Baby tailless whipscorpions

[Charmyknux]

These guys are getting so big!
I've had them for four months now and they've at least doubled in size

 

[Quandry]

They are so cute I could squeal! I love ambys!

 

[Charmyknux]

I did squeal when I found them. Here's how tiny they were when they molted for the first time

 

[Quandry]

I can't even begin to tell you how freaking adorable that is!

 

[Charmyknux]

Oh trust me I know

 

[Josh]

Awesome! Nice photos. Love it!

 

[philflake]

They are very cool!

 

[Charmyknux]

They're getting big now

 

[Denny Dee]

Are you going to keep them communal now that they are getting bigger?

 

[Charmyknux]

Yes. Im moving them to a bigger enclosure so that they have more room to spread out

 

[Denny Dee]

Never seen a whip scorpion commune. Very cool indeed.

 

[Charmyknux]

The breeders that I bought them from have done it successfully

 

[Denny Dee]

Never had a LARGE enough display tank for a communal. I do have my two Emperors in a decent size tank and they have been happy for over a year. Someday....

 

[Grammostola in my heart]

i want some scorps so bad! have you ever kept desert hairy scorpions?

 

[Denny Dee]

Not yet. I really focused on hot species which I found to be fascinating. May try a desert hairy at some point though. Great starter scorp.

 

[Grammostola in my heart]

yeah. ken the bugguy has some for $20

 

[Denny Dee]

They are supposed to be very hardy and easy to keep. Even communal possibly.

I've heard desert hairy's are very cannibalistic. They just need a deep substrate made up of a mix of clay and sand(I can't remember the ratio) so they can tunnel properly. If you get one make sure you get an adult. Its my understanding that younger instars are very difficult/next to impossible to get to molt and survive.

i have a giant desert hairy. i have a mixture of of good ol fashioned dirt from outside. the rocks and pebbles help keep the earth together. as for the cannibalism, i had 2 in the same tank for a while. as long as they have plenty of food and room to hide/tunnel they are ok. they will challenge each other over territory so i don't suggest keeping them together for long. (personal opinion)
