Hello I am wondering is this tank suitable housing 1 adult desert scorpion? And would calcium sand be a suitable choice of sub? If not what would be a best choice. Its my first desert species.

No. Calcium sand will ensure its demise.

Hadrurus arizonensis requires a substrate that is 70 / 30 sand / excavator clay as they are obligate borrowers. They also need several inches minimum.
