Hey Wuts up everybody?
I have a
quick question?

Many times i have cleaned my scorpion cages
and removed dead cricket carcass!
Every time i cleaned the glass aqaurium bleach was used!

I also brushed the scorpions with a toothbrush in a attempt to remove any mites from the exo skel?
i.ve tried potting soil ive tried jungle substrate(bark etc...)
the humidty is up and down from 60% to 80% around 28c
And cant seem to get rid of those damm mites

any help........this is really starting to get bothersome

Dude Bleach well cause harm to your invertseven in small ammounts id would seriously adive u dont use it

Put a megameter pulse across the substrate or microwave the whole lot (minus the scorp) replacing the substrate doesnt seem to work the bastards always seem to come back

I found the megameter(insolation tester) method most affective just damp the substrate down a little so it conducts the voltage properly an thoughs lil mites will be toast
