Hi everyone! I am a new scorp owner, I saved what I'm 90% sure is a C. gracilis (I live in S. Florida and he looks like the google images) from a serious squishing about a month and a half ago. He's already had his first successful molt and is doing beautifully. Right now I have a heat lamp set over him and he's in a 10 gal. tank with plenty of wood, soil (should I change it to coconut husk?) and ~80F/75% humidity. Please criticize my set up if need be, though he seems to be doing well :)

Please share your story of how you got your first scorpion!!

First day of having him, he's chilling on a wet napkin. I went to a pet store because he needed a critter carrier and the guy gave me the napkin with the mulch and a little branch for free!

His cage set up. Again, I'm a total newbie so correct me please!

His first molt in my care, happened a couple of weeks ago. He shed in the little branch.

he is native to your area, no heat required. Neat find, I have a few of this sp. as well
