[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 131182, member: 26980"] Mine hide most of the time. They are photosensitive. The best way to lure a scorpion out is to introduce feeders. Viewing them under infrared heating lamps also works because they can't see that wave length and will behave in a nocturnal way which means that they'll be out and about often. The main difference is the moisture level. The desert ones are housed on sand with a hide in what is typically an arid setup. If providing a starter kit, you need to provide BOTH types of substrate with instructions for setting up each because a new owner won't know. Instruct the new owner to read at least 3 or 4 caresheets for whatever species that they get & include a disclaimer that whatever you provide isn't suitable for potentially fatal ones, eg those with venom hot enough to put you in the hospital or worse. Those really should have some type of cage with a positive locking mechanism that can use an actual padlock or cable lock of some professional type. You don't want to get sued. [/QUOTE]
