So hello all I have a few questions concerning about the humidity for H. Trillinearus and flat rock scorpions. From what I read I have to keep 50% humidity for both species and Im not sure how to maintain it and how much is it (I dont have a instrument to mesure it), I just have a water bowl and rarely spray water for the plants (these plants dont need much water) so will that be enough for 50% or too much? Next, recently one of my gravid H. Trillineatus gave birth and do I need to raise the humidity up a bit just for the babies? Also how should I make a bioactive enclosure for these scorps or is it just not possible due to this type of substarte? And for my baby H. Trillinearus what can I feed them, do they must eat live food or can they eat things their mama killed for them if not can I feed these common garden wood bug/wood lices cause they are pretty small? Lastly is it fine to use this type of substarte for both species? I cant really get my hands on fancy stuff, these are all caught from the wild and the soil there is also this same thing.

Btw here is most of my enclosures, one is baby flat rocks, 2 are H. Trillineatus, 1 is Uroplectes Carinatus, a seperate enclosure for the mama and brood and the last one is just 3 pregnant H. Trillineatus. I keep them communally despite many people saying know and litrelly everything is going well so I say communal is recommended as long as you have requierd needs of course.

The humidity should be fine. For 30%, Spray once a month, for 50% every two weeks. (Depending on ventilation etc. so recommendations are approx.)

In such a dry enviroment you don't really need bioactivity since nothing really growns in there and poop will just dry out. Maybe think about replacing the substrate once a year.

Yes you can feed woodlouse or springtails. Also small drosos should work or prekilled whatever you have.

Welcome, there are a few micro organisms you could add if you want to and just recently they imported an isopod sp. from egypt that should do fine in dry enviroment but then again, it's just am extra.
