[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 124570, member: 26980"] I use spark plug pliers for cage maintenance. The advantage is that they have blunt curved rubber coated pinschers, which won't crack a water dish. The grip is firmer then tongs, lessening the chances of dropping things upon the scorps. The other difference, at least with H spinifer, is that they can't run up the walls. This means that your substrate need not be almost all the way to the top because they can't fall from a distance or run around the lid on top upside down like a T can. Of course, this doesn't mean that you should ever turn your back with the lid gone or not have a catch cup, cardboard and a paintbrush within reach 24/7!! The devil should never be mocked after all!! Here's a pic of my enclosure. Look at the proportions versus her height. They all light up under a blacklight but shouldn't be exposed for a long period beyond brief observations, or finding an escapee.
