About this Fella
Albino Black Deathstalker Scorpion for sale from Big Z's (Leiurus jordanensis 'Albino'). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
A pale Leiurus. Same venom.
The 'Albino' form of Leiurus jordanensis, the Black Deathstalker, is a pale color form of a scorpion that normally runs amber to near-black. The color changes nothing about the venom, which is among the most medically significant of any scorpion. This is a single animal at 1 inch.
Spice Level 5: Extreme. Display only, no handling, ever. Double containment, tongs and a catch cup for every service, a dry arid setup, and a keeper with hot-buthid experience. Check local legality before ordering; a sting needs professional medical care. Read the Big Z's care guide before it arrives.
The numbers live in the care guide. Enclosure size, temps, humidity, feeding schedule, premolt signs, handling boundaries: it's all in the care guide for this exact fella. Start with the full Advanced guide, or click for the quick Open the Simple version →

Use This Guide Safely
Confirm the exact animal. Match this guide to the species, locality, size, and life stage on your label. If the ID is uncertain, use the more conservative part of the range and ask before changing the setup.
Change one thing at a time. Treat temperature and humidity as target zones, then watch posture, burrowing, drinking, feeding, and molt behavior before making another adjustment.
Respect the handling boundary. If the guide says no handling, fast, defensive, or medically significant, plan transfers with catch cups, locked lids, and no bare hands. For serious bites, stings, or symptoms, seek emergency medical care.

Burrow Buddy: larger juveniles and adults. Small, bare and secure, with one tight hide so it stays in view.
Critical Notes
Highly medically significant venom that can kill, especially vulnerable people. Antivenom is unavailable in most countries. No handling, ever.
Extremely fast. Open only with long tools and a catch system, and only when you can already see the scorpion.
Not for casual keepers. Escape-proof enclosure, secondary containment and no open-room transfers, every time.
Tiny instars drown in open dishes. Pack the shallow water dish with pebbles or coarse grit.
Clear every feeder when it stops eating before a molt. Leave the soft, pale new molt alone until it hardens and darkens.
One per enclosure. Group housing is a risky expert experiment, not normal care.
Care Basics
Never handle it. Open only with long tools and a catch system.
Use a small, escape-proof enclosure and keep it hot, dry and simple.
Put many tiny vents low on two opposite walls so air actually crosses the substrate.
See the scorpion before you open. Minimal clutter, one tight hide.
Keep water in a shallow dish packed with pebbles.
House one per enclosure.
Feed small prey with long tongs and remove anything uneaten within a day.
Feeding, Growth & Maintenance
Offer small crickets or roach nymphs at or under body length, and small prey for instars.
Young eat every 4-7 days, adults weekly to every other week. Remove anything uneaten within a day.
About 5-6 molts to maturity. A premolt animal stops eating and stays put: clear every feeder and leave the soft new molt alone until it hardens.
Drop prey with long tongs over a catch container, into an enclosure where you can already see the scorpion. Never by hand.

Advanced Keeper Notes
Enclosure & Microclimate
Pick a small, escape-proof enclosure over a big display. Dry substrate and one tight hide keep the animal visible before every opening.
Tight vents still have to be real vents: many small openings low on two opposite walls, at the substrate line, none big enough for a 2i to pass.
Airflow holds 30-45% on its own. Don't close vents to hold heat, fix the heating. Still damp air under a hide grows cuticle fungus, even on a desert species.
Check by hand during tool-based maintenance: substrate dry to the base, and anything you moisten dry again within a day.
Don't mist. To offer a damp option, pipette water onto the substrate under the hide and let it dry back.
Feeding, Growth & Maintenance
Offer small crickets or roach nymphs at or under body length, and small prey for instars.
Young eat every 4-7 days, adults weekly to every other week. Remove anything uneaten within a day.
About 5-6 molts to maturity. A premolt animal stops eating and stays put: clear every feeder and leave the soft new molt alone until it hardens.
Drop prey with long tongs over a catch container, into an enclosure where you can already see the scorpion. Never by hand.
Possible Origin / Range
Likely native range: Jordan and the surrounding Middle East, in desert and arid scrub.
Habitat translation: Hot, dry and sparse, in a secure, escape-proof enclosure simple enough that the animal is always easy to find.
Advanced Keeper Details
Same genus as the Deathstalker, L. quinquestriatus, which by several measures has the most toxic scorpion venom of any species.
Every Leiurus can cause serious envenomation, and antivenom is unavailable in most countries.
Not a communal scorpion. Group attempts are expert-only projects with extra space, heavy feeding and a separation plan.
Some places require a permit to keep Leiurus. Check your local rules first.
Safety and visibility beat decor: small, secure and simple wins over a complex display.

Beautiful spider who arrived in excellent condition! My family and I are very happy with the professional and honorable service we received from this business. As such, we would like to recommend them to other potential customers.
Love my grossa! Such a beautiful species, and I have zero complaints about Big Zs tarantulas! They really are one of the best, from packaging to making sure you have everything you need for your new addition, including enclosures and clean up crew. I couldn’t be happier and will definitely be purchasing from again.
Unfortunately arrive dead but was packaged very nicely and seller kindly helped me with what to do next. Unfortunate events mostly due to weather, but otherwise will be buying from again.

Seller was super happy to communicate with me, and even offered to answer questions I may have in the future. The shipping price was very reasonable for the kind that’s required for these kind of items. Packaging was great; there was a cooling gel and everything else required to keep it safe. Item as described and would do business with them again!
