I love vinegaroons. I have a female named miss Vinny. She's spoiled. She has a 10 gallon tank with lots of hiding spots. She sleeps all day and comes out around 9 pm like clockwork. She doesn't burrow, but she makes little nests to bask in. Her main house is a little coconut shell she hides under. Some nights she gets feisty and tries to climb up the tank with no effort. I'll take her out carefully and let her safely run around and explore. She's a sweet little vinegaroon. 5 years old.
I use water bites (which is basically a water gelatin) for my vinegaroon, which I pour into a good-sized low-sided food container near a heat/light source. I've noticed that since I put it in her enclosure, she spends at least 90% of her time sitting on top of the water bites. Just curious as to if there's a reason for that. Mine doesn't dig. Though I have areas she could use as a burrow, she spent most of her time sunning on the rock next to her heat source (until I put the water bites in there), and I've noticed that since she gets food regularly (I feed her about six crickets a month, at two-week intervals), she's not as much of an opportunistic eater. Sometimes the crickets will stay in her cage for weeks at a time before she eats them. But I AM interested as to why she likes to spend the majority of her time in her water bowl...
They are nocturnal in nature and live in burrows for most of the year, venturing out when it's bug season and then they gorge themselves. Yours is living in the Ritz Carlton of tanks and so it's just out there eating and basking and chillin in the water bites like it's poolside.
Really enjoyed this video, Peter! It's one of your best. Calming energy, knowledge and entertainment. I was inspired to write a poem. Vinegroon, Vinegroon, Not made from vinegar or raccoon. Why am I suddenly craving a macaroon? Must be time for my dessert so very soon. Vinegroon, Vinegroon, I see you glistening under the moon. 😎
There does seem to be some variation in their interest in doing that. Perhaps the day/night cycle in the home with artificial lighting is factoring in, or temperature. I really have no idea why one on a shelf can go down and then another in a nearby tank doesn't. I think a lot of people keep them on shallow substrates where they don't have the option and so there isn't as much data on it as their could be. But maybe the answer is out there somewhere. I had heard you mention it in one of your great videos, recently. It's not as easy to consume content from others and learn like we used to. Producing content is very time consuming, eh? Probably 99% of everything I've learned the past decade was passed back on to me from customers. And of course I don't mind that at all! ;) Thanks Rus! And by the way, I'm totally excited to see what happens with your orange titan!
Bugs In Cyberspace Good points Peter, I should probably deepen the substrate and maybe put them in a dark place to see if I can induce hibernation. I love the fact that we can all learn from each other in this hobby. 😊 Oh, and guess what? I found another orange Titan! I hope they’re not just Spanish oranges that somehow got I to the enclosure, though that seems unlikely. Time will tell...
I just got my first vinegaroon today after wanting one for years!! I think it might be a girl too as her behind is pretty big and she's got some sass. They told me she's almost fully grown!
Nice! I'm waiting for the right time to get one. I already have a tank ready for one as well as the food due to me having frogs, so now all I need to do is get one! Planning on getting one once it's a bit warmer here since we have really cold weather at the moment (it's 13 degrees right mow where I am), but I'm super excited!
Mine also had a huge abdomen when I first got him, but I'm pretty sure he's a dude unfortunately, judging by his underside. Seems like the sellers weren't as good at sexing them as they came off as. When they're not sexually mature, I don't think you should rely on abdomen size to determine if it's male or female. Had to learn that the hard way...😩
Very cool! I got a juvenile vinegaroon from your website and it is doing really good! I also just got some roaches from your site and a scolopendra viridis.
I used to be utterly terrified of these animals when I was younger. I'd say it was my least favorite animal for quite some time, but that changed two years ago when my zoology professor brought one into the lab. A few of us got to hold it, and I figured I'd be adventurous and try anyways. What surprised me was how "normal" its legs felt. I was expecting cold, sharp pincers, but it wasn't at all like that. I wouldn't call it soft, but no worse than a lizard's. It was also a very mellow creature, really no different from any other vertebrate of the same size. That interaction really changed how I felt about them, and if I ever do decide to get a pet arachnid, this is at the top of my list.
That's a really cool story, Aeddon. Anybody in a zoology classroom should have the opportunity to find beauty in everything in nature and so I'm really glad that opportunity was offered and accepted!
I got my vin from you in april and she has become my absolute favorite! I adore her. theres just something so endearing about these critters. I love the careful way they move around with their antenniform legs.
I'm always glad to see comments like these because they really are the best ambassador arachnid for so many (other) people that grow up hating spiders and such.
Attention people who have vinegaroons that are not grabbing live insects in a timely fashion. Last night I dispatched a large female dubia with the long black feeding tongues that I got a while back from Amazon. I crushed the head then I crushed the body until that white pus oozed out. The vinegaroon went right for it on top of a piece of clay slab and is still at that location right now and I don't see any remains of the crushed dubia. Very interesting experiment.
