25+ Hottentotta Scorpions for Sale from 10 Sellers

African and Asian buthids, slender, quick, and medically significant across most of the genus. H. hottentotta and H. trilineatus are common in the trade.

Small to moderate, often arboreal or crevice-dwelling rather than burrowing, and considerably more delicate than the heavy Asian forest species. Several are parthenogenetic, which means a single female can populate an enclosure without a male and does.

That parthenogenesis is the market fact. It makes captive production trivial once you have one animal, which keeps prices at the floor and makes any scarcity in this genus temporary. Whatever a Hottentotta species commands right now, it will not command in two years.
