Pandinus imperator (Emperor Scorpion) ~ Subadult/Adult Unsexed

The legendary Pandinus imperator, or Emperor Scorpion, is one of the most iconic invertebrates in the hobby. With its massive black claws, glossy exoskeleton, and calm temperament, the Emperor Scorpion is a favorite among beginners and seasoned collectors alike.

This listing is for a subadult to adult unsexed specimen. Emperor Scorpions are known for their relatively docile behavior, especially compared to other large scorpions. While they may posture defensively, they rarely sting and instead rely on their powerful pincers when disturbed. These scorpions thrive in warm, humid environments with deep substrate and plenty of cover.
