Hadrurus arizonensis question

Hi guys

I am thinking of getting a pair of Hadrurus arizonensis from my supplier but I have doubts. Seller told me that it is a hardy specie and not hard to keep BUT in his extensive experience he newer saw Hadrurus arizonensis moult and mating he said is near to impessible.

I would like to know what you guys think on this as I love to raise scorps trough molts and try to breed them.

Thank you

Well I've had 4 females and 1 male and I keep the tank very dry and good and warm, I've lost 2 of the females to mycosis. One of them came in with it and died within an hour of unpacking. The other died just last month. I got the females in December of 11 and they haven't molted. The male I know is sub-adult and I've had him since Jan of this year and he hasn't molted. First time I've had this species and they are proving interesting.

I lost my first one to mycosis as well.

AS for mating them in captivity ive heard it is very hard to do i have no experience with it myself just lots of places seem to say that they are however a very stunning and very active species in my opinion they are awesome to watch for hours each day good luck hope this helped in some way

Thx for the answers. I am just afraid to get them just to see them die as I am very connected with my pets and dont like to see them suffer in any way.

I couldn't agree more. some people say it's only a bug, but they have no idea!!! It's a life and all life is precious.
