I have read in different places about desert scorpions and putting water in the enclosure with it. Some have said that they get all their fluid from eating prey, but most have said always put a small thing of water in there with the scorpion. I have always done this, but never seen them acitvely drink from a water source. Out of the 14 years of keeping scorpions (mostly communal, forest species) I have not seen them drink.
Desert species are less prone to drink from a source then forest or tropical species do to the lack of water in their enviornment. When I got this new batch of Bicolors in, I have had two that like to either sit on the sponge or drink from it by sucking on it. These guys have eaten every other day since I got them on nice healthy crickets or roaches. The temp is around 90-95. Humidity is 30-40%. Do you think they came in dehydrated?
Sorry for how crappy my camera is :wall: (it came with the comp).
This is one of my females drinking water,
