I decided to put my P leiosoma pair together tonight. Since they are a small scorpion, I just put them in a large deli cup. I mixed white and some black sand together and added a hide and bottle cap for water. The flat rocks in the sand are actual indian arrowheads that I have found. Here the...

You guys, I've been keeping them for 20+ years and have never been bitten (knock on wood). I keep other animals much more dangerous than these widows. For instance....I have a Rattlesnake and several of the world's most toxic scorpions. Out of all my kritters I worry less about the widows. I...

I collected these last weekend This a tiny juvenile. Note how much more brightly colored they are when young.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the pics. I have many more to post if you all are interested in them.

Believe it or not I was on a plane with a man that was flying down there from the UK. He was planning to stay for 8 months. I didn't get to see very many inverts on this trip but I plan to go back in a few months. My next trip I will go to the rainforest since that is where the critters are...

Leah, do you remember me now? :D Any for the rest of you that don't know, I live in Southern Missouri close to Springfield. I mostly keep scorpions and tarantulas but I have also kept alot of mantids in the past (none of the exotic species). I don't have any mantids at the moment but I do...

Hey Loosey, how are you doiing? Good to see you again :D

hehe I figured that there were a few here that kept them :D

Anyone else here keep tarantulas or scorpions?

I have never kept the more exotic species like Leah so I can't say anything there but I have kept many Carolina/Chinese Mantids over the years and it seems like having good ventilation for these is very important. On these a rule of thumb I go by is if water droplets won't evaporate in a few...
