Drop a like and consider sharing , your support as allways is amazing
I see that Vaseline... I knew you loved inverts but I didn't know you loved them THAT much 😂
Yes love them to much tbh lol Vaseline lol it’s for the bio active ant colony setup I have , put it around the top of the glass to try and stop any getting out , that’s my excuse for it and I’m sticking to it
🤣🤣🤣
Dedly don’t you start or I’ll save a pot of it for use on you lmao
@@ScottsInverts XD
Great video scott, also love the naturalistic enclosures 👍
Thank you Rus , naturalistic all the way
Thank you so much for an amazing informative video!
Cheers Matt
Watched this while setting up the home for cuddles thank you
Thank you Gemma
Great set up!👍
Thank you 🙏
Great video bud. Let's hope all pays off
Thank you Dale , I hope so
enjoyed that mate 👍
Thank you joining the prem, glad you did and we defo need a Little beasties scorp video
Great looking enclosure fingers crossed for scorplings
Thank you phill, I’m really hoping she is gravid
Love these scorpions
There beautiful
Hi I actually just got 2 babies and look forward to see them growing up. Thanks for a great video
Very welcome Bernadette
Hello everyone can't wait to see the video everyone Scott
Hey moon , thankyou
Scorpions rock!
I’m falling for them in a big way
The easiest scorpion care and housing imho. Basics are cocopeat, moss and bark that's it. Also make sure to mist 2 times in a week. It's more handy when you live in tropical climate
If you live in tropical climate your half way there , very easy to setup and keep
Thanks for this. Question for you, how do you prevent the mum eating the baby scorpions besides making sure she is well fed and low stress?
Great video. I have a female and I have only seen her out and about once or twice in 4 months. She loves her hide 🥰
Thank you, have tried taking a look in the middle of the night ?
I have no idea if mine is a female or male but Hanzo (his/her name) usually doesn't come out until 10p.m or 11p.m I did a all nighter with em one weekend And noticed it went back to it's burrow around 6 a.m
A lot of them come out at night to hunt, I’ve caught a couple out n about at night time , tbf
What a videos bro
Cheers
My boy stung me and I didn’t even noticed I’d been stung. A bit of a tiny blister and that’s it.
My boys name is Skyler
Awwww Skylar not a happy boy at that point
@@ScottsInverts He was just in a bit of shock because that was the first time I’d picked him up .. I think he thought I was going to eat him .. so he got a bit defensive.
Once o had him in my hand he was happy and didn’t want to leave ..
Great video Scott! Gotta get me some scorpions!
Thank Johan, there special creatures
@@ScottsInverts Yes, indeed, trying to get me some emperors but they are very hard to get hold of here in sweden, but there is plenty of asian forests, and I am getting to fancy them more than emperors, they are all black, the seem to have a bit of attitude, cheap and easy to get and not to hard to care for, perfect.:)
You can get them in the UK cheapest 200 for a pair tho
@@ScottsInverts wow, thats a lot!
Hence I have not got a pair
I have a setup ready... I live in Thailand and I'm looking around every night 😂 just a matter of time before I find one
Best to look for one that’s captive bred tbh, they are disappearing in the wild, that’s why you can’t find they used to be thousands
@@ScottsInverts They are still very common in the hotter months but now during the cooler months they rarely ever show themselves.
My plan is to eventually breed them with the intention of releasing the young back into the wild.
@@rogthegoodboy3520 that’s good to hear , in the U.K. we may be receiving in correct information ? Man I wish I could do some thing like that here
@@ScottsInverts It is sadly true that they are getting more and more rare which is also the case for many other animals here like rhino beetles.
I absolutely love animals like this which is why I'd like to at least try to breed them eventually.
I don't have experience with breeding but I don't think it would be that difficult to achieve.
Scorps quite easy water dish 4inch substrate hides and flat rock for the male to drop a sperm packet on he pulls the female over it she picks it up 9-12 months later babies
Nice scorpion
Thank you Joff you gonna get a scorp ?
@@ScottsInverts maybe at end of the month when I get paid
@@numajoff try venomous visions they do good deals on scorps
@@ScottsInverts yes mate that's where I'm planning from end of month if they have some left then
Hey Scott! I got a adult striped tail scorpion about 5-6 days ago and he hasn’t eaten at all yet… He’s been active and digging in his sand and been occasionally scurrying around during the day and night. He seems to be doing fine but he just gets scared of what ever I feed him (roaches, meal worms) I think I’ve tried almost every tactic of feeding them dead or alive feeders but I’m generally getting concerned. If you have any tips about him please get back to me and keep up the great work!
