you brother!
Wow, thanks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Magnificent! Love the colour and texture of their exoskeleton. Thank you for showing your new scorpions and sharing info on housing materials😁
Just amazing….your mindset on breeding to help the wild is fantastic…Dave thank you so much for sharing 👍❤️👍
So nice of you
Had some both for myself and the shop I used to work in before I believe they became illegal to import. I will add they appear to drink a lot, so the water bowl is important. The sting isn't even that bad. They would rather push away with the tail when irritated than sting. You really have to work at it and get caught by accident for a sting. First time I got a very small blister like mark and a barely noticeable electric sensation up my arm. Nothing since (could have been dry stings, those). Only reason I was stung at all was I couldn't stop handling them and showing them off. And if you play with fire long enough you will get burned eventually as the saying goes.
I like it when your partner asks questions because she often asks things that I'm wondering about at that moment.
I got a gravid Asian forest scorpion (with a little haggling) when the shop I ordered a spider from contacted me asked if I could cancel or take an equivalent cost alternative. Really cool experience seeing the mom carry them around. I found scorpions way easier and less worrying than tarantulas. No bolts, not teleporting, not climbing up the side, and more likely to pinch than poke haha. She always walked around like a tank too. Ended up really enjoying caring for it, but left it in China with a friend who really liked seeing it whenever he came over.
Look at the claws on those things! Definitely a beast who's going to put up a fight if it needs to.
Emperors are one of my fave animals they remind me of the Roman fighters with all the armour on its ❤❤ stunning beasts
Great vid and a smashin change to see the scorpions in the spot light ... cant wait for updates on these guys .
I used to volunteer at a Butterfly Pavilion. They had several large tanks with Emperor Scorpions. I was amazed at how very social they were with one another. They had 4 adults in each tank and they seemed to really like being with one another. They also seemed very gentle when being handled. Not to mention how beautiful they were.
Kept em for years, had also 4 adults in one tank. They did very wel and had babies constantly.
That white stuff in with the scorpion is called Perlite, I'm almost positive. I use it when I'm growing mushrooms. It also retains moisture quite beautifully and is great to lock it in. I hope your ear gets better, Dave! I hate earaches!
thank you❤️❤️❤️
Nice video as always Dave.
I like how smart scorpions are. Absolute tanks. I remember Emperor scorpions being really common and cheap back in the day too. It's shocking to hear they've gone so rare, and at the same time, good to know you've started a breeding program. Keep up the good work! I do prefer how elegant tarantulas are though.
Yes they are!
Wish we could get big bags of sphagnum like that here in the US!
I don't get why people are afraid of these beautiful creatures! They are lovely and unique and majestic!
I use to be afraid but not anymore🥰
Dave! I swear you’ve been keeping an eye on my collection because the last several videos have all been recent additions 😂 yet again another wonderful video. Thank you, Dave!
Dave have you ever seen a fully grown Heterometrus swammerdami , these are tiny when when compared to it🧐🧐🧐
Amazing species....I had a lovely female in my teens, I could handle her with no problem, I would even hand feed her. Thinking of getting one again!
They DO have the most badass scientific name. 😎👍💥🦂
Beautiful🥰🥰🥰 Here in Italy it is difficult to find them lately, if they are found they cost 250.00 euros each, until 10 years ago they were at 30.00 euros. Congratulations😉
Gosh, that was great, Dave & Camera Lady! I knew absolutely “zippo” about scorpions before. At least I can appreciate them now! Thank you!
Now I like those creatures. I could look after one of those. By the way, everything is shockingly expensive today. I used to fetch my old Mum a large piece of beef and get change from a ten bob note. A bag of crisps cost that now.
A very well armed creature amazing
I'm a Brit living in the CA desert, i started watching your channel to help with my fear of spiders. Yesterday, i was able to relocate a Tarantula in my front yard to a safer location. Helped immensely by watching you gently work with your beasties. Thank you!
Thats awesome well done and thanks for supporting our channel ❤️👍
You are very brave but Dave is such a good teacher so you did a good job.
Interesting and unique
We are all happy now Davie is back for us all to see.
