Thai Flat Rock Scorpion for sale from Big Z's (Scorpiops cf. kautti). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.
A flattened body and dark pincers built into a small scorpion.
The Thai Flat Rock Scorpion (Scorpiops cf. kautti) has a brown body, black pincers, and a low, flattened profile. These are offered at 1-3 inches in length. The exact species is not confirmed, so the care approach stays grounded in related forest scorpions. Start with a secure enclosure and sheltered crevices that suit the animal's small size.
Spice Level 2: Beginner. Our care approach follows related forest scorpions: stable, low cork crevices over sheltered, lightly damp substrate, with ventilation and a less-moist area available. Use lightweight, supported cover instead of loose heavy rock piles. We recommend individual housing, manageable prey, and leaving occupied retreats alone through a molt. Use a catch cup and tools rather than bare hands. The Big Z's care guide explains the enclosure layout and routine care.
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 →

Scorpiops cf. kautti
Identity confidence: provisional. This is a genus, group, or trade name rather than a confirmed species. Treat it as the closest match we can stand behind, and use the more conservative end of any range.
Big Z's Quick Verdict: Give this scorpion a sheltered damp retreat beneath firmly supported cork. House it individually and keep air moving above the substrate. The setup is adapted from related forest scorpions; the trade identification is not a confirmed species diagnosis.
| Temp | Keep conditions steady and measure beside the occupied retreat. A reliable care range for this cf. kautti stock has not been established. Do not deliberately chill it based on a supposed highland origin, and avoid direct sun or unregulated heat. |
|---|---|
| Humidity | No fixed humidity % target. Keep a sheltered area of substrate lightly damp, with a less-moist area available and open ventilation. Water gradually away from the animal; avoid pooled water or a sealed, saturated enclosure. |
| Setup | Humid forest-floor enclosure with stable low cork crevices and ventilation |
| Substrate | Use cohesive, diggable soil with enough depth to hold moisture beneath low cork cover. This is a related-forest-scorpion setup, not a measured species minimum. Support furnishings independently so digging cannot cause a collapse. |
| Feeding | Offer manageable crickets or roaches and watch for feeding response. Use smaller portions for smaller animals; remove refused live prey promptly and clear food remains. Pause feeding during a molt and until the body has hardened. |
| Handling | Handling discouraged. Use a catch cup and tools for maintenance and transfers; keep fingers away from pincers and tail. |
Humidity zones: Very Low under 30% - Low 30-60% - Low-Moderate 40-70% - Moderate 60-80% - Moderate-High 70-85% - High 80%+ - Very High 90%+
