[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 126801, member: 27677"] Here are two of my Uradacus yaschenkoi babies , 2nd instar going by the chart in Mark Newtons book. I collected them myself from the Murray Mallee region in South Australia using pitfall traps. I set 7 traps, got 6 of these babies and one larger. I only had shallow tubs with me (individual kfc potato and gravy tubs) so I only trapped the smallest holes. They are in fine white sand as it closely matches what I found them in. Most sand in the region is coarse red sand, very compacted and I saw many yasch holes in those areas, but these were in very loose fine sand . I keep 4 together in a 14" tank and they get along fine, holding meetings and often sharing a burrow between 2 of them at a time. Advice from Mark Newton is that they can be kept together as they rarely leave their burrow doorsteps so don't interact . It couldn't be further from the truth regarding these guys, they roam around, get together and are always swapping burrows. Theyve been together over 8 months now without incident. Theirs is my most entertaining scorpion tank. [ATTACH=full]28317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]28317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]28318[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
