So I got an exoterra terranium mini for my asian forest scorpion and she is climbing on the ceiling of terranium why? XD
She fell down will she be ok XDIt’s solely because it wants to be free.
Worst case scenario, nope.She fell down will she be ok XD
It really depends. how big is the scorp relative to the distance fallen? did it/could it fall on something hard or edged like a water dish or stone? There's no blanket answer for this that will be meaningful if you don't provide context.She fell down will she be ok XD
it was like 4 inches onto substrate and she is an adult she is moving around tho seems to be okIt really depends. how big is the scorp relative to the distance fallen? did it/could it fall on something hard or edged like a water dish or stone?

As for why your scorpion is climbing on the ceiling: because it can.
Yeah, should be fine then. If she's going to make a habit of it, you might want to make sure you don't have anything hard she can fall on in there.it was like 4 inches onto substrate and she is an adult she is moving around tho seems to be ok
No. Re arrange the tank so it can't reach the lid.So I got an exoterra terranium mini for my asian forest scorpion and she is climbing on the ceiling of terranium why? XD
...all what?Not quite understanding all this. Their native habitat is a thick messy bug filled detritus that lends well to their avoiding light. They neither need nor benefit from anything else.
Oh. The display thing and apparently nowhere to avoid the light.all what?
Ah. Yeah those backing boards are useless. I basically have a big bin of dirt with a chunk of cork bark and a plastic lid in it. Not the most display-friendly pets in the worldOh. The display thing and apparently nowhere to avoid the light.
Always a point of contention. What comes first, the animal's comfort and contentment or turning it into a display object. Personally I revert to the in situ philosophy when in doubt. The animal evolved into a niche in natural environments where it is most adapted. Then follow Steve Irwin's line of thought - a natural habitat with a display area attached for some of the animals but the animal always afforded a retreat, away from disturbance, taking into account the sensory abilities of the animal.Not the most display-friendly pets in the world
