hi all. i'm more of a Tarantula person but i found a cute little tri-color at a cheap price so i thought i'd pick it up. i have no idea what the specific species is.

i want to keep it in a deli-cup for a while and i was wondering, does this species like to burrow at all? if so i'll need a bigger cup hehe. also, is there anyways to tell looking at its coloration what it specifically may be?

it's going to be one of the Opistophthalmus species... possibly O wahlbergi.

They are nice scorps, but ultimately as obligate burrowers they are pet holes. keep the temps around 75 to 85f with 60 to 70% humidity.
