Hey guys. This is a basic caresheet for the species of scorpion known as the California Forest scorpion. Enjoy !
Name: California Forest scorpion
Scientific name: Uroctonus mordax
Place of Origin: California, USA
Feeding: Feed 1/8 crickets once every week.
Habitat: I use a Half wood hide with 3 inch's of Eco earth substrate, Or you can use a mixture of washed out Playsand and Eco earth mixture or planting soil.
Caging: I use a 6x8x8 glass enclosure for mine. Which does pretty good since He/She does'nt
move around much.
Lights and/or Heat: UVB or UVA for them is not Necessary for scorpions. For heat you can you a UTH (Under Tank Heatpad) I do suggest if you do this to get a thermostat for it since it can burn out if it gets to hot.
Temperature: 75-85 during the day, 79-70 during night.
Humidity: I usually leave mine at around 50-65 percent. Daily misting or a Humidifier is need if you're Humidity is not around the needed percentage.
Water: A common misconception about scorpions is that they do not need water. Which is not true, I provide mine with a small deli cup about the size of the scorpion. Then just use Non-purified spring water.
Maintenance: Change the substrate every month or two. Depends on how dirty it is. Clean out water dish every two days.
Ok that's it hope you this helps everyone out.
