Hi all I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm currently setting up a tank for a incoming heterometrus spinifer that's gonna be shipped within a week. This is actually my first time keeping scorpion, but anyways I did some research and set an terrarium(20 gallon) for it.There's 3" of cocofiber as substrate, I got a heat pad and temp is always around 80-85 f. As for humidity I got lots of moss so it's always been 70-75% since i set it up. All these conditions are supposed to meet the requirements according to my online research but I still want to double confirm it. But my main concern is the lighting, I'm currently having zoomed nano led for the terrarium which it actually provide really nice appearance to the terrarium. Anyways I've saw a lot of threads in the internet saying lights are bad for them, so it was really tough when I was trying to find he right bulb for it(I know red bulb inferred is perfect since it provides heat and red light won't disturb them, but for appearance red light is just missing something), so I've looked over bulbs and I have chose the nano led which it don't really provide much uv and just pure light, also I have a lot of shades for it to hide in the terrarium, so the main question is would the nano led be a concern?
Thank you guys I know it's a really long thread but I would really wanna know, thank you very much
