Scientific Name: Hottentotta Hottentotta
Common Name: west african ground scorpion..
(30 each) ok lets start..
Range: can be found almost everywhere in Africa ^^ based from what ive read, kay wa pa ko ka adto ngadto... puhon kung nakoy kwarta
Type: Terrestrial
Temperament: they are very very aggressive, they go crazy whipping their tails when disturbed ...
Venom: level 3 out of 5
Diet: i feed the slings small baby lateralis... this small >> 0 << and bigger as they grow.. i feed them every once a week...
Size: 7 to 8cm when fully grown.
Sexing: they dont like sex at all.. dont know why.. all are females .. they pop when mature..
slings: 50 +- ( feed them more and get more )
Growth: very fast if u powerfeed more or less 6 months adult na.. ..
Temperature: i keep mine dry ... and in a normal temp.
i keep them in a individual container as they like to eat each other ..
substrate : coco peat with sand.. or without... as long as its dry..
i dont give them water because ..
Conclusion
there for i conclude that keeping this specie is very low in maintenance as they can survive without water and you can leave them for how many weeks without food and still survive... they pop when they feel poping.. no problem on mating.. only on disposing the slings as they tend to multiply very fast..
..never underestimate this cheap but venomous specie as it gives a painful sting and runs faster than an ant smaller then this >> . <<
