looks to have a lithophilic morphology to me given the dorsoventral compression, broad flattened chela, strongly scupted claws on the tarsal segments, and thin metasoma. all ideal for living in the crevices of rocks and being able to grip their surfaces.

Haha!, I only thought those things without bothering to type details and is why I went with the flat rocks. ...so that's a "I second that..." OK so I'm also not going to keep them as dry as flatrock scorps, but not too humid either. Since I don't know for sure, I think they will be OK and might give them diff gradients to go to.

Go for the different gradients and observe the specimens over a week or so and keep track of where they hang out the most, the dry parts or the moist parts. After you have established this, give them a likewise environment.

Liocheles waigiensis if I'm not mistaken... though I think this one is already identified a year ago...
