Favorite scorpion enclosures

[Extensionofgreen]

Found these, but there're ones out there that have a clear lid, without the distracting adornment around the edge.

And a smaller option:

This looks golden!

Those are great!
I buy those from a vendor locally, $2 each my cost, others pay $4.75 per.
Not enough depth for the Heterometrus species, but the Pandinus call them "home".

@ArachnoDrew who is that small and lovely on your avatar? I NEED one!

 

[ArachnoDrew]

That would be my Favorite little girl in my collection Uroplectes Chubbi... I was very lucky in being able to obtain her... she's mature female, tiny but amazing looking

 

[Extensionofgreen]

She is AMAZING. So, these are exceedingly rare? Are they virtually unobtainable?

I would consider them rare. I believe @gromgrom has worked with them and @Scorpionluva is trying to breed but is stuck with a few females and no males to breed

I Would imagine the only other way would be to find a good uroplectes breeder over seas and order direct

I only keep a few, so I use terrariums. I'll take a couple new pics. My Androctonus Amoreuxi is on my dresser. She's a female, just molted to 8i after our move a couple weeks ago. My Androctonus Australis Hector is on the bottom of my bookshelf. He's looking good and plump again, getting ready to molt to 6i.

I get my deli cups from LLL reptile. vista pet supply is the wholesale side if you qualify.

I use Sterilite shoe boxes for each of my scorpions. I got each of them for $1 at Home Depot (though they aren't selling them at my local one anymore ). They are big enough for my scorpions to live in for their entire lives and can be used as breeding boxes too. Would love to start getting more delicups too. I practically use any container I can find at this point lol! My H.arizonensis is in a glass enclosure so she's pretty much my only display xD

I don't trust those kids on the $1 plastic shoe boxes at Home Depot. I think I hit pay dirt with the breeder boxes and the round display containers.

So far, I'm leaning towards stocking up on 5,10, and 20 gallon long aquariums, next $1 per gallon sale I find.

In the Petco dollar per gallon sales, the 5 1/2 gallon tanks aren't included in the sale. 10 gallon, 20 Gallon (Long and High), and 29 gallons are the only ones. The 40 breeders and 55 gallon tanks are 50% off, as are 75 gallons in participating stores. Next one starts on July 9th and runs through August 19th.

 

[Extensionofgreen]

Thanks for that!

They are cheap, have a nice size, and get the job done. I don't see much of a problem with that Especially when I'm really the only one in the house who actually cares about the inverts so I'm the only one who actually bothers to look at them. No need for a display in my case. The base is see-through so I like to grab my flashlight at night and look at my little scorpions running around.

It was supposed to say LIDS, not kids. They aren't snug enough for me to keep Tityus, Androctonus, Parabuthus, or anything else I might acquire with stronger than bee sting venom and/or a flattened body and arboreal lifestyle.
