Scorpions


Brazilian Striped Back Scorpion (Tityus stigmurus)
CB babies, 1/2" $20 each
Very interesting species from Brazil, T. stigmurus is a smaller species that is an overall golden- yellowish with darker greyish smudges around eyes, telson, tips of pedipalps, and a faint stripe down the back. This species is also parthenogenec, and produce offspring without needing to breed. These need to be provided with a vertical peice of bark or dried leaf for proper molting. Keep semi-moist, and keep in mind, the venom with this species should be considered dangerous although few deaths have actually occured. BE VERY CAUTIOUS!!

Mordant Scorpion (Uroctonus mordax)
WC adults, 1.5" $20 each
This small northwestern U.S. species is from the forests of California, Oregon, and Washington state. Dark brown overall coloration with lighter yellowish legs. Found often under logs and leaf litter, and because of their range, these should be kept cooler than many other scorpions in the hobby. These can play dead also when disturbed. Very interesting species, these resemble minature "Flatrock" scorpions!!
