Hi guys i have a quick question, is room temp enough for scorpion? ( 22° to 24° celcius)
Depends on what you have?Hi guys i have a quick question, is room temp enough for scorpion? ( 22° to 24° celcius)
Both species require greater than room temperature, Hadogenes spp like it around 90f and relatively dry 40-50% humidity and Heterometrus again like a range from 80-90f but with more humidity from 70-80%Heterometrus and hadogenes
Should be ok.maybe just a bit warmer. Just remember most terestreal invertebrates burrow to avoid high temperatures. Day time temperatures should always be a bit warmer.Heterometrus and hadogenes
How is your set up, CHE on multiple enclosures or 1x1?Ceramic heat emitters are always my choice, can be used both day and ight and last for years

It depends on the size on the tank, anything bigger than say 30x30 cm gets its own lamp and stat, fish tanks are ideal because one lamp makes to nice hot spots and you can get good depth of substrate so they don't have to work as hardHow is your set up, CHE on multiple enclosures or 1x1?

Same as any heat source really, so long as it is regulated and monotired it will be fine, I check every enclosure each morning with a digital laser thermometer even though everything is on a thermostat, the reasons I prefer them are no light and long life.Thanks I dropped some money on mini halogens and there is really no need to change over to CHE other than the life of the bulbs. Longer life vs greater opportunity for nocturnal observations. My thermostat can be reset to proportional if I do make the leap. I would be using mini CHE but want to run it by users to make sure I don't roast my beloved creatures because most will be housed in 3 gallon (20.32 cm x 20.32 cm) terrariums.
