Alles anzeigenSmeringurus mesaensis Stahnke (Vaejovidae)
Common name: Dune Scorpion
Range: Southwestern US and Mexico.
Ecomorphotype: Psammophile (adapted to rapid movement over shifting, non-consolidate dune systems) inhabiting areas of consolidated and non-consolidated sand dune systems. Throughout its range it is typically a dominant species in scorpion communities n dunic regions.
Lifestyle: Obligate burrower, with reports of young specimens found under rocks in fringe areas. In captivity, provide a 10-12.5 cm layer of consolidated (compacted, compressed) sand substrate.
To consolidate the sand - mix with water until the sand is thoroughly moistened then place into the enclosure (a good size enclosure is a standard 21L glass aquarium). After the sand is all placed into the enclosure, use something flat to compact the substrate and allow it to thoroughly dry. Insure that the substrate is completely dry before introducing the specimen as they tend to be sensitive to moderate and high rates of moisture in the air or substrate. Add a few flat rocks to provide temporary retreats and for aesthetics.
Adult length: ~70-90 mm.
Temperament: Moderately defensive. An envenomation is painful but not of medical significance. This species is highly-sensitive to vibratory signals and can detect surface disturbances at ranges up to 50+ cm, and can react rapidly to prey or a predator.
Humidity Range: <40%
Temperature Range: Day 27.7-32C; Night down to 23.8C.
Water: A light misting with room temperature distilled water every 20-30 days is sufficient.
Feeding: Feed 1-2 appropriately-sized prey items (e.g. crickets) every 7-10 days.
Rate of growth: Moderate.
Communal: NO! One of the favorite prey of S. mesaensis are other scorpions including conspecifics.
Mating season (wild): Late-May thru Early October. Prime mating months: August and September.
Mating: Stereotyped for scorpions. Females are highly cannibalistic and during the mating season, males comprise a moderate part of the diet of sexually mature females.
Naja also nur Unterhaltung, Radio (Zimmerlautstärke) und Fernsehen sollten nicht so wild sein.
Wenn Du Dir natürlich jeden Abend einen Actionfilm mit DTS mit 7 mal 250W reinziehst würde ich den Skorpion da nicht hinstellen.
