Pandinus imperator

Emperor Scorpion

These are HUGE behemoths that are some of the largest that I’ve seen. The Emperor Scorpion is a very large, impressive, and hardy scorpion from tropical Africa. Wild-caught specimens are usually collected in Togo and Ghana. These are considered the best pet scorpion with their large size and mild venom, but tend to pinch with their massive claws. Warm and humid conditions are mandatory, and can usually be kept in a social group.
