So I just got this new Heterometrus, simply labeled "Asian Forest Scorpion" but it was 15 dollars, so I couldn't pass it up. I confirmed it's a male, but I am still very new to this, so please excuse my newbie questions.
How do I tell if the scorpion is content? Are they like the spiders, where a pet rock is a happy one? He's currently very active, and this worries me. He's not plump, but he's not thin, so I believe he's okay. I'll try to measure him, but I think this is a MM, do they act any different? I understand the basic requirements, I am just wondering those questions. I can and will post pictures soon. Should I move him into a larger enclosure? He's currently in an old enclosure my G. pulchripes was in, and I'm worried that if they are more active than a tarantula, if a larger, more spacious one would be better. by just guesstimating, I'd say he's maybe 5 or 6 inches long.
Thanks in advance, Jack.
