Hi guys, I picked up 5 or 6 C. hentzi (or at least I was told that's what they are, ya never know with craigslist/facebook) last week. They're absolutely crawling with mites so I'm planning to rehouse today.
I poked around the forum some but the care sheets and stickies seem to be geared toward different species. From what I've found they need vertical bark for hiding/molting, a shallow water dish and generally more heat/humidity than T's.
Can I use the same substrate (coco fiber) as I use with my tarantulas? If I let them dry out some to kill off the mites will that have any adverse effects on my scorps? Also, what feeders do you guys recommend? I dropped in some dubia nymphs which promptly disappeared (burrowed or eaten I guess) and some mealworms. I did see one munching on a mealworm that was pupating and haven't seen any cannibalization, do they scavenge? As far as water, has anyone tried the water crystals people use for crickets, and how did they work out?
Answers, advice and links to useful species-specific information are appreciated
