They originate from Africa. This is the most common scorpion specie which is being kept as pets. Their venom is very mild, approximately similar to that of a bee sting. Though they are generally very tame, at times can give a very strong pinch with their claws but generally do not draw blood. If a black light is shined over them at night time, they will glow a florescent green color. But take care not to do this too often, as the florescent light tends to kill them with in a month or so if kept on at least a few hours a day.

Diet: Crickets, Butter Worms, and other grubs.
