I know that these wood chips are harmfull for tarantulas and suppose that they are for scorpions as well. I'd say it would be better to remove them or only leave a few in there.

Oh, and didn't you notice you can attach up to 5 pics in each post?? ;P

Hi!
Here is my tank for a H. spadix.
Does it look ok?

Alexander

 

[G. Carnell]

a bit simple, are you keeping them for study or for fun?
if its for fun, then you should make the tank more interesting IMO

 

[alex]

I know but I think it's difficult.
Do you have any suggestions?

Alexander

 

[G. Carnell]

rocks, bark, plastic plants- very easily obtainable

 

[alex]

Yes, I know how I could build but I'm a bit scared that the scorpion will be crushed by the rocks if burrowing.

[alex]

Is this better?

are you sure? its just reptibark, thats what was recomended to me. i washed & soaked it for about 20 minutes. what would you use instead?

 

[G. Carnell]

alex, a good way to prevent burrows collapsing is to make sure the rocks tough the sides and or the bottom of the enclosure

it LOOKS better, but it is more dangerous, so the final call is up to you of course

 

[Mr. X]

Those are, in order, my p.liosoma, my a.australis and my a.bicolor set-ups

Peace

 

[alex]

What's the size of the tanks?

 

[Mr. X]

The first one is 2.5 gal and the others are 5.5 gal but 5.5 for my a.bicolor is a bit too large.

 

[alex]

Is it 2.5 and 5.5 american gal?

 

[Mr. X]

yes it is, but i dont remember if my 5.5 gal is 5.5 or 5 gal

 

[alex]

2.5 is very small. 3 l if I'm not wrong.
What do you have in that one?
