One of the most impressive species of scorpion reaching an adult size of **0mm (6 inches) excluding the claws, males measuring slightly less. This species is black all over the body with only the membrane being a grey colour, this is very noticeable in heavily pregnant females. The large claws measuring *5x*5mm are used for catching and hold prey. The sting measures *0mm, but is rarely used unless a female is pregnant or has young ok .

If you have access to a black light, place your scorpion under it, they go a lovely green/blue colour. The light will not harm your scorpion in anyway as they cannot see it.
