In the deserts of the Middle East, the giant yellow Israeli scorpion is a ruthless hunter whose bite can bring on fever, convulsions, coma and, sometimes, heart failure in humans unlucky enough to run afoul of it.
But the same venom that has earned this 4-inch-long arthropod the name “deathstalker” may be the key to longer life for humans under attack from an even more insidious predator.
The unique properties of the giant yellow scorpion’s venom — particularly that one of its key proteins binds only to the receptor sites of cancerous cells — was first discovered in a microbiology lab at the University of Alabama.

 Ordering Info - Arachnoboards
I would strongly recommend that someone considering keeping this scorpion is very experienced in handling a quick and very venomous animal and would have the equipment to do so safely.
Although the keeping of hot scorpions is not out of the reach for most, let experience be your best teacher...experience that can only be garnered through the progression of moving up the ladder, so to say, from the less tempermental/harmful species to the agressive/potentially life-threatening ones.
My personal advice, stick to those dealers who are also experienced scorpion owners..."jobbers" who distribute such species are often quite lacking in determining the health and housing requirements of most scorpions....and most incorrectly identify the animals they offer for sale.
