Im not too sure if tis will reach the sticky threads but owell take as it comes i gess.

Befor i start these types of scorpions are apparantly very aggressive and have a level 3 out of 10 venom deadlyness

NOTE: These scorpions are not pretty ornaments to show off to your friends!

These scorpions are not a begginers scorpion.

First of all you need:

>Under tank heating pad.
>Shallow water dish.
>Fine desert sand (do not use soil from your garden) 10 cm deep atleast, keep moist so yhe scorpion can burrow
>Atleast two hiding spots( one on the hot side of the tank and one on the cool side ).
>A 30cm by 20cm tank or more ( width and length are better than hight).

INFO ON THE SCORPION:

>Discription and so on...:
This scorpion grows to about 10cm long from claw two sting,they are a yellowish colour with a shiny sheen thus giving its name, their pincers are HUGE compared to their body size, the end of their pincers goes to a black or dark brown.

>Food: Smaller ones eat pin-heads to a medium-small size crickets. Adults eat medium to large sized crickets.

Pin-heads ---> [....] Medium-small ---> [.......] medium ---> [..........]

>Under tank heating pad.

for any type of scorpion especially a burrowing species, the heating pad should never be placed on the bottom of the tank, a natural response to heat from a burrowing species (they may also do it for humidity too), is to burrow deeper into the substrate. the further the scorp gets, the warmer it gets, and you may end up with smoked scorpion. place heating mats on the top or side of the tank.
