The Red Clawed Scorpion is an impressive and highly distinctive scorpion, known for its dark body, robust reddish-brown claws and powerful appearance. Its striking coloration and defensive posture make it a fascinating addition to a well-planned invertebrate collection.

This species is best suited to keepers who appreciate observing natural behaviours and maintaining a properly designed scorpion enclosure. Provide a secure enclosure with an appropriate substrate, hiding places, good ventilation and access to fresh water. Depending on the species and locality, humidity and temperature requirements can vary, so we recommend researching the specific requirements before purchase.

Scorpions are primarily nocturnal and may spend much of the day concealed before becoming active after dark. They should be treated as display animals rather than handling pets, as they can sting and should always be handled with appropriate care.

Key Features:
• Striking dark coloration with contrasting red claws
• Fascinating nocturnal behaviour
• Excellent display animal for an invertebrate collection
• Suitable for keepers with appropriate scorpion-keeping experience
