Buy juvenile scorpion online.
Juvenile scorpions—typically in their 2nd to 4th instar stages—are past the scorpling phase but not yet subadult. They’re small, active, and beginning to show species-specific traits like coloration, behavior, and venom potency. Here’s a full breakdown tailored to your level:
🦂 Juvenile Scorpion Profile
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Size | ~2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 inches), species-dependent |
| Age Range | ~2–6 months |
| Molting Stage | Usually 2nd to 4th instar |
| Behavior | Independent hunters, nocturnal, highly responsive |
| Venom | Functional and species-specific; juveniles may inject full doses due to limited control |
They’re visually distinct from scorplings—darker, more textured, and more mobile.
🧬 Species Examples in Juvenile Phase
- Emperor Scorpion (Pandinus imperator)**
- Juveniles show glossy black or brown shells
- Mild venom, highly manageable
- Popular in educational setups
- Asian Forest Scorpion (Heterometrus spinifer)**
- Defensive and bold even as juveniles
- Jet black with wide pedipalps
- Thrive in humid, tropical setups
- Arizona Bark Scorpion (Centruroides sculpturatus)**
- Pale tan juveniles with potent neurotoxic venom
- Not recommended for beginners
🏡 Enclosure Setup
- Container: 5–10 gallon tank or micro-enclosure
- Substrate: Moist coco fiber or peat moss, 2–3 inches deep
- Temps: 75–85°F (24–29°C)
- Humidity: 60–80%, species-dependent
- Hides: Bark chips, leaf litter, cork rounds
- Lighting: No direct light; ambient or red-spectrum preferred
Juveniles are burrowers and ambush predators, so naturalistic setups improve behavior and feeding.
🍽️ Diet & Feeding
- Feeding Frequency: Every 3–4 days
- Prey Items:
- Small crickets, roaches, mealworms
- Prey size should match the scorpion’s body length
- Feeding Tips:
- Remove uneaten prey to prevent stress
- Mist lightly to aid hydration
Juveniles show strong feeding response and begin developing hunting routines.
🧠 Behavior & Temperament
- Nocturnal: Most active at night
- Defensive or shy: Depends on species
- Handling: Avoid direct contact—use soft brush or tweezers
They’re interactive in naturalistic setups, often seen burrowing, basking, or ambushing prey.

All standard livefood deliveries can take 1-2 working days after ordering as stated on our order pages. These will be ordered into stock specially for you and then dispatched at the first opportunity; this is to ensure they are as fresh as possible prior to you receiving them. Depending what time your order was placed, it can sometimes miss the cut off for ordering and we will add it to the next delivery to us.
