Centruroides exilicauda is found throughout Baja California and is native to the United States in three states, California, Arizona, and New Mexico. These scorpions would primarily be found outside during the night time due to them being nocturnal creatures. Centruroides are commonly found burrowed or hidden under rock, bark, or natural caves in the earth. Scorpions have been known to find their way inside of residential houses but this is uncommon and rare due to the Centruroides having poor eyesight. While the Baja California bark scorpion is harder, but not impossible, to come by as a pet, there a many other species of the Centruroides that are commonly available as pets.
