Captive scorpions generally live about 8 years, with the exact lifespan depending on environmental conditions and care. Scorpions like moisture but fear dryness and strong light, so the owner should provide a comfortable living environment for normal growth.
Their growth and reproduction are affected by temperature; the ideal range is 25 to 39C. At 35 to 39C scorpions are active and grow relatively fast.
