How do I...? (For real this time.)

[R.W.]

I've probably asked this, but how should I set up a 5 1/2 gallon tank for a giant vinegaroon, M, giganteus? I hope to get one in the next week or two, so I need to start setting up now.

Should it be set up like an emp. scorpion, with moist coco-fiber and an I.R. heat lamp? Or like a G. rosea, with dry peat and a water dish at room temp?

What should the temp and humidity be?

I've looked at petbugs.com, but one of their caresheets said that G. roseas should be kept at around 80% humidity, which I know thay don't need, so I don't how accurate they actually are.

Any advice?

Any advice, from anyone?

mine is in a 2.5 gal (but 5 is good) and i have it set up with peat moss subbstrate and a pieces of cut wood so it resembles a pile of wood the biggest piece of woof i have in there is like a flat "Y" shape and with pieces of bark on/around it... id say there set-up is close to emporers just not as humid, mine was WC and i recreated the area i found it in.. of course i found it behind a bath room at a KOA.. but it was in a pile of wood

mine doesnt have any lighting, it's just on a shelf
