Brazilian Yellow Scorpion
Tityus serrulatus
The Brazilian yellow scorpion has yellow legs and tail, a darker trunk and small saw-like ridges on the rear tail segments. Native to Brazil, it adapts well to disturbed habitats and buildings. It belongs only in specialist facilities with strict escape prevention, secure refuges, substrate and water.
Its medically significant venom can cause severe illness, especially in children, so it must never be handled. Many populations reproduce without males. Females bear live young, initially carried on the mother's back.
