I've been out there a bunch and luckily never saw a scorpion but I've seen em in Arizona.
Never seen one of them big spiders neither, that's good 'cause I don't like spiders.
If ya see a desert tortoise leave it alone, don't touch. Lots of laws protecting them.

I've seen several mohave greens, they story goes that they are more aggressive than most snattle-rakes.
I've also eaten a mohave green. Sidewinder too.
Didn't taste like chicken.

I don't know if this applies to Baker's acres, but at one time further south around Johnson valley or yucca there were folks held up in old shacks and were cooking some strange chemicals if ya know what i mean. Stuff they didn't want anyone to know about.
Steer clear, they don't like company.
Prolly not an issue where you are going, they are few and far between.
But when i went out east of Johnson valley or soggy dry lake I usually carried a sidearm.
Never needed it but it kept me warm and fuzzy.

Funny how deserts folks can be the most helpful and friendly people, or the most private and honery.
