Hello all, we plan on a new guest this weekend a large emperor scorpion
not sure if its a male or female but it is very large and very fat , Having never had one I do need some ideas on a viv set up I do not like a tank with newspaper not my thing, I prefer very life like setting , that said we have a clean 10 gal to set up please post or email me pics of your viv so we can get some ideas, please feel free to offer adivce....thanks

Well here is what I ended up with, I used spray foam for the back ground covered with ground up walnut shells, Also made a cave of plastic wire covered with foam and hulls, there is a 1 inch tube in the wall it starts above the tank lid I made and exits near a plant works great for feeding just drop a crickett in and it slides out in the tank, the plants are real and need little care they have plastic holders with water in them , there is a small under tank heater and a water dish the only thing left I think is a temp, humidity gauge and of course the scorpion

looks good creecritter
