my new emporer scorpion

[smasher]

Hello..
Around 4 days ago i got my first emporer scorpion,i think its male.
I tried to feed it twice,and today it took its first meal..
Here is a pic of him eating his first meal for me.

He is eating a lobster roach..
He took it,ran off and started eating it..lol
And yes,his enclosure is getting sprayed after he eats..
Thanks

It needs more than just a spray mate.
Outta curiosity what substrate is that?

Your substrate just looks like soil from the garden please tell me it
Isn't.

The substrate is top soil,i heard its fine..
And yes,the soil is moist now..

Its not good to be honest mate, tends to harbour parasites
your much better off using this stuff Terra Spider - Coco Fibre Substrate for Tarantulas Suppliers of Arachnids and other quality Invertebrates
Hold moisture really well and stays together nicely so your P.imp can burrow instead of trying to use that exo terra hide
( assuming thats what is in the pic cant see it all lol )

Ok,thanks,ill go to the petshop tomarrow,and try get some of this instead,how long does it last before you have to clean it out?(never used it before).

[lycanlord20]

a long long long time
if you spot clean, so just remove dead bodies etc it can last a year before a full clean out needs to be done but you can do it more frequently if you wish

also, make the sub deep as they like to burrow.
