Hey guys, I recently found a Marbled Scorpion (Lychas Marmoreus) wandering around in my house. I had been searching for a scorpion for quite a while, so I had some basic knowledge on how to contain them, however I’m a bit stuck. The scorpion has rather small pettiness without the comb-like structure, so I am guessing it’s a female. In its habitat, I have a coco-peat substrate which is somewhat damp but crumbly, and I have a small sponge as I read they could drink from it. I check up on it at night to see if it’s moved, but it is barely active. I have tried to feed it various small insects including crickets, all either alive or freshly killed, no larger than half of its body size (being 2cm). In the terrarium, I have a couple dead leaves, sticks (roughly finger-width) and a small pile of rocks/pebbles, along with the sponge. I have only had this for 2 days so I’m not expecting it to eat but, when roughly should I start feeding it? Do I need a heating mat/lamp for it? Should I need a humidity/temperature gauge for it? It isn’t exactly getting adequate sunlight either. The temperature is roughly 24°c and humidity varies from 30-70%.
What should I change/do to improve the conditions in the terrarium? I’m not very experienced
