Tank help for scorp

I've posted a couple pic of the scorp I've been asking about but there not very clear so I'm going to post some new ones tonight but being asthough he's from the southern states should I go with a half sand half coconut substrate until I'm sure of his species? Sorry to keep touching on this scorp just want him as comfortable as possible

I looked at your pics and boy the resolution was bad. I am no expert but I think it looks like an Arizona Bark Scorpion.[img][/img][img][/img]
Does that look like it?

I was thinking it looked like a bark or jaejovis too to you know what set up a bark needs?

Yea it does very much so except he has a skinnyer body and how large do they get this guy is about 1 inch and can get up to 2.5

Is the tail the same?

You can use sand as a substrate. Probly 50-60% humidity, 85-95 degrees they are common where I live. And in the summer this is about the temp and humidity they seem to thrive in. When I catch them I feed them small crickets ants, flies.

about 2.5" is the largest I have seen.

Tail looks like that and has rings thou it like the body when there younger do they have a thinner body? And ok I'll switch out my coco fiber for sand tommorow

If you are using coconut sub it should be fine. Just dont have it soaking wet. They like dampness so youre good. Arizona Barks like to climb and will escape given the chance. They have a nasty sting. I dont think they dig much. You will usually find them under a piece of wood or a rock

Yea that sounds like him that's where I've found him the last few days haha I'll post a pic on here later tonight just so you have a better one to work with thanks thou

best i got till i get my new digital cam hope this helps

I really think it is. Where did you get it?

From a exotic pet store it was sold as a Texas yellow but I was told that don't nesasarily mean it's from there just a general name for a southern scorp

but either way their natural habitat is basically the same. They are both from the same region, and share the same diet.

Alright thank you how long did it take you to learn all your info on scorps

I'm going to have to step in here and say that is NOT a Centruroides.

Sithis, the pics you posted were of two different species -- one was a Centruroides sp., but the other looked more like a Vaejovis sp.

Sinister, does your new camera have a macro setting? It's usually designated by a tulip symbol. Try backing up a bit; most camera's won't focus if you're too close to the subject.

It's my I phone so no but I'll go get a new camera I need one anyway
