5 Count Lot for sale from Big Z's. Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
Five Florida Bark Scorpions in one box, at 25% off the single-animal price
Centruroides gracilis, the Florida Bark Scorpion, is a slim, dark, long-legged climber that lives pressed flat against tree trunks and tucked under loose bark. Despite the name it is really a Central American species that has also naturalized in Florida. It hunts at night, scales cork like it was born on it, and lights up neon green under a UV flashlight. This listing is the five-count lot of the exact same wild-caught 3-to-4-inch adults Big Z's sells one at a time.
Five is a real communal colony rather than a few animals sharing a box, and it is the sensible way to stock a tall cork-bark display or start a serious group. Give them vertical cork, cross-ventilation, and enough hiding surface that nobody has to compete for a spot. This is still a buthid with a genuine sting: hands-off, Spice 3, and best for intermediate keepers ready to respect it. All animals ship unsexed. Five animals also means five animals' worth of shipping and heat-pack planning, so check Big Z's current live-arrival and weather policy before ordering, and read the full care guide before the box lands.
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 →
