Description

The Flinders Ranges Scorpion Large (Urodacus elongatus) is an impressive Australian scorpion and a fascinating addition for invertebrate enthusiasts. With its robust appearance, prominent pincers and unmistakable scorpion profile, this native species makes an excellent display animal for keepers interested in Australian arachnids.

Scorpions are primarily nocturnal, spending much of the day concealed beneath rocks, bark or within retreats before becoming more active after dark. A naturalistic enclosure provides an excellent opportunity to observe these behaviours while creating an attractive display.

Key Features

  • Large Australian scorpion
  • Impressive size and robust appearance
  • Fascinating nocturnal behaviour
  • Excellent display invertebrate
  • Australian native
  • Relatively low space requirements
  • Best kept in a secure, naturalistic enclosure
  • Suitable for experienced invertebrate keepers

Housing

A secure and appropriately ventilated enclosure should be provided. The enclosure should include sufficient substrate along with sheltered areas that allow the scorpion to retreat and display natural behaviours.

Suitable enclosure furnishings may include:

  • Suitable natural substrate
  • Cork bark
  • Rocks and secure hides
  • Leaf litter
  • Natural décor
  • Shallow water source where appropriate

Any rocks or heavy decorations should be positioned securely so they cannot collapse if the scorpion burrows underneath them.

Feeding

Flinders Ranges Scorpions are predatory and can be offered appropriately sized live feeder insects.

Suitable foods include:

  • Crickets
  • Wood roaches
  • Other appropriately sized feeder insects

Feeding frequency and prey size should be adjusted according to the size and condition of the individual scorpion. Uneaten prey should be removed when necessary.

Handling

Routine handling of scorpions is not recommended. They are best maintained as display animals and observed within their enclosure.

Care should be taken whenever the enclosure is opened for feeding, cleaning or maintenance. A secure enclosure is essential to prevent accidental escape.

Who Is the Flinders Ranges Scorpion Best Suited For?

The Flinders Ranges Scorpion is a great choice for invertebrate enthusiasts looking for an impressive Australian native scorpion to keep and observe.

Its relatively small enclosure requirements also make it an interesting alternative for experienced keepers who may not have the space required for larger reptiles or other exotic pets.
