I was looking for one. I did see one at the same store that was a bit smaller surface area but double the height. Would that be better?Bigger holes. I like to use metal skewers, heated up with the stove til glowing red, then I quickly melt all the vent holes in. You'll want them closer to the middle of the container. of course, you definitely need good ventilation, we've got an exhaust fan that sucks the smoke out. A candle could be used outdoors to heat up the skewer.
Mycosis isnt actually caused by high humidity and poor ventilation, though it is exacerbated by it. The true cause of mycosis is infection, either from ingesting infected prey, or introduced via injury.
These scorpions require stable substrate for optimum health, as they're obligate burrowers. They do not require a heat source and thrive just fine at room temp. In winter, they actually seal themselves off and enter diapause in the coldest portions of the deserts. You will need deep substrate, the larger the scorpion, the deeper. If you can find a bigger container of the same shape, but clear, it would be ideal for burrowing scorpions, IMO, as they allow the scorpion to burrow as they would in the wild- a downward spiral, not to mention allow you to watch your scorp at work
it really depends on the size of the scorpion. I cant be of any help there unless i know how big the specimen is.
I have an Asian forest scorpion, does this require a well vented tank too? I've a few big holes in the lid if that's adequate?
Cross .flow ventilation is best, if your tank is of the plastic type make holes in opposite sides, one set of holes 1/3 up, the other 2/3 up .Obviously make the holes the correct size so the feeders can't escape. If you have a glass tank with plastic lid, make as many holes in the lid as possible.
Thank you, I do have a glass tank so I will make even more holes
thanks for you're reply I really do appreciate it!