I've been wanting a vinegaroon for quite some time (thanks to you and some other youtubers showing how awesome they are!) I'm considering ordering one of the captive bred babies from your site and I'm wondering what care is like for them at such small size? how often to feed/what they eat, what their tank setup needs to be (should it be small for the young ones and upgrade when they grow like tarantulas?), and what is their growth rate like? I saw you showed some younger specimens when you compared the male and female in this video but you didn't say their ages.
I really enjoy the animals and the diversity of all the "bugs" I keep. I am constantly learning new things about species I've had for a while and it's really hard to keep up with the new information coming in. I haven't changed the listing on my website yet to reflect the splitting of the US species into three yet, I don't think, for example. But it's all interesting, and it's all fun and made exponentially better through sharing info with others like you. Thank you, Snuggletummy!
Basically many vinegaroons body length cannot reach 5cm above, but this species Mastigoproctus giganteus can grow to 8-10cm. Mine is Malaysian species. She is 6cm. Not as big as Mastigoproctus giganteus, but it is considered large size vinegaroon in Asia. Love your videos!
subscribed you give so much great info on this unique this arachnid . I have wanted to start my own little family of whip scorpions but wanted to get them from a trusted source . Do you have any suggestions?
I get them back in this time of year, each year (website of the same name). Thanks Dusty and please let me know if you have any other questions about them, etc.
I could see that. They certainly don't move as quickly as tailless whipscorpions (whipspiders for others reading this). And they also don't "look" like they can move quickly, which probably accounts for a lot. ;)
Agreed, they also look sort of cute imo because if their beefy pedipalps that seem to hide their faces. When they dig though it’s the cutest thing, they scramble towards the surface with their arms filled with dirt and politely brush it off, stop momentarily, and crawl back into their burrow with their little rear in the air and the cycle repeats.
@@clamskaboo5120 Yeah, there is definitely a relatable feeling in their methodology for digging and cleaning themselves. They definitely stay very busy until they get their cage just right! At around the 3 minute mark in this video, I show a female going into a cage. She has since dug a really nice burrow with multiple tunnels in. I'll upload an update video at some point. I really need to buckle down and throw some more UA-cam content together. Thank you for your comments and interest in these animals!
Can these go on sand? I want to pair mine with some darling beetles but I'm not sure if the beetles would like the coco fiber substrate that I have for my vinegaroon. If not do you know of any good alternative mates for them?
revived one as a rescue that fell and has a wound in her abdomen area. It’s a slit. But there is some white stuff. Not a lot hanging out. Any advice. Will she make it? She seems to be walking fine and stuff like that. It’s just she has an external wound. The person who gave her to me dropped it and knows I care for scorpions and geckos.
I tried to feed my vinegaroon a cricket earlier. She waved her pedipalps around but couldn't seem to be able to grab on. I noticed that she can't seem to widen one of her pedipalps, it seems to be permanently stuck in a pinch. Do they absolutely need to have both pedipalps functioning in order to eat? If not, then could she be in pre-molt? Though if she's in pre-molt then why is she even attempting to eat...? I'm really worried about her... I finally got her as a pet after trying to get one for 2+ years... It would be so devastating to lose her, but things aren't looking too great...
I'm sorry but it is really hard to answer this question w/o personally observing the behavior and seeing the overall v. I invite you to email me a video of her.
@@bugsincyberspace 6 months later, I finally managed to get him to eat for the first time, but he's pretty hesitant about it. I had to keep ushering the cricket over to him, and he only caught it because it jumped right into his pedipalps, so he put in pretty much zero effort. To make it easier for him, I just feed him pre-killed now. He has a hard time getting a good grip on his prey since he only has one functioning pedipalp, so I think it's overall better to feed him pre-killed. Good thing these scavengers eat everything. Sucks that he seems to be a subadult male though... A female is what I wanted, so I'm going to keep looking and waiting for someone who can get one for me. But yeah, just wanted to update you. Thank you for offering help. These guys are so hardy, even after six months of no food he still doesn't look skinny. *Another update:* As of Nov 11, 2023, he had finally dug a proper burrow and sealed off the entrance. I'm hoping that by the end of his hibernation, both of his antenniform legs will be the right length, and that his pedipalp will be functioning again. Would be even better if he turns out to be a female after all the effort I put into him, but I know I won't be that lucky.
You say you "get in" vinegaroons- do you have a shop? I didn't see any links in your description to your roons, your supplies, etc. I have had a rose hair T for many years and have thought about bringing these into my home, too.
Thanks for asking, Dee. My online store/website of the same name as this channel has been up since 1997 and doesn't do as well in the search engines the past few years as it once did when I was the only one hanging around decade after decade. ;)
@@bugsincyberspace I was hoping it was the same shop! For a minute I thought maybe it was just a similar name. I have been skulking around your shop many times looking for orchid mantis. I am still looking! I saw that you had roons in stock when I looked a couple days ago. I just purchased a new set up for my T so I have to wait for payday next week *sigh*. I'm hoping you have one at that point. When you get an orchid mantis, do they normally come in as adults or early instars? I really liked one of the habitats!
@@deemueller6470 I only ever really sell mantises as young specimens because they have more life ahead of them that way. I actually do have orchid mantises in stock right now but nobody knows it yet. ;) Thanks Dee!
organic apple cider vinegaroon or balsimic vinegaroon? i did not know the redecorated. that sounds randomly entertaining. just walk in one day and the contents of the tank are relocated do you mean?
