Invertebrate - West African Tailless Whip Scorpion - Damon medius

West African Tailless Whip Scorpion (Damon medius) — a fascinating arachnid prized by experienced invertebrate keepers. These nocturnal hunters thrive in warm, humid environments with temperatures between 75–85°F and moderate moisture levels. They require a secure enclosure with hiding spots, as they are fast and can be defensive when threatened. Damon medius are solitary and should be housed individually. Feed appropriately-sized insects such as crickets, and roaches. They are long-lived, often reaching 5+ years in captivity with proper care. Handle minimally — they do not have venom but can deliver a painful bite. Ideal for keepers with invertebrate experience who can provide consistent warmth, humidity, and live prey.
