Centruroides bicolor

Anyone have any information or care sheets on this species

Managed to find a sexed pair which should be sent next week

Any info would be appreciated

Are you sure it's C.bicolor and not C.margiratus. I DEMAND PROOF!!!
Either way keep the moist and humid. Moist peat with some bark fro climbing. Vertical speace is more important that width.

We'll see when i get them lol.

Thanks.

Is the care similar to Tityus?

yeah semi humid environment.

Great. Getting a sexed pair and a 4i unsexed A mauritanicus

Nice, I had a chance to get some, but then parents got in the way.

some bicolors? They're really hard to come by. True bicolors that is. I want some

YEa, Vixvy from AB was selling some and sent me some pictures. I was still new though and haven't looked in a while though.

I would have gotten them anyways lol. Yeah vixvy had some

Are they hard to breed or just not to many in the U.S.A yet?

There just isn't many, and so I don't think people are breeding.

Thats a huge shame everybody and their dog wants one lol ive wanted one for about a year or so now.

bicolors get a lot bigger than margas, right?

about the same size you have to count notches on the chela to be 100% sure.

Ok so if the ones i get are true bicolors i will do my best to get you all a few when i breed them

I can't agree with that statement Abyss...I have both C.margaritatus and C.bicolor and my bicolors are clearly larger than margaritatus. That's both male and female. My female bicolor is approx 5 or 10 mm longer than my margaritatus female plus she's slightly bulkier.
You also have to take into consideration that my female margaritatus is adult while my female bicolor is sub adult. So even though they are at different stages my bicolor is still larger than my margaritatus. I'm assuming when she moults to adult that she'll be a good 1½ to 2 cm's larger than my margaritatus.
My adult male bicolor is also longer than my adult male margaritatus by about 10 mm to 15 mm plus body build is also slightly stockier.

My bicolors have been 100% ID'd by Giorgio Molisani so there's no doubt that they are C.bicolors

Adult male C.bicolor


Sub adult female C.bicolor
