I am very interested in this fascinating species <Liocheles australasiae> but after searching the forums, google and dogpile all I know is that they're a small, asian and parthenogenic species. I would very much like to know more about their captive care, habits and environment, would anyone who is experienced with these little guys share some wisdom?

I used to keep some. I kept on damp peat and provided some bark climbs/hides. They are very docile, in fact they never tried to sting. They would sometimes sting a cricket though

They also seem to play dead when disturbed, the only scorpion species I've ever seen do it.

Keep them at about 25c and 75% humidity with some bark to hide under and moust coco fibre as substrate :)
