Hello everybody

Well I know a few of you know about my not so good success rate with scorpions and a few of you remember me trying to choose between B.gigas and G.grandidirei but the breeders just got a new import and the list includes a lot of vaejovis sp and a few other odds and ends but the ones that caught my eye were C.hentzi they have listed as 3/4 wild caught specimens from the US. Just wondering if these guys are relatively durable at that size? I was planning on doing a pill vial set up with cross ventilation and a cork bark slab with Eco earth sub, does that sound good? I really like centuroides sp and Hentzi is really appealing to me!

Thanks in advance
James

I would personally choose the paravaejovis (vaejovis is no longer valid at the moment) species over the centruroides, but that's just because I like vaejovidae lol.

You may have problems with the hentzi during shipping, they dont tolerate freezing temps, unlike paravaejovis, which do. Your setup sounds just fine.
