Latest project! Enclosure for a Desert Hairy scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis)...

The sand, rocks and plants are all from Arizona or native to the region. A 40% mix of digging clay to give it some strength as a burrowing species. Used to keep them a long time ago, and looking forward to it again.

(no scorpion yet in the pic, so don't panic 😊 )

My new hobby is trying to find how many species of jumping spider call my garden home. So far I've identified 4. This guy would be number 5. I think it is a Hentzia, aka long-jawed jumping spider.

I got a rare treat tonight! I looked over and saw my elusive Chilobrachys sp. 'Electric Blue' out of its burrow. I snapped as many photos as I could without distrubing it too much and these are the four best.

Checking the ground next morning. A slow backing burn doesn't leave much to smoulder so all good. Also the burn is slow enough that can get out of the way. We watch thousands of (mostly moths, mantids and grasshoppers) flying away as we burn (have you ever seen a mantis fly? they are amazing!) You can't see it in my crappy photos but there are thousands of tiny cobwebs glistening in the morning sun next day. The spiders probably took shelter in the deep soil cracks as the fire passed.

A new tarantula painting done, this one being Monocentropus balfouri🕸✨️ She was a challenge to paint just bc I tried a different way on Procreate, but I really like how she turned out!

2/2 A flaw in the habitat led to darkling beetles. We built a bioactive tank for the darklings and call it the “retirement home”. In the home the darklings eat a more natural diet and still get their fav foods. They’ve started mating which I assume is a good sign. Essentially the worms work on eating the styrofoam, but are treated humanely and eventually allowed to retire somewhere warm where they screw all day and are cared for until they die.
