Brotheus granulatus Info?

[ReignofInvertebrates]

I’m thinking about getting some of these, but can’t find any info on them (husbandry, venom level, etc). Any info would be much appreciated.

Not medically a significant venom.
Brotheas (a not u)...
Google scholar will set you up with plenty of reading material. Many papers in french. French Guiana, Brazil...
Neat scorpions.

With the insane diversity of scorpion fauna in Fr. Guiana I wish we would see more species come in with them when these pop in from time to time!

I have a couple myself, they’re pretty easy. I keep them pretty much the same as a Heterometrus, give them a fair amount of dirt with humidity, couple cork logs, and they’re good. Venom wise I can’t say for sure, but I’ve been told by another fellow keeper that they’re not dangerous. Stings hurt a little more than a Heterometrus/pandinus but not much more.

I'm surprised you found a source for them...

Thanks,

I didn’t get this information from somewhere online, I’ve had this species for some time now and I’ve been successful so far in how I kept them.

What would you say the adult size is? I've heard they're kind of like miniature Heterometrus.
