Giving an Asian Forest Scorpion the Dream Life

🏡I built a custom rainforest backdrop and floor for the scorpion's terrarium, complete with plants and decorations.

🍽️I created an insect dispenser to deliver live insects as food for the scorpion.

💨I installed a reptile fogger to simulate weather events like rain and create the optimal humidity levels for the scorpion.

🦗Sir Fluffsalot, the scorpion, showed his predator instincts by catching and eating a cricket.

💤Scorpions are nocturnal creatures, so Sir Fluffsalot spends most of the day sleeping and hunts at night.

Why did you choose an Asian forest scorpion?

How did you decide on the terrarium design?

—I researched the natural habitat of Asian forest scorpions and tried to replicate it in the terrarium, providing the necessary elements for their well-being.

Do scorpions really need simulated weather events?

—While not a necessity, simulating weather events like rain helps create a more natural environment and can benefit the scorpion's overall health.

What other animals can live in a similar setup?

—Various species of insects, arachnids, and reptiles can thrive in a similar rainforest terrarium setup.

How often do you need to feed the scorpion?
