Best scorpion substrate

[JeffT]

Well I want to change my scorpions from vermiculite, I have two adult forest scorps and 2 small Emperor scorps about an inch long not including the tail. What is the best substrate? Where can I get it? Thanks IA

I use expandable coconut. You can mix it with sand and it will hold burrows. It is also cleaner then just dirt. Although some organic soils work well also.

Alright great, next time im out Ill get some. Where do you get it, petshops or garden centers?

I use that repti-bark stuff. It works pretty good for me. It isnt the best burrow material, but they can dig around in it. And you can wash the stuff about 2 times. Smells nice and clean after a good washing . I heard that sand isnt good for emperors, it can damage those triangle thingies on their bellies (sorry forgot the name).
