- Welcome Back! I missed making these videos for you all and I hope you had an awesome summer! It is great to be back! This week I am breaking down exactly how I keep my Florida Bark Scorpion, know scientifically as the Centruroides gracilis. I cover feeding, molting, enclosures, husbandry, and keeping this scorpion species communally. I also tell you how you can get some of your own Centruroides species that come directly from my collection!

Hello I would love to purchase a baby scorpion
I live in an apartment, how loud do they bark?
🤣🤣🤣
Oooo yay! I'm in this video! haha Thanks again for the scorpions and all of the help! Great video as always, Richard!
It was awesome meeting you and your husband! Hope your baby scorpions are doing well!
@@tarantulacollective it was awesome meeting you too! And the scorpions are doing great- some are eating, some are molting, and all of them are active and grumpy haha
They GLOW that is FASCINATING!!!
I'm really glad to see you back! Can't wait for more tarantula related videos :)
Another epic video Richard but no surprise there. These guys are super cool and I wish they were easily to obtain here. I like the idea of a communal set up with these guys and even your small enclosure for the babies look awesome.
As always, very informative video! This will be some knowledge for me when I decide to get some scorps in addition to my list of pets in the future!
I loved the intro Richard was kool man.. always a great video mate keep em coming 👍👍👍👍
Can’t wait to see the vid on the bioactive enclosure!
Loved this one!
Really appreciate videos on scorpions. Thanks for your work on this!
Richard, your video has been really helpful as I take care of my own scorplings. I did manage to feed the separated babies segments of meal worm with no issue, if anyone's having trouble finding small enough prey items for their little guys. Anyways keep up the awesome work, I love watching your macro shots of these marvelous beasts!
Cool video man thanks for the upload
Man, it's the fastest ten minutes on youtube...whew! Always a fun ride, Richard!
I wish I could get one of your babies but my husband was straight up, "NOPE!" Then I asked what if I win one? And he just shrugged his shoulders 🤣🤣🤣
Ahh wait ur a Girl. Ok respect, i had problems with my moms
@@nielsvandervaart3616 My husband doesnt care for creepy biting/stinging animals. I worked on him for a year before he gave in for tarantulas. 😉
Awesome informative vid❤🔥
This is such a professional video!
I have a few P. metallica and M. balfouri, and I don't keep them communally. This makes me want to start a scorpion communal instead. Awesome video as always, Richard! Cheers to the new channel!
ok im tuning in for next tuesday episode 🔥🔥 another Lit video
Fig Ban here!! 👌
Cool thing you got going, I always wanted a scorpion. God bless
Love this. My hubby just said I can get scorpions! So now the hunt for care sheets and research is on!
I will be posting up a lot of care videos on scorpions over the next few months on my second channel:
czcams.com/channels/_qeXoZIdygzTvxbPIdnaLQ.html
As well as on my website!
Jealous! Tell your hubby to talk to mine! 🤣
Great video as always. Love that you've passed them on to Fear Not. Curious to know what she gave you in return. :)
I really enjoy your scorpion videos
Best music intro on CZcams!
Great video! These are very cool and very creepy scorpions.
Thank you for this! I couldn't find ANY information that I found helpful about a Centruroides Gracilis. And I got one because the lady whom got one to sell in her shop couldn't sell it. She had it for months! Again, ty for this video. I really appreciate it! You also confirmed my suspicion.. my Freddy Mercury is in fact, a Freddy Mercury (male).
Damn, that's such a professional setup. Amazing job.
Thanks!
Just caught a couple of these guys in WA state, didn't know they lived this far out haha, great pet never the less though!
@ the Tarantula Collective, thanks for all the info you sharing , Please is there a possibility that you can make a video on the Trinidad Chevron (Psalmopoeus cambridgei), Greetings all the way from South Africa
Great information. Thanks. I wondered why you didn't keep them under black lights cause they look so cool. Now I know. Also only thought there was Arizona bark scopions.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Omg I wanted more scorpion videos yay keep it up do a giant desert scorpion 🦂 video if you can love the videos
I have a video on how I set up the enclosure for my Desert Hairy Scorpion here:
czcams.com/video/Qf8FlMdMQ-I/video.html
And I will be posting a Care and Husbandry video on that species on my second channel that launching this month:
czcams.com/channels/_qeXoZIdygzTvxbPIdnaLQ.html
AWESOME!
