[QUOTE="Sonorantree, post: 133577, member: 13813"] Thanks for your input! If I got another, this would actually be the third attempt with Genics, as I have now had two died unexpectedly. I agree, they are a really neat species! We live in the Sonoran Desert. Two family members have been stung by scorpions inside the house. It is described as the most painful feeling ever (worse than childbirth according to my wife)! We find about a dozen scorpions inside the house every year, but because of the spraying (house foundation and around doorways - monthly with Suspend SC), they are always very sick acting and there have been no stings since we have been doing this. Because of our situation, the spraying won't stop. The Ts are in the living room, so it can't be quarantined. I am the only one who does anything with them or the cages, and I don't do any of the work with the spraying. If that is the problem, Genics must be SUPER sensitive. And, none of the other species are. IF that's the case, I'm not going to try again. I am actually more interested in the native [I]Aphonopelma [/I]species and am hoping to collect half a dozen more species in the coming year. No, they are not all sitting out in plain sight all the time, but some of mine are out almost all the time. They are typically great eaters - not fussy at all since they survive by eating what happens along. Being in desert habitats, they are (perhaps) easier to keep in our dry climate. That will probably be my focus going forward. [/QUOTE]
