1.1 Pandinus imperator
I have not tried to house these in many years. Recently I began to do animal shows at social gatherings commercially. I thought a pair of these would be a good addition to the show. I purchased 1.1 in hopes of them also breeding. I had trouble keeping these alive in years past, and I think it might have been due to over feeding. I have them in my slide rack in a room that runs between 80 and 85 degrees. I have them on a base of vermiculite with moss stacked in the back. They enjoy hiding under the moss and coming out only to eat and drink. I keep a shallow dish in the tub with Flucker Farm calcium quencher in it at all times. I have watched them eat it, so they must like it. About every 3 days or so, I spray them in the face with water, and I can watch them drink it. I am tong feeding them crickets, mill worms, and wax worms so that I can strictly monitor the food intake. My question is to keepers who have maintained these guys for more then a year.
How much should they be eating on a weekly basis?