Love the scorpion vids! When I ever decide to get out of praying mantis(I currently have 20 something along with the T’s so just don’t want to overload myself) I think I might jump into scorpions. Not crazy about the highly venomous ones as I have high drive dogs but more vids on less dangerous scorpions would be awesome! Tho any scorpion vid is fun too lol
Cool vid Rich!
Btw can you cover hottentotta hottentotta species?im new to the hobby and i got me 2 of em
I just found one in my bathroom, ill add it to my collection!
Wow, really nice setup!
If I could make a request, I would like to see a video on care of flat rock scorps
Finally! This makes me want a scorpion lol
hey new subscriber here! I'm big into scorpions and its become a new hobby of mine as the fishing season is coming to a close in cold Colorado! I usually spend my winters studying fishing videos as i'm on disability I don't have much to do in the snowy cold! I'd love to see you get into more scorpion videos, some how to's, breeding and sexting the pectines etc. I enjoy your longer videos that contain knowledge on care and on the species itself! I have a few Malaysian Forests i plan to make a communal with them, as I've heard they can be a communal species as well! Communal projects, DIY's You Name it SCORPION BASED I'M WATCHING THANKS MAN!!!!
Thanks my friend. I'm actually moving all my scorpion content over to my second channel . The Tarantula people were getting frustrated when I upload Scorpion content on Tarantula Tuesday on the Tarantula Collective...lol. check it out here: czcams.com/channels/_qeXoZIdygzTvxbPIdnaLQ.html
Big fan!
How perfect lol I just got one of these guys a few days ago :)
Great video, making me want a scorpion now lol
Centruroides gracilis was but favorite and one of the most prolific when I made only humid / arboricol scorpion. I kept 25 adult males and 25 females with beautiful terrariums like you. An extra inch that is well deserved !
Good vid
Thanks for the heads up on where the babies went. I’ve had that species in my want list for about a year and have just been lazy about tracking them down. I’ve wanted a communal setup of them, so I ordered 4 of your babies. Here’s to hoping I get at least one of each sex to adulthood. 😊🦂
Thats awesome! Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy them...i know I do!
This was so helpful! I recently caught some striped bark scorpions from my culinary class. I decided it would be interesting to keep them (since I love all insects and arachnids). They have been such a joy to watch and learn about. I've been wanting to set up a more permanent enclosure for them. This video was easy to understand and follow. Keep up the good work!
EDIT: I do have one question. What would you recommend as a tank size guideline? I've heard that a dozen can go in a 10 gallon tank, but that seems very small for that many. I currently have 3 (I believe 2 juveniles and 1 adult).
Thats what i want Richard vids on scorpions
Hey nice Videos❤i have a Centruroides bicolor and wanted to ask how many times are you changing the substrate?Greetings from Switzerland and keep going🎉🎉🎉
Fan!!!
Richard I was wondering if you would add a video of Vietnam giant centipede I have one and their awesome.
We're back!
🦂👍 I got a scorpion
Dairy cow isopods and dwarf purple isopods as a cleanup crew and food source.
Hey Richard,did you make a care and husbandry video about the C.sp.hati hati😁😁i am getting one but i can not find a video on youre channel
I will do my best!
@@tarantulacollective thank you very much😃and btw i love youre content bro
Can u post something on care of bi color black fattail scorpions. I have one and want make sure doing right. U are first one I trust on how care for all my scorpions I have alot of them. And looking also at getting bark scorpions
Hello guys I just wanna ask if it's ok to mix charcoal with cocofiber. Would it be crucial for my ts respiratory system?
Funny you made this vidoe.. my friend of mine found one .. gave it to me its about 1 Inc .
I'm getting ready to make a new enclosure for my Florida bark scorpions. I was wondering if a mixture of reptisoil and Eco Earth / Coco fiber would be a good mixture for them I also would like to add some live plants opinion appreciated. I also have three Southern devil scorpions unstriped and my two females just had babies last week oh boy talk about the babies
I was really into scorps about 15 years ago, with over 100 species in my collection, and I used to breed these guys. Yes LOTS of babies. At one point I had about 300 2nd-3rd instars at once. A lot of work to care for them all, but a really great and easy scorp to keep and breed. They are beautifully colored at that stage, and really aggressive feeders. I've seen them take down prey much larger than themselves with ease, though that isn't ideal or recommended.
