Hi

I got two of an unknown Heterometrus sp. this weekend.






I'm thinking about keeping them together in a 36x20x23cm tank (14"x8"x9")
Alternatively, I can do some shuffling and free up a 10 gallon tank with a single H. laoticus in it, which would then go into the smaller tank.
Should I try to keep them together, and would the larger tank be ideal for this, or would the smaller tank be acceptable?
I have some time to wait, as I want to make sure they are well fed before trying anything.

Any thoughts?

Hard to ID from a photo, but I was wondering more about keeping them communally.
Any problem keeping them together in a 3.5 gallon tank, a 10 gallon or not at all for the moment?

Keep them together, sure, shouldn't be any trouble at all.

Ok...question now is how to tell them apart ?

Whats different between the laoticus and the cyaneus...and the differences between cyaneus and the spin ?

i assume the spin is spinifer. u can see right away from the claws. the cyaneus got a more uneven claW. correct me if i'm wrong :)
