Scorpion Enclosure Setups

Here we go again...

OK, so here's some new pics. I managed to score the camera, so I'm going to bombard you with pictures of my aesthetic genious ;P

This is my 20L split for 2 S. mesaensis. I love the way this turned out. I finally figured out the best mixture of substrate, however, there was no exact measuring involved, so it's a bit inconsistant LoL

One more. I'm still on a quest to find a black water dish to make it all perfect. Having some rough luck, though.

I would just use a gatorade lid, they are black. Just clean it thoroughly and you should be set!

I don't imagine that would be big enough...

And every Gatorade lid I've ever seen was orange. What flavor has a black lid?

Heres my setup with a emp.
It is my first scorp and I have keeped him in about four months.
Substrate is potting soil.

dude, you're wasting all that space with this setup. Why don't you put the emperor somewhere else and get an arboreal tarantula or a true spiders that makes webs for this one??

Here's tha tank of the only scorpion I got. I swear the water-bowl empties in less than 12 hour every time. Dont know why....

 

[alex]

Nice!
What scorp do you have in there?
How big is the tank?

The reason the water bowl goes dry is because the peat gets pushed into the bowl forming a bridge. It's acting like a sponge and drawing the water out of the bowl and back into the peat.

hehe, yea, sometimes I find it dry with no soil in it. And in a really short time after pooring in the water. I also have a plastik wrap on the lid to help with the moisture. I keep a H.Longimanous in there.
