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".

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. It prefers to be under rocks or under some surface, where it can use the surface for cover. Fattail scorpions, as well as other scorpions, like to be near humans and in their households, hiding in dark corners and such. However, they mainly just prefer dry warm areas. It [[shelters]] in the day in [[burrows]] dug in the sand, but can also be found under loose [[stones]], [[logs]], [[rubble]], in between [[cracks]] or [[bricks]], and like said before, in [[houses]]. <ref> [http://www.arkive.org/arabian-fat-tailed-scorpion/androctonus-crassicauda/image-G54825.html Arabian fat-tailed scorpion fact file] "Arkive".
