Introduction Of Malaysian Scorpions
Malaysia's scorpion are Different From scorpions from Other Coutries i can say , asThe Malaysian Forest Scorpions or Asian Forest Scorpion is hardy, quiet, and easy to care Of haha they are calm and Beautiful invertebrates And They Live Under Wet humidities . And also yet , Defensive and Poisonous as Usual haha , any scorpions have poison as Such Asian Forest Scorpions COnsist of none killing poison but with Painful Stings which will last over 30 min of SERIOUS PAIN ! haha , its juz half hour haha wont be suffering as i tried before = P , Muahaha , If You Are going to buy a Pet which you can always handle on , what i suggest tat Scorpions are not ur Choice haha get a SUgar Glinder or Phython haha~
Weekly Needs as Basics
Water Supply from a large open place as Asian Forest Scorpion drink from a wide dish haha and if its for scorplings u can always add on Rocks in order not them to drown themselves haha = ) cares
Foods , Mealworms or Crickets its the easiest as u can buy it from Fish shops , but make sure u get a cage for crickets as they are trouble some .. they may even eat thier owh kind if there's any food , or u can provide them with vegetables and Oatmeal by Water Bottles CAP haha = )Rm 1 can get over 20 - 30 crickets ... nasty Bugs haha
Enviroment or cages should be large for them haha over 2x2 size 12 inches of Pretty Aquarium wont cost much from fish shops ( rm 30 ) but the LIghting would Cost alot( rm 60 ) haha , Scorpions under Ultra violet Black Light are Seriously Nicer haha , = )
Description !
The Malaysian Forest Scorpion is a large, black very similar in appearance of the Emperor Scorpion. It has a shiny, black granulated exoskeleton. The average size of a mature adult is about 5-6" (16 cm). Enought Food Provided would effect the maturity reach ahah , so i do not want to talk bout the time require to reach mature/adult , for forest scorpions it took around 4 years , but for home breed ones will took less than 2 years haha = )
Molting - SKin Change
In-Order For scorpion to grow , they must been through molting process inorder for them to grow, as such its fragile for them after molting as it will take over 2 weeks for thier exoskeleton to harden up and evenutally it will become darker and stronger and bigger = ) , cute , haha , for Asian Forest Scorpions to molt sucessfully , it is important tat to maintain the humidity inside the tank for them to molt as water vapour inside allows them to get off thier skin easier as it moisturize their Skin haha
Pre-Cautions
Though many scorpions can go for long periods of time without eating, overfeeding can cause an overly swollen stomach as well as the loss of appetite, and even death. The stomach can be slightly swollen from regular eating, and this is not a problem. Another problem can be an infestation of Mites. Uneaten food can attract mites, which are very dangerous and stressful to scorpions. Be sure to remove old food or it will attract Mites over the tank and even be dangerous for adult scorpions as they COme in herds! Cares !
Thats all for Now haha , for more information , ask me , i will share as much knowledge i gain with scorpions lover , MEOW! > . <
R A I N B O W , weee!!! nothing to do - -
Meh, every scorp does nt have poison
ReplyDeleteThey have venom instead
Venom and poison are different, dig some info from wikipedia
Also the sting effect varies from different ppl
Though they cant kill bt their venom shall not be underestimated
U only suffered 30min pain doesnt mean every1 suffer the same
If other ppl with allergic they will need2 go to clinic for an injection
Oh ya, they live in humid environment, nt wet
Too wet can cause mycosis (A type of fungus tat eat up ur scorp) although it rarely happen on afs
