Slender Asian bark scorpions, long-tailed and marbled, with the buthid family's standing rule attached: venom above the size class, respect regardless of the delicate build.
They climb and tuck into bark, making the lid the enclosure, and keep in warm, sheltered setups with cover. Sealed housing and forceps maintenance are the protocol. The pantropical member of the genus has spread worldwide by shipping and reproduces readily, which keeps that species permanently available and permanently inexpensive.
Asian supply arrives in small pulses with soft identification, and the genus trades at the affordable end of the medically meaningful shelf, the recurring combination that catches casual buyers. The elongated tail photographs as elegance; the family it belongs to is the actual information.
