Please identify my scorp

I just Found this dude in my back yard so as He is still small I kept him and want to take care of him. I am from Croatia so I guess it is some kind of Mediteraneean scorpion.



Thx

Read up on the forum mate. I believe DolbyR has quite some knowledge about these.

Looks like a little Euscorpius of some sort....

Yes I think it is Euroscorpius.

What do you suggest for feeding him as he is really small (1 cm in length) and my local pet shops dont have flies and baby crickets, only meal worms.

hmm do you have any creepy crawlies around the house euscorps tend to love isopods they eat maily woodlouse here in the uk

Hm nice advice, I can find plenty of woodlouse, they just need to be small enough.

Another q, in what intervals do you feed your scorpions? How do I know when he is hungry?

i chuck one in once a week or if they are having a good wonder around i tweezer feed if they grab it they are hungry if not puit it back

Ok thx.

What do you use for keeping humidity in your terarium (spray water particles or water the substrate) and what % of it should be dry.

I just spray corner once a week

99% it's an euscorpius, several species have been reported in Croatia though and they look pretty similar. Can you get a better *close-up* picture?

Sure I try it with my SLR tonight!

...... we're waiting is it italicus?

Hi people, sry for late reply. This is the best I could workout with my macro skills considering he is 1 cm in length




Hope it helps. I am also considering changing the substrate from sand to some kind of earth.

naaaah.. it's way to light to be a flavicaudis.. well that's my opinion. it might just be dusty
E. sicanus maybe? looks more like that than a flav

wasnt saying that lol it has examples of the differences i deffo know its not flavicaudis obviously lol or i would have said straight away...

oh right lol.
it really could be any one of the numerous species of Euscorpius..
i guess where they are from will influence colour a lot.

also the younger ones (whoch that looks juvi deffinatly) tend to have a dif colour to the adults

It looks E. flavicaudis to me
