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. The fattail scorpion makes its home in a rocky, hot and arid area, like the desert. These areas often have many flat, dry rocks for the scorpions to use as cover. While in these habitats, the scorpions feed mainly off of cockroaches and other species that use human dwellings for homes. <ref> [http://lllreptile.com/info/library/animal-care-sheets/invertebrates/-/fat-tail-scorpions/ Fattail scorpion Natural History] "LLL Reptile".
