hmmm i try not to let them borrow because i always love to look at them, ive tried allowing my spinifer to burrow but they r both CB so they don relly burrow that much, also i have got my emps, that was the spinifers old enclousre.. will add more peat moss when they arrive.. hopefull next week

Nice enclosures, your substrat of H.spinifer is on sand ? It is a bether substrat choise ? or a test ?

My guess is its so he can see them better. So long as he's keeping it moist (which he obviously will be doing) I don't think theres anything wrong with it but coco fibre/peat/compost is always the best comply because of its moisture retaining properties

its actually called red burn soil, something like loose potting soil.. traps moistire well.. i have been usuingthe same sand since i got them.. very low maintanence... sive the female had gave birth even on those i see a propblem to continue using them

Here's some pics of my set-up for Hottentotta judaicus. I'm planning to replace the substrate with peat moss because it's a pain in the arse when the crix hides in those fungus. I got 7 species 4 x subadult and 3 adults living in a 10 gallon.

alrighty..i movedmy emp to a 10g...added some moss under and around the coco fiber also. On top is a 50w red bulb, and on the side is a fish tank style light incase he eats in his hid i can still watch. Bowl is a large "hermit Crab" bowl, plant is live bamboo..its done pretty good so far.
Gauges are kritterz temp and humidity

Not sure if there is peat or coco-fibre (comes in bricks) under that bark chip, if there isn't get the scorpion onto it, its a much better and more natural substrate.
