Rehousing Diablo

Recently I made the decision to rehouse Diablo, my Asian forest scorpion.
As previously discussed, I acquired Diablo through a Spider Shop mystery box - I paid £30 and they sent me an assortment of critters, worth more than the £30 I paid. It was a great experience, but at the time I wasn't at all prepared to care for a scorpion, and it has been a steep learning curve since then.
Having since been on the website, I learned that Diablo was a wild caught specimen. This explains why he has been pacing his enclosure, tapping on the glass as if to find a weak spot and escape. I have moved him from one tank to another in a vain attempt to give him enough space to satisfy him, but he doesn't seem to be happy yet.
At one end of my front room, I had an old 125 litre Juwel aquarium. I used to keep tropical fish, but a busy work schedule and bad home life balance meant that I unfortunately didn't notice when the filter packed in, and it eventually killed everything in the aquarium. It has been standing empty since then, until I randomly decided that it would be the perfect home for an angry scorpion...
I used several 1kg blocks of coconut coir substrate, and for some reason, I added real cactii. I'm not sure what the point of the cactii is, as he's a forest scorpion, not a desert scorpion, but it looks great nonetheless. The skull and water bowl came from Pets at Home, while I ordered the anatomical skeletal hand from Amazon. I know the colours don't reall match between the skull and the hand, but it amuses me to have them together like this nevertheless.
As soon as I rehoused him, he went straight to the water bowl for a long drink, before digging a deep tunnel under the substrate. He hasn't actually been seen in several days, but he isn't pacing the tank any more, so I am taking that as a sign that he is happy?
A little too happy, maybe - I offer him food maybe once a week. He doesn't always take it straight away - I've literally never seen him eat - but the food always disappears eventually, and....well....Diablo is starting to look a little podgy. In fact, his scales are all separated and stretched out. If he doesn't start losing weight now that he has got all of this room to exercise in then I'm going to have to put him on a diet because I am clearly overfeeding him!

In Memoriam: Summer edition

Unfortunately, due to the delayed nature of the posting on this blog, the things that I write about in the Summer don't get published until Winter, or vice versa. That's the limitation of a prolific poster writing up a buffer, to be released at regular intervals. It doesn't usually pose a problem, but as I write this post in the middle of Autumn - firstly, it is not going to hit the blog until next year. Secondly, due to the nature of the content here, it may interrupt continuity - I am writing to remember the charming little critters that I lost over this summer. Some of the deaths were expected, there had been plenty of warning. Other deaths were...surprising. But while I mention them here, due to the pre written nature of the content to come, there may be posts further down the line where these names and faces crop up again, almost as though I hadn't lost them. I've been umming and ahhing over the best time to place this post, and to be honest - there's...

Purple Spood has a Name

This new spood finally has a name! It has taken me a while to get around to it, because I was really struggling. I am really hoping that this spider is a male, because the males of this species take on a really vibrant purple colour once they grow on, while the females are a dusty brown. So I wanted a male name, but also something linked to the colour purple, to highlight my hopes for him. All of the purple-themed names I could think of sounded really girly, like "Lavender", or "Heather". But then it occurred to me - Purple Rain. My partner really came up with it, not me. But he's named after a certain purple singer/songwriter - Prince. Yeah, it might be cliche, but I'm really happy with it. So Prince it is!

Blogger Absences!

Sorry guys! I don't know if anyone actually reads my spider blog, but I'm sure if you do you'll have noticed that it's on a temporary hiatus. There are posts queued up, waiting to be edited and finished. I have plenty to write about, including the recent loss of my elderly mantis Catchy, and the rehousing of my Poecilotheria metallica (which was tense). But right now it has to wait, as I am currently juggling my job, my fmaily, and now my new Masters degree in Environmental Management. I will come back and update on all the lovely (and not so lovely) things that my critters have been up to. But for now, I'm afraid it will have to wait. Be safe all, and don't squish that spider!
