Hi,

they are to be kept half-humid, substrate soil, they like to dig, temps around 22 - 25°C but not above as they seem to react sensitive to longer periods of higher temperatures.

Hi Annelies,

unfortunately not. I´ve had a lot of my chilean bothriurids die during a hot period of a few weeks this summer. Actually that´s why I know that can´t stand longer periods of high temperatures.

I just picked up a couple of these today at the Reptile Super Show. Are they communal? I am keeping them separate but I am curious about the conmunal aspect.

Did Chile open up again or are people who have them are finally selling them? It seems that they are suddenly coming up again. I kinda doubt that they are communal but if you end up breeding them and get a good amount of them maybe you can try it. But that'll take a while lol. I hope you like the scorps

Thank you for the info. I got them at the LLL Reptile booth at the show. They had a half dozen or so.
