Can you post a pic?

If you've managed to identify this scorpion as that particular species, then you should already know more than most people here!
I don't recall Pseudolychas being a very common species at all

Best advice is to keep it in a similar habitat to what's surrounding your workplace!

Hopefully someone with more experience of SA scorpions will chime in soon!

It is rare in the hobby but not where it occurs in South Africa. In this time of year they become active and regularly end up in houses and other buildings. They are mildly venomous.
I never kept this species, but if I were to get some, I would keep them on a sandy soil, some pieces of bark for them to hide under, and a bottle cap as a water dish. Fill once a week.
Maybe a little spray of water in a corner biweekly.

Can you post a picture of it, so we can confirm the ID for you??

Cheers,

Michiel
