Description
Scientific Name: Paravaejovis confucus
A near relative of P. spinigerus is Paravaejovis confucus, often called the Coahuila devil scorpion. Although it is not as well-known as its sibling. In Arizona’s deserts, Yellow Ground Scorpions (Paravaejovis confusus), sometimes known as Coahuila Devil Scorpions, are less prevalent. Although poisonous, these are not deadly to persons with normal sensitivities. Similar to a bee sting, stings can be painful. Up to 3″ in length, this little, yellowish scorpion can be found.
Behavior
P. confucus is a beginner-friendly scorpion that is extremely docile, much like P. spinigerus.
As Pet
If properly cared for, it can survive in captivity for seven years. They also don’t stay in the burrow as long as their siblings do. However, maintaining them in a shared tank is more difficult.
Mostly consumes crickets, mealworms, roaches, and other tiny invertebrates, such as fellow scorpions.
