Centruroides sculpturatus feeding advice

[Veno Manus]

Found in Sedona AZ.

 

[MorbidArachnid]

Paravaejovis spinigerus, one of my favorite species of all time and an extremely fun and easy beginner species. They're not picky about their substrate, and can be found almost everywhere in Arizona from sandy/soils and rocky hills. Even heard they're found at fairly high elevations, only place they aren't found is pure sandy dunes. They scrape or burrow depending on conditions, and they have a lot of personality! This one appears to have an injury on it's right chela though.

I told my wife I wanted to find scorpions and the first rock I flipped over this one was there. I found a lot of offspring too.

That's not a sculp, that's a vittatus.

Sorry to bother you again, but is there any chance you know how often I should feed it?

If you are ever suspicious on feeding a scorpion, just look at the back segments of the metasoma and if they separated and not over swollen then they most likely will take a meal. You can see a difference significantly after a good meal. I like to do it this so I'm not like crap, when did I feed you last. I have an AFS Silenus Female that's a literal garbage can. She will not get bigger. I've fed her 4 times in the past week about and she's just huffin down food. I also like to almost simulate a " wild" feeding schedule. It's kept my group alert and waiting for more. Being to consistent they tend to not want food. That's just in my collection though been working pretty good.
