The name 'bark scorpion' is more commonly used to describe Lychas sp. that can be found in large numbers under bark at certain times of year. Alternatively the Centruroides genus from northern and central america are also referred to as 'bark scorpions'.


What species have you bred 'Scorpionking'? Any obligate burrowers?
Cheers

I have sussfully breed in cativity Urodacus manicatus "Brown Scorpion", Lychas marmoreus "Marbled Scorpion",Cercophonius squama, "Wood or Forest Scorpion" and at the moment I have 3 gravid waigenisis.......

I am always looking to expand my collection...

None of these are large burrowers, they normally hide under leaves and bark etc... sometimes a shallow burrow is made especially females when they gravid....

These are N.S.W local species (except the waigenisis) and can be found in southern states as well, as the further northern parts of australia the species then to be larger, more aggressive and more venomious..... hehehe!

[bredli84]

i always heard that the keeping of scorpions in captivity was very difficult as they tended to die on u. is this the case? or are they little diff to other animals so that if the basic requirements are met they will do well?

I believe it is all about enviromental conditions, there are many variables to consider when keeping scorpions as pets.....

1. Life span even though not proven is only short..5 to 7 years.. especially in comparison to other exotics....my turtles will live for 70 my ecelectus will live for 75years....!

2. Where are they from...? then manipulate environmental conditions to suit, considering some species can come from even sub-zero temps... all environmental conditions should be considered.... if not sure.... find where they are from..... go to www.bom.gov.au Bureau of meteorology, they can tell you max/min temps, humidity all year round.....etc... for that part of australia to determine environmental conditions....

thanks mate.

Yes they have live young.....

My female has 21 babies on her back.....

The babies stay with the mother untill they have a full exo-sceleton (sorry bad spelling) then they can fend for themself...!

 

[ashman07]

thanks, do they have that many even if the scorpion is only very small like the ones i find

 

[hornet]

i have 2 types of manicatus, "alpine" and "black rock" which could possibly be gravid, also got 3 possibly gravid wood scorps(cant spell their name) if anyone can get me lychas i would be very grateful, i have bred them once befire and i have 1 now, i want more so i can start breeding again, scorpion king, did you have much luck raising the baby lychas?

 

[hornet]
