Typopeltis laurentianus (Indochinese Vinegaroon / Red Leg Vinegaroon) The Texas Giant's tropical cousin, and one of the rarest vinegaroons to ever hit an American shelf. Same heavy pinching pedipalps, same long whip of a tail reading the dark, same shot of vinegar when something grabs it, on a darker, glossier animal with the rust-red legs that give it the hobby name. No venom, no sting, slow and deliberate, and a conversation piece every time someone leans in for a look. If you already love the Texas Giant, this is the one you have been waiting for; if you have never kept a vinegaroon, this is a beginner-friendly oddball with a defense mechanism nothing else in your collection can match. Grab a Red Leg Vinegaroon today while this import lasts. Why do hobbyists keep Typopeltis laurentianus? • Rare in the Hobby: an Asian whip scorpion that almost never makes it into the U.S. trade. Few collections have one. • The Red Legs: rust-red limbs on a glossy dark body. The best-looking vinegaroon available. • Living Fossil with a Vinegar Gun: a fine spray of acetic acid is its only defense. Harmless to you, fascinating to watch, and a story to tell. • Easy and Long-Lived: no venom, no sting, simple burrowing setup, years of life. How should Typopeltis laurentianus be kept? • Adult Size: about 1 to 2 inches of body, plus the pedipalps and the whip. These are subadults and adults, unsexed. • Enclosure: a 5 gallon or an 8 inch cube with 4 to 6 inches of substrate to burrow in, a snug hide and cross-ventilation. • Temperature: 75 to 85 degrees F. Warmer than the Texas species. • Humidity: 70 to 80 percent. Coco fiber kept moist enough to hold a burrow, never swampy. This is a rainforest animal, not a desert one. • Water: a shallow water dish at all times. This listing: 1-2" (Subadult/Adult, Unsexed) WC. Spice 2: Beginner. Ships FedEx Overnight, Monday to Wednesday. Live arrival guaranteed on overnight service: photo within 2 hours of delivery.
