Are there any parthenogenetic scorpions that can be kept communally? I plan on getting either a H.hottentotta or lychas tricarinatus and I would like to know if they can be kept communally? I heard many hottentotta species can be kept communally but I'm not so sure about this particular one. If not then are there any other parthenogenetic ones that can be kept communally?

Hottentotta is only communal as adult
Tricarinatus should have solitary housing

Tityus stigmurus does will but theres still a small amount of cannibalism in the 2nd and 3rd instars

What about Liocheles australasiae? Can they be kept communally?
They can

For like five minutes

For some reason these little tiny freaks attack their own species much quicker compared to a prey item...
Generally not a good idea, but some people were able to make it work.
If you have a couple of adults that's providing you with slings periodically then you can give it a try, I wouldn't put all my eggs in a single basket though.

Lychas tricarinatus and Tityus sitgmurus are probably your best bet.
