    • Physical

      Paravaejovis puritanus is a small to medium-sized scorpion, with adults reaching a leg span of approximately 6-7 cm. They possess a characteristic striping pattern on their metasoma (tail), which aids in identification.

    • Venom

      While all scorpions possess venom, the sting of Paravaejovis puritanus is generally considered non-lethal to humans. However, stings can cause pain and discomfort, and individuals with allergies or sensitivities should exercise caution.

    • Care

      Paravaejovis puritanus is sometimes kept in captivity. They are relatively easy to care for, requiring a dry environment with substrates like sand or dry soil. Providing hiding spots, such as pieces of bark or wood, is essential to mimic their natural habitat. They are known to be active and can detect prey from a distance by sensing ground vibrations.
