A small, quick desert scorpion

Paravaejovis spinigerus, the Striped Devil or Stripe-Tailed Scorpion, is a burrowing desert species from the US Southwest and northwest Mexico. Adults are around 2 to 3 inches long with a striped tail.

Its venom is mild and not considered medically significant, which makes it a common beginner desert scorpion. It is skittish and faster than it looks, so it stays a display animal. Pack the substrate so it can dig a proper burrow.

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 →
