Hello!!!

I might be able to help you out. Here are a some Tityus articles. The Tityus you are wanting to keep can be kept the same way.

Tityus falconensis by BrianS

Tityus bahiensis by Drapion

Tityus stigmurus by SOAD

They can all be kept in very similar conditions; on a moist humus substrate with some bark to climb on/hide under. Good ventilation is also important if you raising scorplings of these species, living in Brazil you should just be able to keep them at ambient temperature. In terms of food, any insects smaller than then the scorpions should do.

Thanks a lot! I'm looking for a pictures collection about the brazilian scorpions from amazon region. But I found just a litle. Are there more pictures in the "Scorpions of Brazil"?

Best Regards!

Another question: are you using brazilian humus? Because, here, in Brazil, humus means worm compost, like this: http://compost.css.cornell.edu/worms/basics.html

This compost has a lot of nutrients, not like peat!!

Best Regards!

I use peat. While others use coco fiber.

Yes peat is very good since it holds moisture well
