can't use lights? high humidity? arn't scorpions are found in the desert? like. no. recreate natural habitat. fucking hit that shit with light, but get it a wooden log or some shit to hide under.

lights are bad for scorpions. I have an emporor scorpion which needs high humidity.

thanks but I work long hours and the terrarium goes from 90% to 40% in just a few hours. I cant come home from work three times a day to mist my terrarium.

get yabbies instead. Cool motherfuckers that are also low af maintenance.

Get one of these and put on a timer.

I'm in a similar situation tßh. I have a small Texas tortoise pet (pic related). I got her as a gift almost a year ago. She's as low-maintenance as it gets, I haven't spent a cent in her so far, she eats cactuses that I grow myself just for her, I tried feeding her other vegetables but she refuses to eat anything besides cactus. She's been living in a large cardboard box in my deck but it is getting a bit cold in here and I'm planning on moving her inside my room and put it in a terrarium near my window so she gets enough sunlight and a lightbulb to keep her warm on cold days.
Any tips?
>inb4 release her
She was born in captivity and will most likely die if I set her free.

I actually have a fogger. I guess I should just get a timer that goes by minutes. The timer I have now will leave it on for 30 minutes which would make the terrarium way way to wet. That, plus a red heat lamp should solve the problem. I really dont want a red light in my room though.

I'm actually having trouble finding a timer that only leaves a product on for a few minutes at a time. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I had an emperor scorpion. You aren't supposed to put the mat under the terrarium as the scorpion burrow and might feel it too hot. I had the pressed on the back wall, them mats. Can't remember how I controlled humidity but I remember having problems with mold?
I think I had much as substrate in the terrarium, shredded bark maybe?
When it got dark the scorpion would start wandering in the terrarium and tapping the glass.
The glow in UV which is cool.

thanks.

I have it mounted to the side. The terrarium should be cleaned regularly and the substrate replaced weekly to prevent mold.

a lot of electronic timers, like the Noma/Woods TD1000 will let you program cycles as short as 1 minute. they're pobably easier to find and to use than the other gadget.
