Whats a large scorpion that likes a dry climate?

[Venomgland]

Title says it all..

For scorps that are not “hot” I would recommend H. arizonises, and Opistophthalmus glabifrons.

 

[Galapoheros]

Yeah or a Hadogenes sps. H. arizonensis are one of my favs, I would be paying up big $ for them if I lived in another country they aren't native to. The Pandinus from East Africa kind of like it on the dry side.

 

[Venomgland]

I like the Opistophthalmus glabifron, but its common name has burrowing in it. Is there one that will be more out in the open?

 

[Venomgland]

I'm not to worried about "hot" either. I keep copperheads and pygmy rattlesnakes. I understand the risks.

 

[RTTB]

Smeringerus vachoni and Smeringerus vachoni immanis can get good size. Same with S mesaensis.
Big buthids I would differ to the experts here on AB .

Hadrurus arizonensis

I agree, my desert hairy is almost as big as my AFS.

 

[Venomgland]

Is there one that is more out and about then others?

I say, if you want an impressive scorp, get a Hadogenes species. They may not be the girthiest, but Hadogenes troglodytes is the longest scorpion species out there. Given, they don't eat much, but mine are out fairly often. They are just impressive. I also love H. arizonensis, those two are probably the biggest "dry climate" scorps. I believe P. tranvaalicus gets pretty big as a buthid, but even that is pretty small.

P. Villosus gets pretty big too.

Yes.

Hadrurus arizonensis

It sounds like this will be my next scorpion
