Coronavirus (Corvid 19)
I am doing my best to keep going. Ginny's Jungle is unable to run and many of my customers (educational establishments, animal event organisers, petting zoos) are not in a position to buy new animals at this time. I am still caring for the daily needs of all my animals and I am continuing to send out orders and am also accepting orders for collection. I have added the following additions to my regular terms and conditions:
1) I will despatch orders as soon as possible (you will receive an email with the tracking number once the parcel has been despatched).
2) Royal Mail are doing a good job, they are still guaranteeing next day delivery but it may possibly be a little later in the day than usual.
3) If a refund is required for any reason this will be given in the form of a voucher (to be used on my website within the following 12 months)
4) You are welcome to call and collect your order from me. Simply let me know what you want and when you would like to collect.

Thank you for your support, understanding and patience at this very difficult time for us all. Please feel free to call with any enquiries, I am available Mon-Friday 8am - 4pm on 07971 838724

Common Name: Vinegaroon (Whip Scorpion)
Scientific Name: Thelyphonus species

Size: Large juvenile
Status: Captive bred

A black scorpion like creature, really different! Take care, the name Vinegaroon comes from their ability to squirt a vinegar like substance from their long tail!

How I keep mine

I keep my Vinegaroons separately in plastic boxes with peat or coir on the base and pieces of bark or half a flower pot to hide under. I place my boxes on a shelf with a heat mat on it, I use a strip heat mat (15cm wide) and this covers part of the base of the box (several boxes can fit on one long mat). Like most bugs it is a good idea to give them a dry and a damp area to choose from. I find the area above the heat mat is dry and the area not covered by the heat mat is more moist. I use plastic boxes for my Vinegaroons as I have lots of arachnids and don't have the space to keep them all in individual tanks but of course they do equally well when housed in a plastic or glass tank and are much more visible. I feed my vinegaroons on crickets or cockroaches once a week.
