Bark scorpion enclosure

[KevinsWither]

I am doing a behavior experiment on the effects of temperature on bark scorpion behavior. How many can be housed in a 10 gallon aquarium?

Depending on the species, you could probably get 50-100 in there successfully.

Yeah you can have a lot in a 10 gallon. Curious as to what your experiment entails? They are a very weather tolerant species that experience very high and low temps including snow in parts of there range.

What species? I say Centruroides vittatus have the most variable in temps. From freezing in Colorado to 100+ in Texas and in some states they can experience that throughout the year

I was assuming vittatus but sculpturatus are pretty damn weather tolerant too.

It's probably gonna be with the arizona bark scorpion.

Not exactly, that's a bit of an oversimplification. I'm gonna test there behavior at certain temperatures. Like with movement or certain activity etc.
