Hero HQ, tanks for Rainforest Scorpions (Liocheles waigiensis)

Soil base with a couple of rocks and bits of bark, and a desert painting backdrop. The retreats for the scorpions are depressions under sheets of glass, with little blue lights to show them up. I saw one scorpion but in a position which did not enable a proper photo.

August 2013

EDIT: I originally had this photo labelled as being Desert Scorpions (Urodacus yaschenkoi), due to the tanks and artworks surrounding the tanks all depicting desert environments and the labelling simply saying scorpion (in point of fact, the word scorpion is only used once in the entire informational text!). But I found out later they are actually Rainforest Scorpions.
