Friend had a reptile that passed away from crypto. They’re replacing the enclosure and offered it to me. It’s 36x18x12

Ik crypto is highly contagious to reptiles, I’d be sterilizing the tank. But any specific cleaning methods I have to use? Will my future scorpion be at risk of a bacterial infection from the crypto?

Hello! I just got an asian forest scorpion from pet smart and all the required materials. It molted the day before I got it. I've done a lot of reading before hand ofcourse but any words of advice I may not know? Tips or things to watch out for?

Also open for name suggestions. For now it's Skrimp.

I am kinda obsessing about the substrate for my first Asian forest scorpion. I have a 50/50 peatmoss coco fiber mixture that i use with my tarantulas i was gonna use but i forgot i mixed some organic moss and play sand in it for appearance. Will this affect the scorpion? As long as i can keep humidity up i should be ok right? I on adding springtails but am worried about the isopods i keep as pets dairy cows may be to aggressive to add i worry about the molting process. What isopods could i use? Or just rock bunch of spring tails. Ill take any help with tips. My ocd has kept me from doing this 3 months now lol

Just got a close up photo of the stinger. And this girl don’t hesitate using it on her owner😅

In my asf tank (10g) there are a few tiny thin mushrooms growing, I just did a tank change a few days. I added some dirt plants and rock and now mushrooms are growing. Is this bad and if so how do I fix it

Soon I am getting a Tailess Whip Scorpion (look them up if you haven't heard of them) and I wanted to know the types of plants, isopods, and how many coconut fiber bricks I should use. I have a ten gallon tank, a good nit of money, and hope.

I keep my Asian Forest Scorpion’s enclosure near a window but I keep a net cover over it. The beetles were big so they couldn’t have fit through the mesh. Any suggestions?

I recently got an AFS and I'm not entirely sure how wet the soil needs to be. I'm using coco fiber and my experience from owning a tarantula tells me the bottom half should be wet and the top half dry, does this also apply to this species of scorpion?

Does anyone have any available?

I just caught an euscorpius italicus and I would like to inform myself more on how to keep, how often to feed, water, humidity etc. if anyone has any tips for this species I would highly appreciate it 🙏

Hi there. I'm looking to get myself an Emperor Scorpion (Pandinus imperator). I've been told they have good temperament, and I've already got a tank set up. Problem is, Petco is not able to order them in for me like they said they could, so now I have to figure out where to aquire one of these lil buggers. I live in Washington State, USA Where did you get yours? Is there a breeder you recommend? Do any of you have one for sale? EDIT: location

He is a juvenile (is teenager scorpion juvenile as well like spiders? :D) Heterometrus petersii.
