I’m inching towards a tarantula stock take but not quite there yet!
So, this month’s offer, to cut down on my stock before the festive break, is the ever popular “Make Me An Offer On Tarantulas”

I may not always be able to fully match your offer but it is worth asking! (really depends how much I have paid for them and how much time I have put in). Just drop me an email, tell me which tarantula/tarantulas you would like and how much you would like to pay. Remember once the reduction appears on the website you will need to order quickly or someone else may bag the bargain! (the price may only be reduced for a day or two so please don't ask unless you are ready to buy) If you would like a photo of the actual spider (any size)
Just email - [email protected]

Common Name: Laos Giant Forest Scorpion
Scientific Name: Heterometrus loaticus

Size: Small (scorpling)
Status: Captive born (October 2024)

A giant black forest scorpion, active and easy to keep.

How I keep mine

I keep my forest scorpions separately in plastic boxes with peat or coir on the base and pieces of bark or half a flower pot to hide under. I place my boxes on a shelf with a heat mat on it, I use a strip heat mat (15cm wide) and this covers part of the base of the box (several boxes can fit on one long mat). Like most bugs it is a good idea to give them a dry and a damp area to choose from. I find the area above the heat mat is dry and the area not covered by the heat mat is more moist. I use plastic boxes for my scorpions as I have lots of species and don't have the space to keep them all in individual tanks but of course they do equally well when housed in a plastic or glass tank and are much more visible. I feed my scorpions on crickets or cockroaches once a week.
