hello, firstly, i got my first emperor scorpion 5 days ago, it is an adult male however i have attempted several times to feed him and he always refuses his meal, should i be worried>?
secondly i have heard that you should not use heat lamps with emperor's as they are nocturnal and do night like the light, i was even told that exposure to it can be fatal to them but i am having trouble keeping the tank in the desired 70-90 degree range especially at night, i have it set up with a large heat mat on the bottom of the tank and a smaller one on the side of the tank and for very cold nights i have a room heater which i can use but that takes all the humidity out of the tank.
can anyone help me out here? what is a better way to heat the tank?
