Babs, that's a "Brown Hairy","Arizona Brown Hairy","Giant Desert Hairy", or "Mexican Brown Hairy" scorpion.(all different names for the same [Hadrurus arizonensis]arachnid) I had one that I caught in Arizona and I LOVED him. They are a little tricky to care for in SD as they require a DRY climate. A ten gallon terrarium with a red light and silica sand will do the job, as long as you keep it covered. My wife put mine outside for a couple of days while I was out of town and the humidity killed him. The Brown Hairy Scorpion is the largest scorpion in North America. |
