Kitty's Crumble is made from coconut husks and is FINE for use as a substrate, I've used it with Rainforest scorps, centipedes, giant roaches with no dramas..
BTW On another point just make sure your not in a national park area because it is then illigal to collect wildlife (but if your allowed to collect fire wood I doubt it is a national park).

lol sorry quick google search and zac is right, i thought kittie crumble was a different thing.
that sounds ok lisa (heating), but i wouldnt really allow all of the lio's sub to get dry, as they are a rainforest species

Ok
Keeping these is dead easy.
No heat
Substrate should be coco husk or something similar without any fertilizers in it. I use the brand "Brunnings" which is available at Bunnings for $2 a cube which will last you life time.
Keep the substrate wet but not soaking
Have some foilage in there, leaves, bark ETC ETC
Food add a few woodies/crickets in every few weeks.
If growing it'll shed it skin maybe once or twice a year.
There is nothing more to keeping them apart from keep moist.

Follow what he said
, just to add to that, I stopped giving my scorps roaches as the species of scorpion are quite slow and roaches tend to be quick and burrow, you can try it see what happens but they never worked for me (unless you hand fed).Zac.

are you saying all i have said is incorrect?
i cant go on google as it stuffs up my computer, i had to go on my ipod to see what it is
heres a pic of my setup if you want an idea (got 7 in it)
with these scorp i take 1 of the back legs of the crickets, you dont need to but its easier for them to catch.

Here is a website with a few caresheets on scorpions, none for rainforest scorpions but they are most similar in care to the Flinders Ranges Scorpion but like more moisture.

Can't tell from that picture. I have included a pic below of what you are looking for. If your scorp has a tooth and notch like this it is a male.
it is definitely a FEMALE...
There is great information on them in the link below. Gestation periods for scorpions are quite long, 12-18months for this species, so don't be expecting much to happen quickly.

And they need cocopeat instead of sand.
