The Scorpion is comming back!

I am excited to have a scorpion again. It may had been one of the oddest pets i ever had but it has been one of the best caged creature i ever had. I find them more enjoyable to watch than a tank full of fish.

Right now i am in the planning of setting up the tank again. The type i plan on getting is the same one as Dwayne, my previous scorpion.

Black Desert Hairy Scorpion - Hadrurus spadix
This kind of  scorpion is a desert species which is from the higher parts of Arizona. You may think it lives in sand, but that is not the case. Its counterpart does tho, which people do get confused with (Hadrurus Arizonensis). This scorpion is great digger and loves to borrow. You must provide a good substrate that it can do just that. Also, you need to keep the humidity to a minimum with this creature as it does not tolerate wetness that much. I was told by KenTheBugGuy's that you should at least mist it once a month as it lives in higher elevations than Hadrurus Arizonensis.

Here are some pictures of Dwayne, my previous scorpion.
