Centruroides vittatus (Striped Bark Scorpion)

from $12.00

Geographical Distribution: Southern United States, the original lineage of these were collected in Southern Nebraska.

Size: Small-Medium 2”-3”

Habitat: Semi-Arid - 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/Sand (60/10/30 ratio) with vertical cork bark. Reptisoil works well too, can provide sphagnum moss to help maintain humidity. Substrate should stay slightly moist (clump together) but not wet (squeeze water out).

Temperatures: 77F- 85F (25C-30C)

Water requirements: Ensure substrate stays slightly 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)
