Stimpson's Vinegaroon
Typopeltis stimpsonii
No venom, no sting
Vinegaroons are harmless to humans — no venom and no sting. If threatened they can spray a fine acetic-acid mist (it smells like vinegar) and give a firm pinch, but neither is dangerous. Avoid getting the spray in your eyes.
Sprays acetic acid
Can spray a fine, concentrated vinegar mist when threatened. Not dangerous to skin, but genuinely painful in the eyes — keep it below face level when handling.
About
A robust East Asian vinegaroon with heavy pedipalps. Species-specific husbandry is thin, so this follows standard tropical Typopeltis care: warm (75-85°F), humid (70-80%), with deep moist substrate it can burrow into and a hide — it is strictly nocturnal, flees light, and digs deeply. No venom and no sting; it sprays acetic acid (vinegar) defensively, which is harmless but can irritate eyes. Feed crickets or roaches; it's a modest eater. Long-lived for an arachnid.
