Asian forest scorpion humidity?

[Frostbite0524]

Im currently (at least I think) having an issue with the humidity level. The humidity gauge is always saying its around 60-65 only hours after moistening the substrait and watching it go to 70-75 which I read is good for them and my rooms temperature is usually around 80°. I had an issue earlier where my previous substrait was poor so I replaced it and want to further avoid this issue. So far hes moving around normaly and doesnt seem to have any off behaviors but I wanna make sure im doing everything correct.

Looks good to me just keep susbstrate wet and hopefully it won’t mold. The meter is more of a gauge for your reference it’s not as important as keeping sub mostly wet and water dish full. Let’s see what experienced keepers say I haven’t had a scorpion in a while.

Make sure you get good accurate gauges for temps and humidity. I attached one of your images, if you look deeper into your substrate it appears bone dry.

I noticed it too but how would I get it moistured?

I have modified gatoraide bottles with holes in the lid for soaking the lower levels of substrate but you can use a water pitcher or anything…

Really? May I see a picture?

no problem only take a few seconds .
I may do a larger one too for my Ts it’s easier to water them. These are perfect size for hard to reach spots.

And I assume you bury them down in the substrait and pour water in them? Ive seen a few people do that, or do simply use them to pour water into the enclosure? Also thank you!

I mean you could try both ways but they definitely soak lower levels of substrate for my Phampho and I moisten a percentage of my other Ts substrate so they can choose what side they want. I pour them close to the substrate so it doesn’t kick up substrate like a single water stream. Before I would just use water jugs or pitchers.
