Welcome to The Scorpion Fauna. The goal of this web site is to provide modest advice to people who would like to study, keep and breed scorpions.

Care sheets of the species I have kept are described to help, if need be, the new owners of the species presented here.

From the tropical Heterometrus to the desertic Androctonus, from the European Buthus to the American Centruroides, from the harmless Euscorpius to the very venomous Tityus, or from the quite common Pandinus to the fairly rare Apistobuthus... more than 130 species are presented, among which scorpion keepers will be able to make a choice or get information on captive conditions.

Photos and information on biology, ethology and ecology of the species I have kept are also presented, and enthusiasts will be also able to find updated databases about scorpions literature and origins.

I hope this web site will be useful to the enthusiasts as much as the advice and help I got from Patrick Bultel, Gérard Dupré, Jan Ove Rein and Wilson Lourenço. I take this opportunity to thank them. Many thanks also to Cristina putting up with this strange passion...
