- This New World scorpion is from Brazil.
- Optimal growth and development occurs at temperatures in the range of 78-85 F, with 80-82 F probably being close to optimal for this species.
- The adult size is 1.8" - 2.4" in length.
- They are very easy to raise, grow fast, and reproduce readily in captivity. That, and they're incredibly communal.
- Parthenogenic - Prepare for the eventual 3-4 litters per year for 2-3 years. After the first litter, females will produce a new litter approximately every 30-45 days. The majority will produce 3 litters per year for 2-3 years. Tityus stigmurus prefer to deliver their young while suspended upside down under structure where the female forms a birth basket with legs I or II or both.
