Actually liberty, I hate to pull you off your high-horse here, but this person who started the thread does know that T's aren't meant to be housed on bark chips, scorps are meant to have deep substrate, scorps are not meant to have cotton-wool in their water (as it harbors mould and fungi). T's and scorps are both not meant to be under bright fluro lights either... So that's that settled. It seems to be you that needs to 'be educated about the species'.

Futhermore, yes pet-shops do crappy stuff to their scorps and Ts... But that's because they're on display. If they gave them the proper husbandry requirements, both the Ts and the scorps would burrow and never be seen. Why would someone buy something they can't even see? They also overprice things like crazy because if they didn't, their business wouldn't thrive.

It's not a good thing, but it is the reason, I think
