I've been using the search feature, and I can't seem to get the info I want.
I have a P.cavimanus, sold at an LPS as "Red Claw" scorpion. They also have "Africian Emperor Scorpion," P.imperator, but I decided to get the cavimanus because I understand cavis are often sold as imps, and the cavi was cheaper.
Anyway, I keep it in the dark, in my closet, on top of my roach tank. The roach tank has a thermostat to keep it at 90 F constantly. I'm sure the scorpion is mid-eighties, since the heat rope is on the bottom of the roach tank. For humidity, I don't have a good sized water dish, so I just periodically soak the substrate, and mist the moss I have in there. Currently I have it in a medium sized KK. Substrate is coconut coir, and I have the KK filled up almost to the top so my scorpion has lots of burrowing room. I don't have any hides, because it burrows.
Anyway, it doesn't eat! It looks fat, stuffed to the gills really. I think it might be pre-molt.
I can post setup pics later if needed.
