🦂 Adult Scorpion Profile
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Size Range | 6–23 cm (2.5–9 inches), species-dependent |
| Age Range | Typically 1.5–3+ years at maturity |
| Lifespan | 3–8 years; some species exceed 10 years in captivity |
| Sexual Maturity | Fully mature; males often more slender with longer metasoma (tail) |
| Venom Potency | Fully developed; varies widely by species, from mild to medically significant |
Adults display species-specific traits in coloration, behavior, and venom chemistry. Some glow vividly under UV light due to the presence of fluorescent compounds in their exoskeleton.
