| Hey all!
Quick and simple question:
Can Tityus Obscurus (formerly known as Tityus Paraensis) be kept together in the same enclosure without problems? Anyone has any experience?

COMMENTS:
As Tityus silvestris it is often found at the bottom of the awara-plant.
The species of the genus Tityus can live in groups. I often observe Tityus Paraensis (Obscurus) and Tityus Silvestris living in the same awara. So there it is! A (near) direct translation from french to english. Hope someone will find it usefull (besides me! Ordered 1.3.1 of the speciment can't wait!!! ) |

| i do believe most tityus are pretty good with being communal as long as they have food or you take out any gravid ones so the cage mates dont go trying to eat the little ones but those are cool scorps so you should not realy have any problems as long as you are keeping them in the right conditions
