Advice on rearing an liocheles politus

Hi all I can't find any info on this species any were and I was just thinking you guys might help
And also I've got some babys comeing Thursday and was wandering wat to feed a Scorpio that small lol

Hi Antmac.

Liocheles politus. Are you sure you are getting this? There is an Iomachus politus, or there are a few Liocheles spp. but Liocheles politus doesn't exist.

I'm assuming that you are getting I. politus, but if it is Liocheles, many of them require very similar care.

They're very easy to care for as slings. Mine are being kept individually in small 'deli' tubs. They have a substrate of coco fibre that is kept damp(humidity 70%+). Small, flat pieces of bark are used as hides, these guys like to squeeze into small spaces. Keep them at temperatures between 25c - 30c. I'm feeding mine on 3 or so pinhead crickets per week but after getting some feedback off someone I sold a few babies to, they will also take pre-killed food. It saves having to buy a tub full of micro crickets every couple of weeks just for a couple of scorpions lol. Give the tubs a light mist twice per week to keep the substrate damp and to give the little guys a drink.

These scorpions are super slow growers but are great, and easy to keep.

Can I be cheeky and ask where you are getting them from??

Hahaha cheers fella that would be why I could not find any think on them lol

The that's fine I've pm'ed you

Haha don't worry about it.

Good luck with them when they arrive.

It seems that a lot of people who got female I. politus from TSS ended up with babies soon after they arrived.

I think I was just haveing one of those moments hahahaha

Yeh I no that's what I was thinking its just a shame cus I would love to go to someting like that , but my problem is getting there lol

Are those shows normaly good for scorps then?

A bit of a blonde moment aye lol??

Getting where? TSS is the spider shop. Another blonde moment haha ??

But shows are good, I went to the BTS last year and that was huge. If you like T's it's great but unfortunately it was lacking on the scorpion front. Hopefully this year will be a bit better for them, TSS has got some interesting stuff in anyway.

Lol yeh I was in the middle of a 12 hour night shift lol

Is there any chance you could email me pics of your set up for the I.politus please?

I ent too keen I ts but I might have to get to the next one, just for the experience lol