I remember back 2007 only paid £12 each emperor scorpions each. I had two makes and two females had them 4 foot long terrarium all kept lot hiding spaces both females pregnant and give birth few days apart . Great experience. Bought two Pandinus viatoris Cave scorpions another great African species I kept before hope breed them. Got some sake on mantis den 👍
Very cool. I enjoyed them running up onto ur arm. It reminded me of several movies where the scorpion slips into the bed of the sleeping victim. Like they are so deadly! 😮
I had an emperor scorpion some years back. I never used to pick it up like that i always scooped it up from behind. Mine used to just lay itself totally flat on my hand with the tail laid out up my wrist. I think it enjoyed soaking up the body heat.
This was beautiful 🤩
Thank you for your videos
Lots of love and respect and greetings from me in Amsterdam the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Dave I'm amazed that you not only keep tarantulas but scorpions as well. Last Saturday I bought a Congo emperor scorpion. Th only difference is that the regular emperor and Congo is the tailson. One have a black tailson and the other have a red tailson. I hope you do a breeding video on them. Mine is a male but it's still small. I named my Congo emperor Draco because I love dragons.
18 yrs ago I was a 16 year old kid who walked into a pet shop and thought it would be cool to have a pair of scorpions. Good thing they are forgiving because I was clueless and eventually gave them back to the pet store. 😂 I've matured a lot since then and now I always do my research before even considering getting a pet.
❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Yes yes yes I was waiting for this
Watch out with that spider shop sub I got their arid mix and burrowing mix for my t's and every viv I used them in grew mushrooms of the magic variety 😳 I just pulled the mushrooms but still not ideal in a sling viv should be fine with bark flakes but still watch out just incase. Beautiful scorpions and great upload as always Dave Camera Lady 😊
They are very strange looking and very big. But if I got a scorpion it would be one of them because they are not afraid of people.
Thanks as always!
it is mesmerizing to me, watching these scorpions eat. the way their mouth works is just so interesting
Land lobster! Pretty beasties. More placid then I would have thought.
those are some good lookin scorps
On Frazier Island Australia, the scorpions glow in the full moon light, they are black threw to brown, but they glow white in the moon light, big claw little sting, little claw big sting, amazing animals.
I bought 3 and 2 of them died within 2 months. They were mature males. Probably wild caught. At $85 each it hurt the pocketbook. My bf got lucky and got a pair right away. He put them in together and they mated the very night he got them. Hopefully we get some babies.
Good luck 🤞
If I get to be half as knowledgeable as Dave then I wouldn't be doing so bad, his videos are brilliant and he honestly deserves more subscribers.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
👍🥰
I'll be looking forward to seeing more of the scorpions and how the breeding program goes. Thanks for mixing it up a little. So for them I'll be calm be gentle and love your beasties.
Wow this video makes my want one, they look really cool. Thanks Dave for sharing !
The sexing was very interesting. Amazing video as always Dave
oh my i'm early today
Emperors are common in the states still if I remember right. Always liked the emperors
My first creepy crawly was an Emperor, miss him dearly,would free handle all the time,never had an issue,thanks again,want a new one again
Ohhh, "loamy"... Dave breaking out the geology terms 😂. I love the soil mix. I use Cypress mulch, fir bark, orchid bark, etc, in my soil mixes as an aggregate for burrowing tarantulas like Ephebopus. They'll web to the larger pieces and reinforce their burrows. It also allows a bit of airflow in the soil, so it doesn't get stagnant down in the burrow. One down side: the bark is prone to molding slightly, especially right after setting up the enclosure. It's not that yellow potting mold (common with coco fiber), it's a white-grey fluff mold. I'd add a few springtails, and they'll usually eat it right up. If not, the mold will use up all the nutrients on the surface in about 2 weeks, and it'll just die off.
You can see the green you were talking about they are very nice looking. Can't wait for some babies 😊👍
Fingers crossed!
So beautiful 🐺❤️
Love your channel mate, so much knowledge
Much appreciated❤
Slight off topic question, is it possible to place the mic a bit lower? Sound is a little distorted. Thanks, and great video! :)
Noted!
Emperor Scorpions are cool. Remember when there were loads of these about. Like the Chilean Rosea people just stopped buying them, and they became harder to come by. I can't wait to see more of these impressive scorpions in the hobby... Thanks for showing these Dave.
