This is Frankie, probably one of my favorite scorpions in my collection. She was a little upset with me moving her to a bigger home. She instantly took to the new enclosure however. She found a nice tight crevice to hide in.

The enclosure is 50% sand 50% reptisoil. I made the hide of driftwood, cork bark and moss. I hot glued pieces so there was tunnels and hides as they naturally fit.

What do you think of Frankie and her upgraded enclosure? Frankie is named for Frank Sinatra since both are so dapper. 20230725_194805.jpg 20230725_195638.jpg 20230725_194805.jpg

Looks good overall, but is the blue light a blacklight/UV light? If so, scorpions are not supposed to be exposed to it for longer than a few seconds.

No it was a temporary light just to illuminate for better photos. I know UV is harmful I only use IR heat so the light doesn't harm them. I am very aware of their needs. Thanks for your concern though. Bringing awareness to others is still good.

Great, just making sure. In that case the enclosure looks good.
Good luck with this beautiful and fun species :)

Thank you she is definitely my pinnacle. I have a 2i baby too. I do love my Capensis Bright and my Radus but imo I believe the top is the Franzwerneri❤
