What would be easier to get breed Hadrurus arizonensis or Heterometrus cyaneus. Also which of these would be the easiest scorplings to raise . Would like to hear peoples ideas on this.

Heterometrus by far. Hadrurus are notoriously difficult to breed and raise because they need very specialised requirements which us humans cannot supply. Heterometrus on the other hand is much easier. Keep them humid, 70-90% humidity, temps at 28-30C and a gravid female will have no problems producing a good brood.

Bugzuk have unsexed H. cyaneus and there are some available on HERE. It's a German classifieds site, but people from all over Europe use it so it's one of the best ways of sourcing more difficult to find species.
