Found throughout tropical regions of Africa, the Emperor
Scorpion is one of the largest in the scorpion family. A
predatory carnivore their diet ranges from insects to small
mammals. In captivity we feed them live crickets, meal worms or
morio worms about once a week. - Live up to 8 years. - With an
exoskeleton which they molt once a year to enable growth. -
Adult scorpions can grow to 15 centimetres in across. - Habitat
being rain forest floor. - Nocturnal arachnids. Although it may
look very dangerous, generally speaking the larger scorpions
tend to be less poisonous than the smaller ones. Although it
would still be painful if we were to get stung, it would not be
life threatening.
