Hi, I recently purchased a decent size emp from a reptile store because I have a huge animal project for my biology class. I plan on keeping him after my project and I just wanted to know if I'm doing things right.
My thermometer reads 80 F during the day time and thats with out heat pads or heat lamps. I purchased a heat pad and I just started using it, but it says its going to take about 6 hours for it to fully work. Should I use a heat pad since the temperature seems to be fine?
Also, my scorpion hasn't been moving lately hes been in the same spot most of the day. but I hear him trying to climb the glass late at night, which gives me some signs of hope.
I remember when I first got him he would hide under this plastic rock-like thing I bought. Ever since i re-aranged his stuff it seems like I've ticked him off or something. Do they get mad when you move there stuff around? because I plan on buying him better hiding places and a bigger dish.
Can someone tell me if im doing this stuff right??
thanks,
Gabe
