Genus Typopeltis

Current deals →
4 species

Asian whip scorpions, and this is a genus where honesty serves better than detail. Four species tracked here and very little live stock at any given time.

They are close relatives of the American vinegaroon and share the core biology: no venom, an acetic acid spray from a whip-like flagellum, heavy front pedipalps for crushing prey, and a burrowing habit. Taiwanese, Japanese and Southeast Asian distribution.

Beyond that, reliable hobby husbandry information is genuinely thin, because almost nobody in the West keeps them and captive breeding data barely exists. Supply is occasional wild-caught Asian material with no consistency. When one appears the asking price is set by a single seller with no comparison point, which is exactly the market condition where a listed price tells you nothing about value.
