AquaTerra-Life | European Wood Scorpion Terrarium Setup @AquaTerra-Life | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 4 minutes ago
I recently got a group of European wood scorpions of the genus Euscorpius, which I will keep in the shown tank. The terrarium measures 30 x 30 x 40 cm and I will keep 4 individuals in it.

General Information on the genus Euscorpius:
"Euscorpius is a genus of scorpions, commonly called small wood-scorpions. It presently contains 17 species and is the type genus of the family Euscorpiidae - long included in the Chactidae - and the subfamily Euscorpiinae.
The most common members belong to the E. carpathicus species complex, which makes up the subgenus Euscorpius. This group is widespread from North Africa and Spain to temperate Eurasia from England and northern France through the Czech Republic to Russia.
The species range in colour from yellow-brown to dark brown. Many are brown with yellow legs and stinger. The largest is E. italicus at 5 cm (2 in), and the smallest is E. germanus at 1.5 cm (0.6 in). The venom of Euscorpius species is generally very weak, with effects similar to a mosquito bite. Some smaller specimens may not even be able to puncture the human skin with their stings.
The genus is currently undergoing revision and the status of taxa is liable to change."
