Parabuthus question...

[jper26]

I have 2 one I keep on sand and rock who just prefers making scrapes. The other I am trying him on dry pure peat. The one on peat has burrowed about 5 inches down he is a smaller guy im thinking he has one moult left. So im hoping he can successfully moult and live a good life and then I might keep more on pure peat.

i dont mean to get off topic here, but should i put my M. martensii on pure dry peat or keep it on wet down sand?

Hi, i also have one small p.leiosoma. Great scorpion to keep. i keep mine on 4-5 inches of sand with wood scrape and a little moss. and a water dish. When ever you touch his tail he moves a little and little drops of venom come out, Quite intersting.
Thanks, Andrew

rainman,

I've heard of people keeping them on both. I keep mine on packed sand. I think it's just a personal preference.

i just prefer the sand look, cuz it looks better.

This is great info. I have heard that P.lieosoma can be a bit more challenging than most in terms of raising them up from young to adults. Needless to say, they are somewhere on my "eventual projects" list.

Cheers,
Dave
