The fattail scorpion finds its home in the desert or the semi-desert areas found in northern Africa and the Middle East. However, they can be found all the way from Mauritania to India, from Turkey to Togo. They can make their home mostly in the areas of the Arabian and Sahara deserts. A warm climate is good for them, but considerng they are from the desert, temperature drops do not disturb them, as the desert ranges from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night. <ref> [http://lllreptile.com/info/library/animal-care-sheets/invertebrates/-/fat-tail-scorpions/ Fattail scorpion Natural History] "LLL Reptile".

These areas often have many flat, dry rocks for the scorpions to use as cover.

The temperature of all these climates ranges from around 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Rain is very low in these areas, which is good for the fattail scorpion. | |||
