About this Fella

Yunnan Rock Scorpion for sale from Big Z's (Scorpiops validus). Spice-rated keeper notes, care guidance, and live-arrival packing where eligible.

A cool-country rock scorpion from the mountains of Yunnan.

Scorpiops validus, the Yunnan Rock Scorpion, is a heavy-clawed scorpion from the hill forests of southwest China. Scorpiops are crevice dwellers that rely on the pincers rather than the sting and want cooler, more humid conditions than the desert species. These arrived at 1.5 inches.

Spice Level 2: Beginner. Flat cork or slate stacked with gaps to wedge into, moisture-holding substrate, a shallow dish, and room temperature rather than heat. A mild sting by reputation, still tongs only.

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 →

Curly Hair Tarantula, Tliltocatl albopilosus
Spice 2: Beginner ready Beginner-level care does not mean no preparation. Read the animal listing and care guide, then choose the enclosure and supplies it needs.
CB: Captive bred Hatched in captivity, not collected from the wild. It has only ever known enclosure life, so it's used to the kind of setup it's heading to. Terrestrial: a ground dweller Lives on the floor. Give it floor space more than height, a hide, and a few inches of substrate. Keep climbs short so a fall stays harmless.
