B. Jacksoni

Hi.. I wanna get some B. Jacksoni can somebody help me!? Because some told me that they are not really venom i need more information about this species thanks!

Hi Roy,
I kept a group of these a few years back. They are considered a 3 out of 5...so you don't want to get tagged, won't kill you, but it will certainly take the fun out of high fives for awhile. They are bark scorpions....coco fiber, lots of vertical bark...they need it to molt hanging from it. Keep a third to one half of the substrate moist and the other part dry. They like it warm...30C during the day with a drop at night. Keep them separate until they reach adult...then they can be housed together with very low risk of cannibalism. Get some. They are aggressive feeders come in orange and chocolate color morphs.

Okay tnx for the info :-) now i know lot more and i know what to do ;-)

Did one of them ever tagged you?

No...I've never been tagged, and I don't plan on it. I did have one run over the edge of the container once,they are fast...don't get your hand close to them...they appear more docile than they are. If you search "Babycurus Jacksoni" in the Search box above there are some old threads with more details on how I kept them.

I don't even wanna touch them i'll wil use a pincet to move them.. I will take a look thanks ;-)

I got tagged, hurt like a burn, but that was all that really happened. They are super fast as previously. Aside from the size of mine, I don't bother them because of the speed. They don't need vertical bark as seen here: http://www.panarthropoda.de/sub/haltung/skorpione/familien/babycurusjacksonien.php. This is a great resource for care.

Royke, they are venomous, don't forget;) all scorpions are venomous.
I would consider this one, a 2 and I consider an Emp 1 on a scale from lowest danger to higher.

Shreddy is right. they don't need vertical bark , but it's fine to give them the option.


As I told you, what is confirmed here, that they have a speed to be reckoned with.
Although they can be sluggish in the beginning they can burst out very quickly, that's why they are regarded as unpredictable sometimes.

I would recommend you to transfer the scorpion with a cricket container, gently nudge it with the tongs into the container and secure it with a lid. I would'nt even bother with holding it by it's telson, you can avoid all that I think, by being careful and perhaps there won't even be a need for you to catch one.

Although B. Jacks venom is not considered as being medically significant, SF user Mako made an excellent video how to transfer medically significant Buthids which was perfected a few times...

I think you might get something out of it anyway check it out here :0

They are gorgeous and play dead sometimes. Sometimes because of their coloring you can actually be looking right at it and not see it. Also they move like lightning once they know they've been spotted. I just picked up 3 and they are vicious hunters taking down prey their size if not larger.

Wow beautyful! i really like this scorp! And thanks for the info! :-)

Gorgeous pictures Yames!!

Very very cute is their humidity level higher or lower than C.gracilis?

higher.

Wow thats kinds surprising to me i mist my C.gracilis quite a bit maybe im over misting them?i read somewhere the humidity for B.jacksoni was close to that of an P.imperator is that true?

Tommorow i get my B. Jacksoni so happy :-D

I hope you take lots of photos

Yeah i will

Not as high as Emps...I kept a third to half the substrate moistened...just don't let it completely dry out. A wet side and a dry side works well.

Congratulations man! I hope you enjoy them.

Good luck!

Try to have to do as little maintenance as possible. They will be there one second, and on the run the next. Especially as youngsters.

Thanks all!

Oeeeeeee BABYCURUS JACKSONIIIIIIIIII bring it on finally

I just saw them on facebook! Nice shots Roy...post 'em up here man. You got some stunners for sure. Makes me miss those little orange scorpions!
