Hoffmannihadrurus aztecus
Hoffmannihadrurus • Hadruridae
A Mexican giant hairy scorpion, less common in the hobby than its US relatives. Species-specific husbandry is thin, so this follows the well-established giant-hairy (Hadrurus) genus care: deep, dry substrate to burrow, warmth, low humidity, strong ventilation, and a small water dish. Defensive and nervous — best not handled. Venom is mild, painful but not dangerous.
