This girl scorp just died and with her being my first, I decided to preserve her as a wet sample (I understand pinning may have been better but I have no access to pins and zero experience so I took the faster, easier route) I want to print out her information on the top the jar, but I don't...

Forgot to add, my enclosure is big enough (70×30×30cm) that there is a comfortable heat gradient between the two sides. The scorp is not being exposed to a uniform high temperature. However, I've never seen her use the hide on the cooler side but then again, I've only started using the heat mat...

I've read that they should be kept at 75° - 90° F (23°-32°C) but living in a tropical country, room temperature is usually at 90°F (low to mid 30°c) anyway. I have a heat mat on the side of the enclosure that at max brings the temps to around 95°F (35°C). Temperatures outside are around this...

Yeah I know it was a bad idea and I'm trying to make it up to her now. Thanks for the advice on temps and heat mat placement

So basically, I have an old kitchen thermometer lying around and I've ordered a heat mat online for my scorp. I've kept her in an unheated enclosure because I was skeptical at first whether or not she will survive the first months after being taken from the wild. Here are photos of the...

I have transferred all of them to a separate enclosure. However, I have noticed one baby scorp that has been canibalized by the other babies. I suspect it was already weak to begin with. How do I minimize the risk for this?

Thanks! In recent development, I can see them hiding in the roots of my live plant, which is on a pot that I buried under the substrate. My plan is to take it out and hopefully the baby scorps with it. Wish me luck

My baby Heterometros S. scorps just got off their mother's back yesterday. I am unsure of how to handle them without hurting them so I have not yet transferred them to a different enclosure. I have fed the mother to avoid her getting hungry and turning on her babies as soon as I noticed the...

Thanks! I don't have crickets since all the petstores in my area only sell superworms. Can I feed that to the mother? I'm thinking of cutting the worm into smaller pieces and feed that to the babies when they get off their mother's back. Is that okay? When you mentioned crushed cricks, I...

First of all.. wow I was not expecting this at all. I caught my scorp about a month ago on a camping trip and decided to keep it in a tank. Fast forward to today, I woke up to find a mass of white critters crawling all over her body and upon closer inspection... yep. Baby scorps. Help me...

Hey all. Since being captured around 3 to 4 weeks ago, I have only ever fed my scorp once... That was almost 2 weeks ago. I've tried feeding it superworms (which was what I fed him with the first time) but he seems to be running away or just uninterested. Is there a specific way I should be...

Hey all, I've been keeping an asian forest scorpion for about 2-3 weeks. He is not quite an adult yet and his telsons are still white. Anyway, my mother complained about hearing cricket-like noises but since I don't keep crickets because I feed my scorp mealworms, she insists that the noise...

Hey all. Would it be fine if I use a green transluscent plastic dome as a hideout? If not, what other options are there that would look visually appealing since I keep my scorp's enclosure in the living room? Thanks!

Thank you for the information! I really appreciate it guys

Thanks for the replies. My local pet stores do have superworms available but I've read somewhere in this forum that those are fatty and should mostly be used as treats. Is it okay to make it a staple?

Hey all. So I caught a scorpion in the wild which I believe to be the black asian forest scorpion variety. I have set up a terrarium to the best of my resources for him/her (I don't know yet) but I can't for the life of me find any pet supplies store that sells crickets or roaches. I haven't fed...
