Quick answer: Asian forest scorpion is a variety of scorpions. Everything on this page is scorpions-level guidance — we do not invent variety-specific numbers.
The care below is scorpions-level guidance from our species hub, sourced to Merck Veterinary Manual — Exotic & Laboratory Animals and RSPCA — Invertebrates. It applies to Asian forest scorpion exactly as it applies to every other scorpions variety. We do not publish variety-specific temperament, lifespan or weight numbers that we cannot source.
Heat and the molting danger
Tropical scorpions want 75–85°F (24–29°C) with a slight gradient; under-tank heat helps. Like tarantulas, they molt — a white "pre-molt" look means leave them alone and boost humidity. Do not feed a molting scorpion; remove tankmates (they can be cannibalistic, especially during molt). A failed molt is fatal.
Feeding and safety
Feed live crickets, roaches, or mealworms every 1–2 weeks; adults can go longer between meals. Remove leftovers. NEVER handle a scorpion with bare hands — use long tongs or a cup, and know first-aid for your species' sting. Keep species separated. Children and the medically dangerous species do not mix; choose an emperor for a family display.
