Greetings all,
What is the most heavily recommended size enclosure for one scorpion; is it just the 10 gallon? They sure are cheaper than a 15 or a 20 long but it seemed small when i was browsing the aquariums.
I like getting the most bang for my buck and I think I'd feel bad if I had it cooped up in such a small enclosure. I understand that they're not very active, and after running several search queries I came upon a comment that simply having too big an enclosure may just give you a nice big empty enclosure to look at! I'm thinking about just having one right now but I may change my mind to do a communal.
Also, for the desert burrowing species, is it reommeneded to use the zoo med excavator clay solely, or a 25/75 mix of that and play sand or is that just for the burrowing types? For the non-burrowing would it just be washed white play sand for flat rocks for example? I saw a bag of play sand at menards for about $5.
