Quick Facts
- Size: 2.5 – 3 inches in length
- Temperament: Skittish and defensive; classic “Devil” attitude
- Care Level: Intermediate 🌟
A hardy and prolific species, the Striped Devil Scorpion is famous for its thick tail and aggressive feeding response. While their venom is not medically significant for most, they are lightning-fast and prefer to retreat or stand their ground rather than being handled. Like their cousins, they fluoresce brilliantly under UV light, making them a centerpiece for nighttime viewing.
🏡 Care Requirements
Provide 3-4 inches of a semi-arid substrate mix (sand/topsoil). Maintain temperatures between 75-85°F with moderate humidity (around 50-60%). Offer a flat rock or cork bark hide for security and a small, shallow water dish. Feed appropriately sized crickets or roaches every 1-2 weeks.
