P. silvestrii.....FAT P.silvestrii? They look about the same size but one looks ready for a molt and the other gravid. I've suspected these are comunal in the wild as well.

any chance unrelated ones of very different sizes could live communally if well-fed?

If I am remembering correctly most vaejovids are mildly sexually dimorphic in the claw size/bulbousness.
I think females have 'short' bulbous claws; while males have more 'lean' claws.

Pulk,
Typically, Paruroctonus do not exhibit high levels of mutual tolerance and express no true form of sociality, and in the wild, the bulk of their diet generally consists of con- and heterospecific scorpions. However, all scorpions, even more aggressive species like Leiurus quinquestriatus and Scorpio maurus will cohabitat under certain circumstances.
