Leiurus quinquestriatus
Deathstalker
One of the top two most dangerous scorpions, along with Androctonus australis. It has been studied that A. australis has a higher venom yield, but the Deathstalker’s venom is more potent. Regardless, this is not the time to be experimenting. Keep these dry, with enough substrate to dig out a scrape to hide in. The Deathstalker is a bright and attractive species, with a relatively thin tail, which is unusual for venomous scorpions. Make sure it's in a container that it can't escape from, and never lose respect for the animal when you're dealing with it. The worse part is that if it kills you, I lose a customer.
