I think there are 10 species in Peru,it did not say anything about Subspecies ,so good luck with that! LOL

hey....me again xD is there a way to know how old is an scorp? oe how many molts has done?

Only if you raised it from birth although you can usually tell when they are adult.

as it looks its mature so with it being mature its an adult so that guy is likely to be full size

what no jokes scotty hahahaha its a scorp

so its an adult...not bad eh? how much does an "average" scorpion live?

no not bad at all thats a nice find.
it realy depends on species and how its kept and fed and cared for
but it can be from 1-5 years with these guys i believe

that's good....i was about to ask my cousins to catch some scorpion's nest near where i found them xD ... the best live food i can give them are the crickets! i've heared about the mmmmm "tenebrio molitor"?...are they a good source of nutrients for this guys?...like 2 weeks ago i found 2 spiders (i think loxosceles laeta) in my house so i catched them and the scorps made a meal of the spiders...but im not too keen on givin' them that sort of things...so if i can't find crickets, can i give them the "tenebrios"? and instead of them...what else can i give them? thanx

well those spiders are realy part of theyre diet in the wild so they are safe for it to eat
tenebrio molitor=(meal worms) are good as well as are crickets or smaller grasshoppers

but the loxosceles and the tenebrio are alof of protiene and thats a good thing for scorpions
so you should have a healthy scorpion on those alone
ithats what i would do

Pretty much any bug it can catch will do,even a small lizard as a treat is good.

yeah pretty much anything it can get ahold of

here's a video of this guy:

hahaha ouch hahaha
you should take the scorpion out and compact the sand so it doesnt cave in when it burrows
that what i used to do for my diplocentrus sp's.

yes i need to do that...it has happened many times T_T ... well here's the latest video i uploaded...the scorp & the fly:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CCrZYrHP8c

Is good that substrate? or do i need to change that o do something with it to be more compact? how often should i change it? i improvised a sort of "terrarium" there but what else can i add to this one to make it better?
other question...how do they drink water...i found these in desert and i heared that they get water from their victims or air humidity but...for example, can i put a little plastic dish with water?

Hahaha awesome vid ..... Bye bye mr fly!

Cool video!
The soil needs to be at leat 3 inches deep for him to burrow.To make the sooil compacted wet it down then press on it and let it dry out.
If you want the soil left at that level add a peice of bark or something else it can hide under(in the video it is trying to hide and can't).

To let it drink either add a cap of water or spray water in a corner once a week.

hehe thanx...i expected a better quality but well... i'll try to upload more videos of my two arachnid friends...

haha what a active scorpion haha cool to watch this guy

hahah yeah, he's really active i would say he's a bit crazy xD ....
i need to add more sand , so he can go deeper....
...now, what can i do to destroy any possible parasit living there? i read i can put my sand in microwave oven for some minutes? does it really work? is there other method?

the best way is to clean any scraps out after you feed it.
you can bake the sand but its only good for killing off the eggs that
a parasite would produce but thats about it just keep it cleaned and your good
