Description
This very rare scorpion (in the hobby) is found exclusively in the hills around Perth, WA. They live underneath rocks and are quite similar in most respects to Urodacus manicatus however they are much larger when mature, with males reaching double the size of U. manicatus. This species is very calm and easy to handle, with weak venom. They are also easy to care for, adults should be given a large enclosure with fairly deep substrate and rock hides but juveniles can be maintained and raised in a small container with substrate (60% coco-peat, and the remainder sand or clay) and optionally a bark hide. Older juveniles have a beautiful matte grey-green appearance which is difficult to reproduce in photographs. Adult females are similar in appearance to Urodacus novaehollandiae, with similar proportions to them but they are lighter in colour and matte instead of glossy.
Sold as 2nd instar babies

Super hardy and impressive species! Have had it for a few months now and it’s doing well. Molted once and looks like it’s getting ready to molt again soon. A bit more defensive than my other scorpions but I don’t mind it!
