The Care and Maintenance of the Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis)
The Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis) is North America’s largest scorpion and a fascinating display animal for anyone interested in desert ecosystems. Native to the arid deserts of Arizona, Nevada, California, Utah, and northern Mexico, these scorpions dig deep burrows to escape heat and humidity, emerging at night to hunt insects and small vertebrates. In captivity, they thrive in deep, dry substrates with strong ventilation and ample floor space. While hardy, they require careful care and ethical sourcing, as most available scorpions are wild-caught. Properly housed, they offer a long-lived, impressive glimpse into the desert’s hidden nocturnal world.
