Hottentotta hottentotta (Congo Alligator Back Scorpion)

These are captive born 2i/3i from captive born mothers. This species is parthenogenic and although quite common can be very rewarding to keep! Keep semi arid on 70% peat and 30% sand offering moisture by spraying a corner of the enclosure and side 2 times a week and keep in high 70s to low 80s F. The young require more moisture than the adults.
