We have an ever changing range of complete set-ups from basic glass tanks to vivariums. We stock substrates as well as artificial hides/logs and plants that are safe for all inverts.

 

Scorpions:

Temperature range is best between 20C and 30C. Temperatures close to zero and up to 40C can be tolerated for short periods of time. Most scorpions will need heat in at least 25% of there enclosure, this can be done with the aid of heat tape / heat pads or reptile heat globes.

Humidity should be maintained around 60-90% for most commonly kept species with the higher end of the range needed to help with shedding. All scorpions must have access to damp and dry conditions in their enclosure, they will move depending on the needs. Deeper substrates can also aid in humidity regulation.


Scorpions are nocturnal but should still experience day and night light cycles, they must have hides or enough substrate for them to totally burry themselves in. Black lights can be used to view you’re scorpion but not used as a full time light, reptile heat emitting red bulbs
or ceramic heat emitters are fine to use for night time heating.  

Scorpions will feed on most other insects including there own kind , Their main diet in captivity should include crickets and wood roaches, they can eat as much as one cricket every few days to only once every few months depending on temperature/shedding cycles.

Different scorpions have different needs; we can explain set-ups, what species are best kept individually and all other special equipments with purchase and will add more information here in time.
