Help and advice on shopping for: Scorpions for sale

An adoption challenge

Scorpions are feisty pets, exhibit many interesting behaviours and abilities. Generally speaking, Scorpions can be quite defensive and don’t really show much affection, however, the way they move and hunt prey can be fascinating to pet lovers.

What are Scorpions?

Scorpions are a group of arachnids that are easily identifiable thanks to their iconic claws and stinger. There are over 2,000 species of Scorpion on Earth and they can be found on almost every continent, although they are unable to survive in cold climates. Scorpions are naturally defensive and shouldn’t be handled but they are fun to watch, especially when they are hunting live food.

Why should I buy a Scorpion?

The main reason to buy a Scorpion is to watch a powerful and interesting pet as it hunts and skitters around your enclosure. Most Scorpions are pretty easy to care for and are relatively inexpensive. While there are Scorpions that are dangerous to humans, those examples cannot be kept as pets in the UK without a license, and the Scorpions that can be kept without this can do nothing more than a mild bee sting.

What are the main types of Scorpion?

While there are thousands of Scorpions in the world, only a few species make good pets. At Swell Reptiles, we rotate our scorpions that are up for adoption which means that the only way to know which are available from our store is to check this page.
