The Hadrurus arizonensis, commonly known as the Desert Hairy Scorpion, is the largest scorpion species in North America. Native to the arid regions of the southwestern U.S., this rugged species is known for its fuzzy exoskeleton, burrowing behavior, and striking yellow-and-brown coloration.

 

This listing is for unsexed subadult to adult specimens, perfect for hobbyists who want a hardy, active desert species. While their venom is mild, H. arizonensis can be defensive and will readily posture or strike when threatened. They thrive in dry, well-ventilated enclosures with plenty of substrate for digging.
