@brolloks Thank you!, yes the LED light is on a timer, the IR Lamp and Black light are on independent switchesBeautiful looking enclosure you have there. Do you have the light on a timer?
@NoLimits8 Thank you too!, Its about 30% Clay and the rest was a mix of White Chihuahuan Desert Sand with gravel/stones etcWow beautiful job, what ratio of clay/sand did you use?
A masterpiece! why thank you! I agree about the ratio of well done desert vivs vs tropical!It's always refreshing to see a desert masterpiece. Nice tropical vivs are a dime a dozen but very well done desert ones are a lot rarer. Good job.
I live where these guys are from and your creation looks like a piece of somewhere I've walked through before.A masterpiece! why thank you! I agree about the ratio of well done desert vivs vs tropical!
Ill post some pics up later of the tunnels that these guys have created! I wish I had 6ft depth substrate to see them carry on!
I must admit after doing this vivarium, I am seriously tempted to do a larger one, like triple if not quadruple the sizeI live where these guys are from and your creation looks like a piece of somewhere I've walked through before.
Hmmmm... *imagines an 6'+ H. arizonensis enclosure*
@DreamWeaver8 50cm x 30cm x 30cm and there are 2 H. Arizonensis living in there in quite a complex of caves and tunnels. Im lucky that both my scorpions are very active and out on display regularly.What are the dimensions of the enclosure you are using and do you have multiple H. arizonensis in there? I'm curious because after seeing this and the fact that the desert hairy is my favorite species I've become determined to build a hyper-realistic enclosure for mine.
They are adults so no need to really worry about moulting being on the cards, I just keep a level feeding regime.Ok thanks, sounds like about the same dimensions as a 10gal, very nice background as well. Do you know if they are adults and is that a live plant? Sorry for all the questions but I absolutely love the enclosure and how natural it looks and I'm going to do something similar in the near future.
Now that would be awesome to see!I must admit after doing this vivarium, I am seriously tempted to do a larger one, like triple if not quadruple the size
If I do anything like this it will have to wait, Ive just designed and in the process of building my new Bioactive Boa constrictor vivarium , have a pool, river, caves etc to put into this one so that will take us through to September easily! Ill post some pics up when its done, I am sure members will appreciate even with it being a reptile 'habitat'Now that would be awesome to see!
Im actually thinking of building a giant enclosure for a couple desert hairy scorpions hopefully before it gets cold out. I was thinking a 40gal breeder tank for 2 or 3 of them.Now that would be awesome to see!
