I have a Asian forest scorpion I bought from PetSmart 7 days ago. They gave him to me in a little plastic cage you often get hermit crabs in with some dried up eco earth looking substrate and a sponge in a shell. He was super active trying to get out. 2 days ago I made him up an enclosure with my spare 40 gallon Breeder. I think I did a great job but now I’m not so sure. Ever since I moved him into it he sits under his hide all the time. I’ve tried turning all the lights off and watching him. Most he’s ever moved is to his water bowl which has rocks in it so he doesn’t drown himself, he drank a lot it seemed when I first switched him I don’t think the sponge was doing it for him even though the girl insisted that’s how he got his water. I have a heat emitter with no light, I used a mixture of forest floor zoomed, eco earth zoomed, and creature soil by zoomed. I also bought sphagnum moss and mixed it in there and used warm water to get the humidity started. I added rocks and some rock carpet as well. He hasn’t even attempted exploring the entire right side of the tank and I put a lot of time and effort into his little hide cave I’ve never heard of anyone giving a scorpion that much space to himself, did I do a good thing or should I have given him a smaller enclosure? I tried moving the heat to different areas and it doesn’t seem to make a difference to him. I’ve checked on him different times of day and night he’s always under the one hide in the back left corner, regardless of where the heats at. I took a picture with the black light on for a few seconds so you could see him drinking. And I’ve included a photo of him in the little container before I moved him.