Over fill the water dish on a evening so it gets a humidity spike over night, also try squashing the head of a meal so it wiggles but can’t burrow down , or try feeding in the dark or leave some smaller red runners in over night see if it takes them at night time
@@ScottsInverts ok Thanks!
@@ScottsInverts Update: I got a thermometer, and have been wetting one side of the cage and Overfilling the water dish every time I put food in, and I have been putting him on top of a vent in my house since it’s pretty cold, and it gets nice and humid in there, like 80-83 degrees…. He ate once after I left a cricket in there for about 2 days. I think your tip helped, but thanks!
@@Hornsup18 no worries , glad it ate
Looks like a Feeding platform, right? TY for this video, I'm gonna get me a Asian forest scorpion a lil after Xmas, so I probably copy your set up, as I am good with plants also. Question, if kept fed well can you House a male and a Female together?
You can house them together , but you will allways have that risk of one killing the other one but jn most cases it works out well, the stone is for reproduction, the males drops a.sperm packet on the it then with his claws pulls the female over it she will then pick it up
Great video mate. I've struggled with my 2 for a while with temps and humidity levels, but now I've seen your video. I think I need a good decent rehouse for them.....
How do you heat yours. Heat pads??
I heat the whole room from a oil filled radiator
But if you put a heat mat on the side of the glass with thermostat then that would work too
@@ScottsInverts Brill.. thanks mate
Any time
My friend has 1 & 1 & 1/2 inch Asian forest scorpions baby’s he bred. He will just give me one if I want it !! Trying to find out as much as I can before I say yes.
There is not a lot said about that size.
What say you 😊
Same setup as adults, hide compost to borrow in and water dish, keep substrate damp and eater dish topped up
Hey Scott, I have been researching so much about this specific species and would like to get one. I already have everything to take care of it and everything. I'm just wondering where can I actually get one? Thank you.

I have a Hetrometrus spinifer…. or is a longimanus… the pet shop I bought him from .. just said it was Hetrometrus sp
If it’s big n blueish prob say spinifer but there is loads of pics you could
Compare it to on google
@@ScottsInverts He’s not blueish.
I think personally that he’s a longimanus.
@@ladysuda3807 could well be then
So i recently bought an Asian forest scorpion a bit ago and fed it 2 grasshoppers and it hasn't eaten in a bit any tips on what i should do
Don't worry 2much as long as it's fed in the last 3 months
what is the bush called in the enclosure? I could not make out what you said.
Found it in a garden centre no idea tbh sorry Rudy
Hello 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?
Swammerdami is the largest in the worlds 20-25cm
Hey! Nice video! I have one asian forest scorpion, they said its a H. Petersii, but people say there are no H. Petersii, i am confused about this names, it seems Heterometrus sp refers to a couple of different scorpions? Could you please clarify this?😅 Also, i maybe missed this i dont know but i watched twice, what substrate do you use? Looks like soil but i dont know, i was thinking about mixing top soil/potting soil with coco fiber, would that work? Thank you for the video and for answers!
Soil and coco would work , petersii changed to silenus any h.petersii is now called h.Silenus
@@ScottsInverts ok thank you so much!
More then welcome. Scotts inverts army. Facebook group might be able to help more on there
@@ScottsInverts thank you, i dont use facebook but i have subscribed to your chanel!
What are the species of all the plants in there, if you know? Please and thank you.
Pothos Devils ivy in there cantvren the names of the other 2
Great vid:) Unrelated but ... (an soz for the length of this but need kid/t advice) i just had a tarantula related WTF moment. I never thought I'd be trying to talk someone out of getting a tarantula but I just did. If you think I'm wrong please feel free to say.
I get on well with my neighbour so we've let her son come in an hold one of my sakes an help feed stuff a few times.
He absolutely loves my tarantulas. Hes been begging for his own for over a year an his dad just fucked off so his mum said shes finally letting him get one, she said it's too stay in his room an shes not helping or having anything to do with it. His favourite colours orange so ya can probably guess what hes getting, a fucken OBT.
