Search by Species Name
Use the search bar to look for a scorpion by its Latin name, common name, or part of the name. For example, typing “Emperor”, “Pandinus”, or “Pandinus imperator” will help bring up the Emperor Scorpion.
This is ideal if you already know the species you are looking for and want to go directly to its care and information page.
Use the Filters to Browse Species
The filters allow you to narrow the database based on key traits, including:
-
Lifestyle – terrestrial, arboreal or semi-arboreal species
-
Size – from small species to extra-large scorpions
-
Region – where the species is naturally found
-
Communal Rating – how tolerant the species may be with others
-
Difficulty – how suitable the species is for beginners or experienced keepers
You can use one filter on its own or combine multiple filters to refine your results. For example, you can search for large, terrestrial, beginner-friendly scorpions from Asia.
