They can be kept communally if enough space is given (5 gallons for a 1.2 triplet). Smaller enclosures work for single specimens; these animals do not move much. Due to their slow metabolism, their needs are minimal-- room temperature is fine, ideally within the 60F-75F range. Substrate must be kept moist, but they can tolerate some dryness. Heating is unnecessary, and a winter diapause may in fact aid in breeding this species. They prefer prekilled prey like small crickets.This species is extremely common in my area, and I want to offer it to dedicated hobbyists as it is rarely kept nowadays. I especially want to encourage breeding, which is why I am offering discounts for larger groups. When kept communally with enough space, hides, and food, breeding this species is not challenging, though it can be slow.Reply to my post or contact me at (949) 522-5230 if interested.California Forest Scorpion (Uroctonus mordax) - $15 each/5 for $60/10 for $100 (Other custom numbers will also be offered discounts.)Shipping: Shipping is usually $15-$18 for 2-Day with FedEx, but I will need a ZIP code for a precise quote.
