Vejovis carolinianus

Thanks XO we'll try the wood pile approach.

Well, partially rotted wood is exactly what I use and have had no deaths, and had a recent birth that went perfectly, so I know I duplicated their home almost perfectly. Do keep in mind, you should heat the wood prior to use to kill anything which might be in it. Whether a scorpion can or cannot survive with something else in the wild, it will change the environment while they are in a small container together and the scorp can no longer get away from it, enabling the scorpion, or scorpion young, to become prey items instead of the predators.


adios,

Hey, sounds like a great scorp specie. Hows the venom on those? I think its very interesting an adult scorp of that size.

Thanks again XO.

Yea Steve they are nice even though they're small. Not sure about the venom, but the info I found says it's mild like a bee sting.

From the description a friend gave me shortly after being stung by one, they "hurt like a..." (I wont say it, out of courtesy). Obviously, they are nothing that is going to severely injure someone, but the people around GA refer to them as "Georgia Scorchers", so the nickname often used here pretty much tells you.


adios,
