Vaejovis Confusus care?

[cheeky]

Ken the Bug Guy has some V. Confusus for a good price but I know nothing about them. Can somebody please tell me the care fot these guys? Such as are they communal, how to house them, temps and humidity, breeding, activity level, and venom potency.

Basically emulate their natural environment.

Sand/peat/dirt mix. I'm told they can be readily found in moister environments or where its shady and cool. I have a spinigerus and I keep it room temp or higher and mist it once a week. It's done fine and been very squirrely.

Ok. So just sand/peat, keep em warm, and give some hides and they will be happy?

Basically. These are the majority of what I find here when I go hunting. I keep all of mine at room temp, give them water once or twice a week, and feed them a couple small crickets every week or so. All of them are doing excellent. One appears to be gravid, and basks all the time. I usually find them under rocks on dirt. Not sand, but dirt, so I mix a bit of clay, coco fiber and sand together for a more dirt like consistency. They are quite nervous and will sting readily, so watch your fingers!

no, not on plastic surfaces anyways... just wood. I even leave their containers open when I feed, they can't even scale a 1in high container.

If i cannot get pinheads, would a cricket ripped in half work, or like a large cricket drumstick (like you would do with a very small Tarantula sling?)
