    Newb scorpion questions

    Great job on your tank. Looks fantastic. A little large for that C hentzi though. You could always fill it with more scorps.

    Problem with Emps?

    You should ditch the heatrock. The heatlamp you are using will work just fine. I cant tell what you are using for substrate. Peat works well and is cheap. Just make sure that the peat you get has no additives like pesticides or fertilizer. Could you show a picture of your setup...

    What is best for cleaning the glass of your enclosure?

    I just use dish soap for my tank. I just make sure it rinses clean. No water spots heh. I forgot two mention that I have multiple tanks. I usually like to have a fresh tank prepared and then I just transfer the scorps over to the new tank.That allows me to clean out the old tank at my...

    Why infrared?

    Adding more soil will make heating the tank up easier. There will be less space to heat. I think I recall that you had your lamp on the side of your tank. If you could move it directly above it would probably work much better. Im not sure what kind of lid you have on your tank but I use a...

    heat mats

    I am not a big fan of putting heatmats on the side of the tank. I can never raise the ambient temp of the tank. However I still dont put them under either. Red bulb has always worked best for me. Can anyone honestly say that they have cooked a scorp by putting the heatmat under the tank. I...

    Yess Finally , Tanks!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!11

    You never know until you ask. Emps will do just fine. Just do some research before you take on a big project like that. Dont be afraid to ask questions. There is a wealth of information on boards like these. Take advantage of it.

    Why infrared?

    Red light does affect the eye differently. Your pupils will not contract as with regular light. I used to drive a truck and we had red overhead lights in the cab for night-driving. That way it doesnt affect your night vision. As for infra-red im not sure how that works. Anyhow the light...

    Question about P. imp behaviour

    When my emp was about to pop I noticed the same behavior.My female stayed firmly entrenched in her newly excavated burrow until i noticed all the youngins. They were previously content to just chill under their hide. I also noticed that my little emp was much more touchy than usual and...

    would a scorpion drink this stuff?(JuarassiQuench)

    I believe you have the wrong product. The right one is called SCORP QUENCH. It replaces the electrolytes lost during intense burrowing and extended foraging. Just messin with ya jungle guts. I wouldnt pay for it but if you try it and it works let us know. Experimintation has led to...
