Hi,

you should check the sternum. If it´s pentagonal it´s C. keyserlingi most likely, if it´s slitlike it´s a Bothriuridae sp. There has been a thread about it some time ago, you should try the searchfunction.

Regards
Alex

I have checked the sternum, I think they are Caraboctonus keyserlingi.
So the question will be, how can I take care of them?

very thanks

Hi,

substrate soil, daytimes ~83°F, nighttimes a few ° colder, constant humidity. And the fat one could be a gravid female, you should keep this specimen seperated.

As far as I know there isn't one, most scorpions don't have them

Hi,

what about "Keyserling´s scorpion". At least that´s what the specific epithet means.
