About this Fella

Deathstalker Scorpion for sale from Big Z's (Leiurus quinquestriatus). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.

The most infamous scorpion on Earth

Leiurus quinquestriatus, the Deathstalker Scorpion, is the classic straw-yellow member of the Leiurus genus and the single most medically significant scorpion species most keepers will ever hear of: slender, fast, and unmistakably serious from the moment it arrives.

This is a display-only animal for experienced hot-keepers, full stop: no handling, ever, a secure double-contained enclosure, and forceps and a catch cup for every bit of maintenance. Big Z only ships advanced buthids to keepers with a confirmed enclosure plan and is on the dot for these orders; reach out anytime if you want your setup looked over before or after you order.

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 →
