damnit... just took a quick drive into very close local hills to collect some wood/rocks..look for bugs..etc... Came across a beautiful Anuroctonus phaiodactylus (i think correct ID). Was a quick drive back, but had no h2o. 15min drive and the poor thing overheated ...only a few twitches...dead now fairly certain. Been waiting here for a miraculous recovery, but even the twitches have ceased. I really hate when I make bad decisions like that. Wish i hadnt spotted it.. it be still out there doing its thing. _________________

Sorry to hear it... Not the first time that has happened, though. People really need to be prepared if they're going collecting... :-/ _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
Crazzzzy though (not totally surprised) ...it has recovered somewhat ...enough to keep its tail up, using its legs and react a bit.
MAY have made it through this afterall ...a little time will tell.
Seriously, though...the bugger really was limp toast with no signs of life for an hr or so! [/i] _________________

That's how three of my Vinegaroons were when I came home and found the UPS guy had left their shipping container out in the sun on my front porch... Two of them died, but one came back to life a few hours later. I would have *sworn* she was toast, too. I hope yours pulls through O.K.! _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)

Scorpions are...weird like that. I had a Vaejovid that was DEAD, even Dr. Sissom thought it was dead(he was IDing it), the next day it was up and running around. _________________ - Kevin aka What

Spunkier today, but not feisty like when I caught it. It did move some dirt around (a little) ...which is a great sign. _________________

Hey Kevin ... ....do i owe u some $?.. just cant remember. [ 4the luscious tail ya brought by?]
MUD ..its concerned with itself ...hiding from light ...curling up..so forth. Thats normal behavior ...so...maybe no "retardation". Simpler systems.. human/mammal would have been permanently vegi meeshed.
One thing though ...its been ""humbled"" cause it was an attacker when caught and now its just... well seems...just happy to be alive. _________________
