Rhopalurus junceus tips and tricks

[NMWAPBT]

I'm planning on tracking down some r. Junceus in the near future and was wondering if anyone who keeps this species can offer any insight in keeping them. I've got the basics down temp between 75-85. Medium to low high humidity...keep em moist but not soaked etc. I was hoping for any other info or things you've learned that helps them thrive in your time with this species. Is there any variation from scorpionling to adult as far as care goes? How do they do communally and does care have to change for breeding? Is there a change in ambiance for the breeding season? Thank you in advance. ~Dini~

Honestly that's about all there is to it for them. Keep them fairly humid and room temp or a bit warmer is fine. You'll want to feed the scorplings more frequently than the adults, but otherwise care is the same. Don't keep them communally, they will happily eat each other. You'll want to bump up the temps if you have a gravid female.

Minor note, but the genus name has changed. They go by Heteroctenus junceus now.

Thanks for the info! I didn't know their name changed that will definitely help in tracking some down.
