What kind of scorpion do you have?

My children bought me 2 emperors,not really into inverts,so want nice set up in livingroom

Ok, here is a basic setup. Use a ten gallon tank. Get some gravel and lay the bottom with approx one inch. Get a plastic tube that is high enough so scorpions cannot climb into it or it has a lid and place it in one corner. Place a layer of soil on top, on one side make it about 7-8 inches and on the other side about 3. This just gives the terrain some variability and makes it look nice. You can put some real or fake plants in with some cork bark or pet store hiding places. Anything they can escape the light from in is fine. Make sure they have a water dish. Hope this helps.

Say Aidan, in the setup you describe, what purpose does the upright tube serve?. Thanks.

you pour water into the tube, filling up the gravel at the bottom with water. It increases humidity in hte tank

To add water to the bottom layer.............to keep humidity up. Sorry..........figured I'd answer......;)
