Bark Scorpion | Reddyanus petrzelkai

Plan the habitat for the adult animal, with secure housing and room to carry out its natural behaviour.

At a Glance

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions are length × depth × height unless stated otherwise. Plan for the adult animal; larger, suitably furnished housing is encouraged.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Do not handle. All scorpions are venomous; a calm appearance does not make handling safe. Use secure containers and suitable maintenance tools.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer appropriately sized live insects around weekly for adults, adjusting to condition and appetite. Smaller juveniles need smaller prey. Remove uneaten insects, particularly around moulting, and keep a shallow water dish available.

Routine Care

Check food, water or drinking droplets, ventilation and substrate moisture regularly. Remove waste and spoiled food promptly; avoid disturbing animals during moulting. Keep doors and ventilation gaps secure.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the precise species, adult size and moisture requirements. Specialist handling and a secure enclosure are essential.

Live Animals Are Click & Collect Only