You're right, you do have to be careful with the juveniles. Even if well-fed, this species will cannibalize tank mates going through or shortly after a molt while the exoskeleton is still unhardened. I've never had an issue once the exoskeleton has hardened though. They are a large and very attractive bark scorpion that is a lot of fun to keep.
Can you do a video for central am bark scorpions setup please
Can you do a Nhandu Chromatus video? I have one and I'm basically clueless.
Could someone tell me the best substrate mix for my T's? For both arboreal and terrestrial/burrowing species.
Sir I am your biggggggggggggggggggggggest faaaan
But I don't have any tarantula 😢😢😢😢😢 I am ableeeeeee to get one......
But I enjoy watching your beasts 😊😊😊😊
I also love the scorpions
Hey richard. How many broods have you gotten by now?
Hello Richard I've been trying to get a few Florida Bark Scorpions 🦂 Can you point me in the right direction. Fear not is currently out of them. I've been searching for a while.
Can you do a husbandry video of E. Murinus?
You should do an emperor scorpion husbandry
This was one of my first species, I got a pair unfortunately the female well outlived the male, but she ended up giving me several Scorpling broods
I us to breed them. I want to get back into it again. I love them.
more scorpion caresheets please
No problem! Be sure to subscribe to my second channel...that is where I will be uploading them!
czcams.com/channels/_qeXoZIdygzTvxbPIdnaLQ.html
So at what stage can they be put in the communal again?
Hey, The Tarantula collective! Can you do a Brachypelma Smithi next?
I already made a video onbthe Brachypelma hamorii which recently had its name changed from the Brachypelma smithi...but the care is also identical to the species of tarantula now known as Brachypelma smithi as well. You can watch it here: czcams.com/video/hS53x0Vc_qc/video.html
@@tarantulacollective Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification!
Sir, I want to ask my C. gracilis just mating and how long female brood the baby?
If you move the young ones into the commune after they're grown, can there be issues with inbreeding?
Could u pls do a care guide on a camel spider/ sun spider/ solifugae thank u. love this channel♥️, and nice scorpion video I'm about to get some🙃😂.
Sure thing...when I am able to do it, it would be posted on my second channel:
czcams.com/channels/_qeXoZIdygzTvxbPIdnaLQ.html
@@tarantulacollective thank you
I found one of these guys in my walls I'm trying to get all of them out if there are more then the one male. He ran from me it's night time so now I'm keeping the light on till I can get him out
Was getting ready to order some from fear not but they sold out already. I saw you also have some C Vittatus for sale through them. Is the care the same as they’re also bark scorpions?
Yeah, essentially the same but not as important to keep the humidity up. I will be making a video on them very soon on my other channel
I just checked the website, it shows they still have some in stock.
the Tarantula Collective Excellent! I checked last night and thought it said out of stock lol. Ordered 2 of each
You rock! Thanks for the support!
bien bien bien
Wow Richard do they really glow in uv??? 🙃
Can you tell me the size of the gbb at your website im having trouble understanding
I'm not sure what you're referring to?
@@tarantulacollective The gbb on your website it says the size is 3/4" - 1" i dont understand how big that is
@@gruntlegpeice6099 oh I think i understand. I think you are confused. I dont sell tarantulas, I take photos and make videos on tarantulas and other inverts and exotic pets. Sometimes different dealers or companies pay to advertise on the channel or help out with one thing or another. If you are referring to Fear Not Tarantulas which I link to in this video, they are a separate company and I do not own that company, manage their website or work for them. So any customer service questions would need to be sent to them. But they have a page on their site that explains in detail how they measure their tarantulas. 3/4-1" means three quarters of an inch to 1 inch in size Diagonal legspan.
C. Meridionalis Husbandry please..
Wish he would do one on the Arizona bark scorpion
That is something I can definitely do!
@@tarantulacollective just so hard to find care sheets for them. And I’m preparing to add two to my collection
Hey Richard! Question for you.
If these are communal in the wild, how does a mother scorpion prevent her babies from being eaten by her community members?
