- Also known as Parabuthus raudus "Light".
- This Old World Fossorial scorpion is from Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
- In the wild, they tend to inhabit hard-packed sandy and gritty soil where they make burrows at the bases of shrubs or grass tufts, or under logs and stones.
- Often said to be the most medically significant scorpion species in South Africa.  They also are reported to have the ability to "spray" venom.  Obviously, they are for experienced keepers.
- Adult size is NORMALLY 3.15" - 4.72", but they CAN reach up to 6".
- Males stay smaller and are less bulky than the females.  Adult males possess thicker, bulkier chelae than females.  The sexes can easily be distinguished by the proximal median lamellae (PML), an enlarged lamella on the inner side of the pectines. Males don't show those proximal median lamellae, whereas females have them.
- When setting up your habitat, if you desire to have them start to dig a burrow in a certain location, make the substrate moist.  ​When the opportunity is present, P. raudus will dig at moist spots.
