You will be very satisfied with Orthochirus, despite their size. They are very entertaining scorpions.

That whipscorpion looks like a fierce beast!

You and me both! There definately not enough of these specs. i just can't wait for them to import some of the giant amazonian ones

i really want a whipscorpion. they're way sweet! i'm afraid my room gets too hot in the summer for them tho so i've never gotten one and i doubt i will

The Paraphrynus, is that its true color? On my screen the legs look red, and the body almost purple. It's stunning! :drool:

Congrats on all your new additions!

 

[Canth]

Yup! That's what it is And thanks everyone!

What type of environment was it in? Should I keep it moist? Temps, cool?

 

[PIter]

Man that Orthochirus scrobiculosus' small! I'd sure like one though!

I found them at night in 85-90 degree temps. they live in mouse holes and cracks in the dirt, they can handle high temps but would benefit from a small water dish filled once and a while, though not as damp as tropical spp of Whip scorps. and Of course a vertical hide. good luck
Darrell.
