Babycurus jacksoni(Rusty Thick Tail Scorpion)
Common Name: Rusty Thick Tail Scorpion
Scientific Name: Babycurus jacksoni
Range: East Africa
Type: Terrestrial
Communal: Maybe
Adult Size: 4 inches
Temperature: 80-85 degrees
Humidity: 60%
Temperment: Semi Aggressive
Speed: Medium
Venom: 2
Diet: Young can eat pinhead crickets,small roaches,or mealworms. Adults can eat large crickets,roaches,or superworms.
Housing: Adults can be kept in medium critter keepers,2 gallon tank,or rubbermaid type container. Babys can be kept in small critter keepers or large deli cups.
Substrate: Peat moss or sand/soil/peat mix with rocks and hides.
Additional Info: Bark can also be added to the cage. Most seem to like hideing under it and occasionally clinging to the dark side of the bark. They seem to be very good climbers. In some places B. jacksoni is considered dangerous and others its not. The buthid family has some deadly members so I would say B. jacksoni packs a punch but not deadly. Caution should be taken not to get stung.
