Matt Black Scorpion — a striking, dark-coloured species ideal for experienced keepers. Chaerlius variegatus displays the characteristic matte black colouration that makes this scorpion visually distinctive in any collection. This species thrives in warm, humid conditions. Provide a spacious enclosure with deep substrate for burrowing, hiding spots, and stable temperatures between 24–28°C. Feed appropriately-sized insects such as crickets and roaches.
