Title says it all, which scorpion species (hot or not) grows fast, doesn't have molt problems, and can withstand temperatures in the 60's and 80's?
Also, I've never seen a single PT die from bad care. All the deaths I've seen are from accidents like dropping or crashing, and it almost never happens.Ignore everyone else: Parabuthus transvaalicus is your bet
It really can't get simple than PT, they will eat anything that moves and will never have molting problems.
I have a breeder friend who kept a couple hundred of them without heating throughout the winter (-5C at the coldest) without a single death
The breeding is pretty simple too, they will do their thing
They grow incredibly fast... but not the fastest, that goes to Lychas tricarinatus, I've seen them mature in under three months
The second fastest grower I've seen is Hottentotta hottentotta, which is also a super easy desert species, make your pick
Be careful if you decide on getting a Parabuthus transvaalicus. It is a highly venomous, dangerous species that has the ability to spray venom at the face of its attacker.Also, I've never seen a single PT die from bad care. All the deaths I've seen are from accidents like dropping or crashing, and it almost never happens.
You have to try really really hard to kill a PT, it will survive anything short of a nuclear fallout
Appreciate it lots! The hottentotta can handle 60F temperature?Ignore everyone else: Parabuthus transvaalicus is your bet

Depends on how long, they probably won't for an extended period of timeAppreciate it lots! The hottentotta can handle 60F temperature?
P transvaalicus sounds like the way to go.Depends on how long, they probably won't for an extended period of time
I have one and absolutely love the little guy... lots of attitudeP transvaalicus sounds like the way to go.
My home is in the 70's most of the time.. sometimes in the winter it can get in the 60s. I always hear scorpions need more heat, but if this species can be fine in that temp then I'm interested! I hope they can grow fine in those temps too
