This is an adult female Urodacus novaehollandiae I have had since March last year. She lives quite happily inside a takeaway size food container. The container has a hollow log with a peat/soil mix kept slightly damp, the container is pretty well sealed off.
She is reaching parturition, I'd say it will be March some time when she has the young. When I first got her she weighed 2.35g, she now weighs 3.45g, a weight increase of nearly 50%. Quite a neat scorpion, she is about 80-90mm in length.
This species is an obligate burrower living coastally and sometimes within metres of lapping waves. In South Australia they tend to occupy shell grit soils rich in decaying organic matter.
