Can you clean out a scorpion substrate without having to move him

[Deb60]

I have a full grown Asian Forrest Scorpion, whom I’ve had two months now. Do I need to change all the substrate every so often ,or just spot clean as you go . It’s confusing as I’ve been told two or three different things ?

Spot cleaning is all that’s necessary. What type of substrate are you using if you don’t mind be asking? If you ever do take all the substrate out you do in most cases have to Take the Scorp out but spot cleaning is all that’s necessary.

I’ve used Habistat Sledge Peat , and I’ve also added some moss .

Nope , I have a number of Ts , so no not to do that . Just a shallow water bowl , and I keep it damp in that area as you would for my Ts . My set up is on top of my viv where my beaded dragon is , so my scorp gets some heat from that .
