Florida Tailless Whip Scorpion Care?

[Pilotoloto]

Hey all, I'm getting the itch that it's time for a new pet, and since I'm currently restricted to small inverts, I did some researching and figured out that I really like the Florida Tailless Whip Scorpion (Phrynus Marginemaculatus). Only problem Is that there isn't a whole lot of clear info out there on them pertaining to captive care. Can anyone help me out with stuff like Temp, Humidity,setup, and Substrate? Also, would a 32oz deli be large enough for an adult? If not, What would be a good size? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A great pet, I love all my amblypygids! Room temp or a bit warmer is fine, high humidity with low ventilation, slanted or vertical piece of bark, cork, or Styrofoam for them to climb on, and I usually use cocofiber for substrate. Substrate doesn't really matter since they won't be on the ground, they'll spend their time on the bark. I keep mine in 32oz deli cups since it's a smaller species.

Thanks dude, this is really helpful!

I don't have any tips for you, as my whips will be coming next week and I'm a first-time owner! But I'm getting the same species- Phrynus marginemaculatus- so I thought I'd just reach out

They're an unique group of creatures and not many people seem to keep them, so when we find each other, we've gotta stick together

If you get your Florida whips and have any insights or want to compare any care methods, shoot me a message! I'm hoping these whips will be the first of many I keep. I wish you the best of luck!