@@bugsincyberspace I tried testing the waters this morning... My Vinegaroon went after the beetle extremely fast. I had to wrestle the poor little blueberry away with a tongs.
It's always hard to answer. It depends on the size of the food you offer and the frequency of feedings. A plump abdomen is the general goal and if it does not show interest in food, even for a couple months, that isn't terribly unusual. Be sure to offer them a very shallow water dish during non-feeding periods.
If you put the food near the vinegaroon, that is best. If it shows no interest, might as well remove it immediately and try again the next day. A simple 30 second investment of time for those concerned about the "how longs" in life. ;)
There is definitely some variation in individual vinegaroons in terms of their tendency to spray, however there is a bit of a learning curve in handling them too. As with large millipedes, its best if you let them walk onto your hand rather than forcefully grabbing them and putting them on your hand. Sometimes you just need to get to know each other a little bit. Enjoy your unique pet!
Thanks! Also, how big do they have to be to be able to breed? Mine is about 2 inches long. I got here at a local fish store that coincidentally had 3 for sale. I heard that these are generally wild caught in pet stores as well. She looks exactly like the vinnies in the video but plumper.
@@clamskaboo5120 2 inches can mean a lot of different things depending on where the measurement starts and ends, really. And so I can't say whether yours is mature or not on that basis. It really is just a function of them being mature specimens. If yours looks the size of the ones on my hand, then it is probably mature too. Of course, it helps to have a range of sizes on hand to know what's what. ;)
Haha, of all the badass bugs in the world, Vinegaroon is among the top of my list. You think Centipedes are efficient fighters? They're amateurs comparing to Vinegaroons. Watch this clip to the end and you'll know what I mean. ua-cam.com/video/qZasE8oyFfA/v-deo.html
i have no idea . im way stressed and trying to void it with humor i guess. my entomology humor does not usually land well with average people. however my brain is a bit jumbled. perhaps it is flukes( the parasite kind) are they apple cider vinegaroons
Bugs In Cyberspace the worst part is i actually talk that craziness to insects and arachnids in real life. both wild and domestic. i talk to all animals like people. i wish my cat was a bit more vocal

Great information. You're knowledge is invaluable. On another note, I'm noticing UA-cam unsubscribed me from your channel! About to correct that.
Wow! Always teaching us something new! Thank you, Peter! It’s great to hear your voice too.
Thank you, I like quiet very educational videos with no needless hype or music which I find very annoying.
I sometimes put music in the clips but you are one of the few that will remember my old youtube channel where I always posted the old timey music.

How do you breed them?
What do u suggest in substrate
How’d it lose them
Sorry, what?
My God makes wonder,
I thought about purchasing one but I still rather have a 🦂
I got my vinegaroon in January, I’m pretty sure mines just fat. 🤣
Over Handling!
Showcasing the behavior in temperament of the animal for a UA-cam video.
Bro I just got one for Xmas! He sprayed me twice though...
There is definitely some variation in individual vinegaroons in terms of their tendency to spray, however there is a bit of a learning curve in handling them too. As with large millipedes, its best if you let them walk onto your hand rather than forcefully grabbing them and putting them on your hand. Sometimes you just need to get to know each other a little bit. Enjoy your unique pet!
Thanks! Also, how big do they have to be to be able to breed? Mine is about 2 inches long. I got here at a local fish store that coincidentally had 3 for sale. I heard that these are generally wild caught in pet stores as well. She looks exactly like the vinnies in the video but plumper.
@@clamskaboo5120 2 inches can mean a lot of different things depending on where the measurement starts and ends, really. And so I can't say whether yours is mature or not on that basis. It really is just a function of them being mature specimens. If yours looks the size of the ones on my hand, then it is probably mature too. Of course, it helps to have a range of sizes on hand to know what's what. ;)
Bugs In Cyberspace silly me, two inches from mouthpart/chelicerae to the tip of the abdomen(not the whip/appendage)
I found this on my bathroom almost kill it i though it was a crickett
You and the vinegaroon both had lucky days!
I just got a warrior beetle how do I take care of it please let me know
@@miguelmarrero3176from where?
Haha, of all the badass bugs in the world, Vinegaroon is among the top of my list.
You think Centipedes are efficient fighters? They're amateurs comparing to Vinegaroons.
Watch this clip to the end and you'll know what I mean.

awe yeah, she is so hot when gravid baby yeah. never had one , definetly think they are dope. dont smoke it. i didnt mean that kind of dope
LOL, what just happened there?
i have no idea . im way stressed and trying to void it with humor i guess. my entomology humor does not usually land well with average people. however my brain is a bit jumbled. perhaps it is flukes( the parasite kind) are they apple cider vinegaroons
Bugs In Cyberspace the worst part is i actually talk that craziness to insects and arachnids in real life. both wild and domestic. i talk to all animals like people. i wish my cat was a bit more vocal
i used to call my bmw my whip. does that count? if so then i can relate to being currently whipless
