This is the two tanks together. The other tank is for my T, and the smaller is for a baby U. yaschenkoi (currently buried)

Thanks for looking!!

Next up: Inland Freshwater Crabs!

Very well setup phil,that pede is a monster

 

[WombleHerp]

[Radar]

Not bad, nice looking setups.
Hope they all last, keep us updated (would be great to see the crab setup when you get them)

which one houses the yaschenkoi?

In Critters016, the last photo (I think)... It's in the bottom right corner. Little tank. The scorp in there is about 2cm long, and is currently sealed up (but still alive, because I can see him through the bottom of the tank.

As for the pede being a monster - he is ANGRY haha all the time. Or at least, he looks it..

well done they look like they have moved into some nice homes

what substrate? i'd change over to a fine sand, has the best results, red sand looks best imo

 

[PhilK]

I will change him soon Hornet, after reading about the flasebottoms etc, but I don't want to dig him out because he's only little and it might stress him.

My sand always seems to set rock hard..

 

[Inkslinger]

Set ups look great you have to be happy with them

 

[WombleHerp]

your pede enclosure compared to myne makes myne look like dirt in a box :shock: me thinks my box is in for a change...

thats not a good sign, if you go with a sealed setup mark newton suggests screw top containers, when it doesnt seal the sand drieds and hardens, scorp dies of dessication

cant find any decent false bottomed setup pics atm

 

[PhilK]

Yeah hornet no worries, I'll change it when little Elephant comes out of hiding (should be soon). But what do you reckon of the new arrivals? Is the setup I have for the elongatus OK for it?

 

[bylo]

Is the setup I have for the elongatus OK for it?

it will be fine , remember they don't like it to damp

Thanks mate. My T has a water dish but I've only ever seen him drink from it once..
Visit www.thegreenscorpion.com.au all bylos T's are there with prices. Can't wait 'til I have enough cash to buy one.
