Indian Black and Red Scorpion (Hottentotta sp. India) - 0.25-0.5" (Scorpling)

Plenty of scorpions are display animals. This one is a discipline. The Indian Black and Red Scorpion is a buthid and an Indian Hottentotta, sold under an open species name, Hottentotta sp. "India". Big Z's keeps it to Hottentotta tamulus standard. H. tamulus is the Indian red scorpion, one of the most medically significant scorpions in the world, and holding this animal to that line is a deliberate conservative control: secondary containment, long tools, a staged catch cup. These arrived captive bred and young, at 0.25 to 0.5 inch: scorplings and small juveniles, which is a lot of scorpion in a very small package. The setup is simple and unforgiving: a flat stone or cork cover, one dry exposed surface, one sheltered damp zone, real cross-ventilation, one animal per enclosure, and every vent opening smaller than the metasoma. A Baby Buddy is the right habitat fit.
