Centruroides margaritatus (Central American Bark Scorpion)
A big and impressive bark scorpion species! These are reemerging in the hobby and will be very popular so grab them now while you can. Now available in a 5 pack starter group! These are 2i/3i and are feeding well on small crickets and roaches.
Geographical Distribution: North Western South America, Jamaica and Cuba.
Size: Medium-Large 3.5”-4.5” (9cm-11.5cm)
Habitat: Humid - Solitary Housing when young, Group Housing when mature (Note: cannibalism may still occur, many cases of females cannibalizing males in group housing)
Substrate: Peat/Coco fiber/Vermiculite (75/15/10 ratio) with vertical cork bark. Reptisoil works well too, can provide sphagnum moss to help maintain humidity. Substrate should stay moist (clump together) but not wet (squeeze water out).
Temperatures: 77F- 85F (25C-30C)
Water requirements: Ensure substrate stays moist by spraying the substrate with water as needed (Note, misting substrate is not sufficient, you must make sure the substrate is soaking up the water)
