[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 131127, member: 26980"] The instructions seem geared for tropical scorps only such as my H spinifer for example. Arid species are kept on sand, sometimes with a small water dish sometimes not depending on the aversion to water. Both types require totally different conditions. Usually scorps require a hot side and a cold side of the enclosure. While you can do that with anything, it's a lot more important for them. If you do need to perform a procedure on a scorp, they can be cooled to 55 degrees for an hour and then returned to the cage to warm up again. With these guys, do not handle unless it's an emergency.
