Not sure if this is ok for Asian forest scorpion. For the substrate I used Komodo coco fiber and sphagnum moss on top to cover some of the floor and a 14.4 watt heat pad on the side the tank is 45x45x45cm.
not really, these guys love to burrow so alot more substrate should be added. drop the heat pad asap, they burn inverts and dehydrate them. use a space heater for any needed heat. temps should be 70+ with upper 70s and low 80s being preferable. theres a ton of vent as well, that just means more maintenance on your end to keep moisture levels high. a much better set up can be bought for 10 bucks. a deep sterlite box, youll have to drill or melt your own holes.
@Venom1080 I've read about the scorpion it says they usually only burrow if no hide is provide for them and my heat pad is on the side cause I won't have any room for a space heater could I wrap the screen mesh vent at the top with clim film to keep the humidity in
@Venom1080 I could also remove the moss at the kind corner bit at the left of the tank then add more substrate along the front are the hides okay or is there another type of scorpion who would like this setup
all 13 of my Heterometrus sp have hides, and all burrow beneath it. its better to have no additional heat rather then a dangerous source of heat. you could, but a cheap, much deeper plastic tub would still be a far superior cage. there are no scorpions that i know of that could do well in that set up, maybe if you switched out a bunch of stuff and got some sort of arboreal scorpion though..
