Dune Scorpion

Own a piece of the American Southwest's nocturnal mystery: The Live Dune Scorpion!

Bring the captivating world of desert dwellers right into your home with the magnificent Dune Scorpion (Smeringurus mesaensis).

Why the Dune Scorpion is a Must-Have:

 * Ghostly Desert Beauty: With its pale, sandy beige color, this scorpion perfectly mimics the dunes of its native habitat, offering a visually stunning and unique addition to your invertebrate collection.

 * Impressive Size: As one of the largest scorpion species in the United States, reaching an average of 3 to 4.5 inches, it commands attention in its enclosure.

 * The Ultimate Nocturnal Hunter: Watch as this fossorial (burrowing) species emerges at dusk—a true spectacle of the night. Their active hunting behavior is exciting to observe during their prime hours.

 * Built to Last: A relatively hardy and long-lived pet, the Dune Scorpion can thrive for 5 to 10 years or more with correct care, providing you with years of fascinating observation.

A word on care: While generally straightforward to keep in a desert-style setup (deep, sand & soil substrate for burrowing), please note that this species is generally considered to be aggressive and may sting more readily than more docile species. Its venom is not considered medically significant to healthy humans, but all scorpions should be handled with extreme caution and are for observation only.