I believe they were added to CITES and very few people bothered to try breeding them because of their availability. Really sad that barely any attempt was made with this easy-to-breed species to establish it before it was too late
Somehow I just have a soft spot for critters with big ole claws. And these are pretty big! Good luck breeding em Dave, I think I can see a lovely relationship between them already 😄❤
Great vid mate enjoyed that
Awesome vlog Dave .
Good work on the enclosures Dave. Should be spot on for breeding when she’s acclimated.
dave, I love this channel, you and your wife do such a good job filming these animals and giving knowledge. Very much appreciated!
sidenote: Mrs. Beastie, you get some great shots.
Thank you so much ❤👍
That's a nice green sheen on the scorpion. They also look more like lobsters than spiders, haha. Love what you're doing.
thank you 🙏
Another informative and captivating video from the Beastie Room...
I don't know how I feel about scorpions, we have lots of very small and almost translucent ones here in Coastal Australia though I'm told they have an impressive sting on them, they have extremely small pincers so I guess venom is nessesary, we get so many coming into the house that we have shag pile carpet mats in front of the doors as they get stuck in it and can't get out until I safely collect them up and take them back down to the scrub at the foreshore... Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience with Scorpions with 'YALL'.
Thanks Mrs Dave's Camera Lady, and as always... Mr Dave and his little beasties.👍😃👍
Thats awesome ❤️👍
Oh wow, stunners
I bought a female Emperor many years ago as my first 'exotic' pet, a few months later I woke up to a bunch of small little while slimy scorpions babies that were halfway eaten.
Excellent video! they are really cool creature's I'm just about to get a couple in a few days Aussie ones of course. Best regards to you both
Oh look, lunch for a six eyes sand spider!
I dont think so ??
hey everyone have a great week
❤️❤️❤️
Aw brilliant again 👏 class vídeo Dave ma pal
Well in 📷 lady🤷🏼♀️ with the questions - you keep him right hen 😁👏
....
My heart was gon when the tail grabs were happening 😳😬
I learn so much from your videos, thank you!
I really enjoyed that!! I'll look forward to your progress with them atb guys.
Wot an amazing vidoe as always hope ya day goes well Dave & Camera lady
Best man on UA-cam with his wonderful beasties
Thank you ❤️👍
Thanks, Dave! Happy New Year 2024, despite what's happening all around us, let's be determined to make 2024 the best year so far! Dave, did that missing claw ever grow back?
No it hasn't
@@daveslittlebeasties Yes, you did mention that it will probably not but that she's okay and eating well, starting to attempt to catch her own live bait. But since it was a year ago I knew I could get an update in-case it did grow back, I was curious. She obviously lost it with some difficulties in an early shedding.
I think Dave is the most educated critter keeper on social media, nice one Dave :)
❤❤❤❤thankyou ❤❤
They are pretty. I always thought they were deadly. I hope your ear feels better soon.
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I used to be afraid of scorpions, but not anymore. Very informative video. Gorgeous coloring 🥰
Absolutely amazing Dave love your videos
Thank you 🙏
Dave just got to watch this video and enjoyed it very much so, i think Scorpions 🦂 are stunning, you could see the green on them, i hope you have a very successful breeding project, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it❤
Great dave😊👌❤️🇬🇧
Great video Dave and camera lady. I just got myself 2 baby forrest scorpions on Friday. I thought I give them a go
very cool acquisitions! best of luck on breeding
Very cool. I don't know how you are going to keep up with everything. Looking forward to the room tour. Peace.
17:21 is how I feel when the day has just been TOO much, hahaha! Beautiful beasties, will be so interesting to learn more about scorpions :)
Imagine Dave singing "I just can't stop loving You" for his scorpions... 😊
I thought I left that out of the video 😂❤️
@@daveslittlebeasties Actually You did, but it is obvious you would love to do exactly that 😉
Outstanding Dave and Camera Lady
❤❤❤
Great upload! ❤
Çok tatlılar ALLAHIM ne kadar asil ve büyüleyici canlılar. N İmac 🇹🇷🇩🇰
I had a few emperor scorpions when I was younger. It was always intriguing to me how they turn neon green under a black light.
same here.
those are absolutely gorgeous specimens
Such stunning animals. It's amazing how closely they're related to Heterometrus and the evolution of the two after the continents of the world split.
Beautifully explained, and very informative. Thank you 🙏
Dave: *Being a wild caught speciman..*
CITES: Say that again ?
Cool :)
