I am wondering if my set up for my enclosure of scorpion is proper since my H.Hottentota has been moving around a lot lately. Moving around like constantly wandering around the enclosure, but not trying to claw out of it. What do you think?
I have a 4-5i H. Hottentota and another 4-5i Parabuthus Transvalucus, both set in some sort of a 1 gallon tank. Both conditions of enclosures are the same: the substrate I used is fine sand mixed with coco peat, but thr amount of substrate provided to the Hotenttota js 1 inch thick,meanwhile for the Parabuthus is 2-3 inches. for their hides I provided cork barks and some pebble.
In the case of the light, the light you can see in the room is the most they experience from my LED Lamp, since I do not use the ceiling light and settle with the lamp light. Its brightness is also fixed to that degree. I als occasionally moisturize 1/4 of the enclosure for both every 3 weeks since i believe both are not desert scorpions and would very much appreciate moisture every now and then.
In terms pf chemicals that maybe present in my room, I do use perfume, the only chemical that is sprayed that I use, but I use it OUTSIDE of my bedroom. I also remove any uneaten food in the enclosures. There are also no molds growing in the enclosure.
If there's anything, the HH I have seems to be in pre-molt since her body is unusually chonky, but I am not certain if that's enough to make my HH wonder around the enclosure this often. Any thoughts?
P. S one of the pictures (close up of both scorpions had flash. I didn't know scorpions doesn't like that until recently, so please excuse that mistake for now.
