The Emperor Scorpion is a very large and hardy scorpion from tropical Africa. Handling these scorpions is not suggested because they do sting. The sting of this scorpion is not harmful to humans except if you are allergic. Do not put two scorpions in the same tank because it is possible that the weaker of the two may be eaten by the other. It is important to keep your scorpion away from direct UV light. Range
