About this Fella

Florida Bark Scorpion for sale from Big Z's (Centruroides gracilis). Comes with a Spice rating and a care guide, and ships packed for the weather.

A dark, climbing bark scorpion

The Florida Bark Scorpion, Centruroides gracilis, is a slim, dark scorpion that lives on tree trunks and under loose bark, climbs well and hunts at night. It is native to Central America and has become established in Florida.

It is a buthid with a painful sting, so it is a hands-off animal for experienced keepers. They often tolerate each other in groups. A tall enclosure with cork bark suits it.

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 →

Amazing seller—the best I’ve ever come across on MorphMarket! Big Z goes above and beyond to help you find exactly the animals you’re looking for. The variety of species available is incredible, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and their animals. Shipping is fast, professional, and everything arrives safely packaged. I can’t recommend Big Z highly enough. A true legend in the hobby!

Get experience, will be going through him in the future. Everything arrived alive and was packed extremely well. Would recommend anyone wanting an arachnid or an enclosure for one to go through big z's

Very easy to communicate with and response time was fast. Purchased inverts the end of last week and they shipped on Monday and arrived in great shape on Tuesday. Very happy with the entire experience and will look to purchase again for our Bug zoo in the future. Nice selection of Florida native species that we were looking for.
