my enclosures are pretty basic, just small plastic container with sand or coco peat depending on species. If you want a larger better looking setup go with a flase bottomed setup. Use a layer of pebbles under the substrate to act as a water reservoir. Use plastic pipes to fill it up.

What do the false bottom set ups acheive apart from looking good???

 

[bylo]

the false bottom set up keep the bottom of the sand humid and not wet .
mainly used for desert species of scorpions .
in the desert the sand is dry on top and moist under the sand .
the scorpion can climb up and down his tunnel to regulate his moisture level that way , dry on top wet on the bottom

I just had my Scorpion in a small plastic tank with coirpeat substrate, a few pieces of bark and thats it. Would throw about 5 crickets in each week and spray the tank twice a week.

what species scorpion do you have ,
the deserts can get a fungal problems if they to moist .

that system is perfect for rainforest species and even the black rock varieties

and the way you keep them is up to how long you wish them to live for

were hornet I would love to know your contact

 

[hornet]

its usually only with mates near by, thats at 1st instar when shipping is unsuitable and before they need to be separated, just means i have to do all the hard work lol and buy all the containers

 

[bylo]

so not any one can get them that cheep , mates rates .

 

[hornet]

you probably could but only if you can collect as 1st instar isnt suitable for shipping.
