Hello!

I have a desert hairy scorpion in a 10 gallon with a mixture of excavator clay and sand. It is good enough for him to burrow in. I have no problems with the setup but I started finding it hard if he ate his food or not. If any of you guys have desert hairy scorpions or other desert scorpions, can u send me a pic/vid of your guys's tanks? Thanks!

I’ve kept desert species in the past,
Paruroctonus boreus, I wouldn’t be too concerned about you not seeing them eat. If your feeders are missing, I’m sure they are getting eaten.

Does the Scorpion look like it is gaining any girth or is it paper thin?

Is there a water dish?

I don't see him/her that often so it seems like he/she is kinda just staying the same. He/she just recently molted too (he's a subadult I think right now). Yes, I saw your posts on other forums and put in a water dish yesterday.
