Hey John, having moved from Milwaukee to Tucson to SC and now to FL it's tough because you always miss something about some other place during every time of year.

Oh well, just wanted to say I love the Coleonyx, when I lived in Tucson I had a group of 1.7 in a 60 gallon and was lucky enough to get tons of eggs.

Just wanted to share a good tip for anybody looking for them.

I always did this as it was VERY EASY to find them this way and I felt more like I was saving a life then taking one out of the wild.

Drive golf courses, they have so much irrigation (sp?) that there are those 10"x12" boxes everyplace covering the motors/valves.

If you lift those covers you will almost always find one or two, not to mention a few scorps. They live well in there as it's always dark, there is always dew to drink and fresh bugs falling in. Since they're basicly dead to their echo system I never felt bad about collecting those.
