Can vinegaroons be co-habitated?

I guess the title says it all. I'm looking at the 'Malayasian Vinegaroons" on Swift's site, btw. I'd like to get 2 or 3 an keep them together like Emperor or Red Claw scorps.

I've had several of the north american sp. but I've not kept a Malaysian. If it were Mastigoproctus giganteus, I'd say "no". I've seen males put up with each other but they would rather not be in the company of another. The females will try to kill each other if confined in the same container. I speculate that it would be the same for the Malaysian sp. I'd email Swift's and ask since you're not getting many responses here so far.

Thanks for your reply. I did some searching and found basically the same stuff you just said. I get such a kick out of watching my P cavimanus climbing all over each other i thought it'd be sweet if 'roons would live that way as well. Alas... I'm still getting some though.

Pairs can be safely kept for some decent time.

my typopeltis lived together in harmony, just keep them well fed. i have seen underfed babies eat each other and wild ones chomping on one another twice. but they seem peaceful if not hungry.