I think it is because they have a lot more room to spread out and have their own territory
I love this video! C. Gracilis was my first species, and it's been so hard to find solid info like this. I have one question in regards to breeding- mine is a female, and I understand that this species can reproduce through parthenogenesis. Does that mean it's possible for my female to become gravid, even though there are no other scorpions in her enclosure?
From my understanding, there is only once confirmed example of this and it was from species in Cuba. Outside of that, there has been no officially recorded instances of parthenogenesis in captivity outside of Cuba. So more than likely not, but if it happens, make sure you let people know.
Oh, great to know! I figured it was much more common, haha.Thank you so much!
👍👌
You got any Florida barks forsale
Can you do video on Emperor scorpions. This are my favorite one's. Don't have any scorpions at this time. GOD BLESS and have a great day.
Yes, I plan on covering that species on my other channel linked in the pinned comment
Thank you and I found the new channel a subscriber to it. Looking forward to it. GOD BLESS
You drove all the way to Washington Pa, aren’t you in South Carolina?
Nope....I'm like 30min outside Washington, PA
@@tarantulacollective I recognize the location because that’s like five minutes from my house, my five-year-old has been watching a lot of your videos lately because recently he just got a desert hairy, and Asian forest and now he wants a communal set up. Wife is super ecstatic about it . Great videos!
hey dude
Can my Chilean rose sling eat a roache the same size or a wee bit bigger than its self ??
Possibly, but usually you dont want to offer them prey any larger than 2/3rds their size. If you are going to feed them something the same size or larger, probably best to crush the head of the roach so it doesnt hurt your t, and they wont be able to eat the whole thing, so you will need to remove the uneaten prey when they are done.
@@tarantulacollective thanks very much
Wait... this isn't The Scorpion Collective 😉
I watch all your scorpion videos. I really want a florida bark scorpion but I can't find one for less than like 140$ after shipping. I've got a small collection of scorpions now and I'm lookin to make my collection bigger. I've got little ones so I can't have anything to venomous. I've got a dune, cuban blue and an emperor. Ide like to buy one of your fbs if possible. I handle all my critters and feel like this species would fit me and my wife. I know you're now big on selling but I'm interested in the species and I'm a big fan of yours. Ide love to have half the housings you have. I'm in southern IL so ofcourse ide understand shipping from wherever your at. I hope you see this and acknowledge me. If not I'm still gonna watch your gig. Big fan
Thanks for the support dude. And you're right, I am not big on selling. In fact I don't really do it at all. I honestly would hate to part with any animal I am caring for. And packing and shipping live animals is a lot of work and very expensive. A dealer selling FBS would probably only have to charge $50-60 for overnight shipping bc they get a discount rate bc they ship so much. I don't get any discount so it would cost $80 or $90 for me to ship something priority overnight. During the fall and winter, fbs can be hard to find and a little expensive. But once the weather gets warmer they start appearing everywhere. People in Florida are paying exterminators to get rid of them on their property. You can usually find them for sale for $15 or $20 each, maybe even less. If my communal produces more babies this year, then I might be able to help you out, but I am not intentionally breeding them, so there is no guarantee I will have scorplings anytime soon. Check out Arachnid Rarities...he can usually find some fairly cheap. I'd also reach out to microwilderness...he has had the hookup on barknscorpions lately.
i just ordered 5 of youre babys .and i get a free tarantula .my wife is going to freak out .for the scorpians and the spider
Do you have a video on Asian forest scorpions
Not yet, but it is coming soon
How potetnt is their venom compared to new or old world tarantula?
I'm not expert in venom strength, but if i had to guess...i would say stronger than NW but not as strong as OW. It isn't lethal and won't send you to the hospital unless you have an allergy...it just hurts very bad.
@@tarantulacollective Nice, I want to improve my scorpion "collection"(I have obly one lol), and this one looks amazing and has some decent size. Shame I am from europe and corona shut down every expo :(
i just got my first tarantula plz reply
I'll get first one of these times.
Do u ship scorpion if so I would love some spieces I don't have
I sent some of my scorpions I have available for sale to Fear Not Tarantulas. You can find the links for them in the description of this video.
How do u know if its pregnant
Next asian forest scorpion
