Interesting middle eastern Scorpion with irregularly large claws. This species is found in both deserts and dry forest habitats where it lives in burrows. They need to be kept on a deepish substrate and need a little more moisture than most other desert species but not to much. Sometimes referred to as the Large Claw Scorpion.
