A climbing scorpion with a serious sting
The Arizona Bark Scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, is a slender, pale scorpion about 2 to 3 inches long from the Sonoran Desert. Unlike most scorpions, it climbs well on bark and rough surfaces, and it glows brightly under UV light.
It is the most medically significant scorpion in the US. For experienced keepers only: no handling, a secure locking enclosure and forceps for maintenance. Bark scorpions often cluster together in bark crevices. Read the care guide before you order.
Full care is in the care guide. It covers enclosure size, temperature, humidity, feeding, molting signs and handling limits for this species. Read the Advanced guide, or the shorter Simple guide →