I totally get shes just trying to make him happy n stop him acting up so much but I think it's a really bad idea, even if he says he wont ano he'll try an handle it at cause hes always begging to hold mine an got quite bratty a few times when I've said no, even when I've explained all the reasons why I say no. I tried to explain to her why I think an obt is a bad idea but she said i was just worrying too much. She admits she knows nothing about t's but I dont think she believed me when said it wont be like a bee sting if he gets bit an that I could recommend some new worlds that would be a better choice but she said its the one he really wants so sticking with it. Shes letting him get an adult aswell:/
I obviously dont wanna put her off tarantulas all together but kinda wanna show her some vids to put her off old worlds for him but she said no an think she got a lil annoyed when I said again that it's a bad idea so no sure what to do. Ano I'm just second guessing my self cause we get on well enough an always say hi when we pass each other but were just friendly neighbours not actually friends so I ovb dont wanna over step causes hes no my kid n ano it's not really any of my business but I'm just worried for him cause I love tarantulas an even wanna get an OBT at somepoint but I dont see this going well for him, hes only 9 maybe 10 now and hyper af mosta the time. Hes never even rehoused a t before.
You and tara are parents, do yous think itd be crossing the line if I make a wee play list on this about old worlds and obts an ask her to watch them cause I'm a bit worried?
I don't wanna come across like I'm telling her what to do with her own kid but I just really dont think it's a good idea, hes gonna get bit an the t's probably gonna end up getting squished.
If ya think I'm overreacting tho ya can say an I'll listen.
Thanks
I don’t think your over reacting , I think if she’s willing listen then education needs to begin, hopfully she will take a better look at them before actually getting one ☝️ . Apart from that and expressing concerns at local pet shop there is not much else you can do
Thankyou I think I just needed to hear that before butting in again.
It's already on the way so coming the morra. Gonna pick some vids the now. I normally don't get ppl to look at bite pics but want her to see some bad ones just so she knows what can happen. Wish me luck cause shes no gonna be happy with me turning up and bringing it up again ....oh joy :/
Mine is pregnant only getting larger! Bought two weeks ago I have no idea how to csre for babies only wanted one!!
They will stay on mum back until harden off then they are self efficient, small tub for each one moist substrate and tiny feeders
@@ScottsInverts I have a dubi roach colony will these work as feeders?
If the new born are small enough for the scorpions I used flightless flies
🖤🦂🕷🕸🕷🦂🖤
Got to love the scorps
@@ScottsInverts tons of personality in such a little package when it comes to scorpions.
@@brianscreaturesofthenight2621 there more active then they are given credit for too
Awesome video scott I absolutely love scorpions my jewel is my emperor I do love the set up is the upside down dish for laying its sperm on
Yes it is Mark amazing how they pair up like this
@@ScottsInverts sorry I was late scott had my son on the phone
@@Markthespiderguy386 no worries bro. Thank you for watching it appreciate it
@@ScottsInverts no thanks needed scott
Is it the same for a yellow devil scorpion
No defo not , that is the striped trail from the edge of the dessert?
Would you be interested in buying a sling's 30 the lot
Not at the min proper skint
Ok no worries
I want some I have 300 gallon tank how many
One pair of you want to breed
Not sure about the flat surface I think it has something to do with the Males breeding needs but not 100% sure
Defo breeding, sperm packet gets dropped of female gets pulled over it picks it up bobs your uncle
@@ScottsInverts Thought so lol just wasent sure
Haha
can thay clim glass
No
Amazing tks
Scorpions skittish ha 😄
it's a spinifer right?
I was under the impression they where more docile then other scorpions such as "asian" laoticus or the dessert dwellers no?
Oh spinifer is also from Asia
Silenus (old petersii ) in the video, I have a Spinifer if you want to see a pic of what they look like ?
I will take a guess and say that the inverted water dish is for an isopod colony.
They do use the under neath but it’s a flat area for the male to deposit a sperm sac he pulls the female over it she collects it boom babies
@@ScottsInverts very clever. I noticed that even with scorpions that are not known to be communal, if your enclosure is large enough to provide multiple hides with adequate space, a breeding program can work. After the male and female do their scorpion dance of love, there is enough room for the male to retreat out of danger after he shoots his load.
When she starts to get bigger with being gravid is when you pull out the male can go back in once babies are removed could be together for upto a year at a time
@@ScottsInverts enjoyed the video. Very helpful. I’m a new scorpion father. I believe it’s a female. Not planning on having any male to mate but Just curious as to why the male needs a flat surface? Thank you!
Welcome, and thank you . He lays a sperm packet on it and pulls the female over it she then picks it up
The upturned water dish... Is that for the male to attach his spermatophore to during mating?
Yes 👍
Gravid?
Potentially with eggs 🥚.
