Buy subadult scorpion online
Absolutely, Everett. Subadult scorpions are in a transitional stage—past the fragile scorpling phase but not yet sexually mature. They’re ideal for keepers who want bold behavior, manageable size, and visible growth potential. Here’s a full breakdown tailored to your level:
🦂 Subadult Scorpion Profile
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Age Range | ~6 months to 2 years (species-dependent) |
| Size | 4–6 cm (1.5–2.5 inches); varies by species |
| Molting Stage | One molt away from adulthood (typically 5th or 6th instar) |
| Behavior | Active, feeding independently, and showing adult traits |
| Sexual Maturity | Not yet reached—though some species may mate pre-adult |
Subadults are visually distinct—often darker, more textured, and more confident than juveniles.

🏡 Enclosure Setup
- Tank Size: 5–10 gallons per individual
- Substrate: 3:1 mix of coco fiber and fine vermiculite or moist peat moss
- Temps:
- Ambient: 75–85°F (24–29°C)

- Humidity: 60–80% depending on species
- Hides: Cork bark, leaf litter, or textured rocks
- Lighting: No direct light; UV only for observation
Avoid water dishes deep enough for submersion—scorpions can drown easily.
🍽️ Diet & Feeding
- Feeding Frequency: Every 3–4 days
- Prey Items:
- Appropriately sized crickets (¼–½ inch)
- Small roaches, mealworms, or waxworms
- Feeding Tips:
- Prey should match the length of the scorpion’s head
- Remove uneaten prey to prevent stress or injury
Subadults show a 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 a soft brush or tweezers
They’re interactive in naturalistic setups, often seen burrowing, basking, or ambushing prey.

I visit often for live food and other bits I have over the last couple of months had a couple of lizards from here and they have always been in good health and the staff are always keen to pass on good information and always do a lot of checks where the animal will be housed and if not suitable have advised changes
