The Asian forest scorpion is a large black scorpion that looks like the emperor, but is quicker to defend itself.
Keep the substrate moist but not wet, with good ventilation. Give several hides and a water dish.
It is hardy and easy to feed, and a good choice once you know you prefer to watch rather than handle.
