So I'm getting a Nebo Whitei Scorpling for my first Scorpion. What does everyone think of this species. Have you kept them? What did you like about them the most?
Got it; that definitely sounds better than underneath. Yeah, there is a temperature drop for most desert environments, but I don't know too much about that. I was thinking the same, but you'd be surprised at how low temperatures can go, say in the Arabian Desert... they can go down to 40F or 50F (4.4C or 10C). I'm not the most experienced with heating though-- I prefer to keep species that don't need it.The heat mat will be going on the side of the enclosure rather than the bottom. I may not need the heat mat too often in a couple of months. Yeah I'll be looking to keep it around 25 c but being an arid species usually temperatures drop of a night in deserts. That said, in the middle east I'm not sure they drop as much as they do in other places, I think it's more an arid scrubland species than a full on desert species and needs very slightly but not much more humidity.
Some places in England are absolutely beautiful. This town isn't it's awful but yeah there are beautiful rural parts and National Parks within 30 plus miles drive in pretty much any direction you've just gotta get out of the urban areas. It's not like when you think of London, it's nowhere near as affluent up here. South West of England, Scotland, and Wales are all beautiful though, The Peak District and The Lake District in Northern England are nice and The Yorkshire Dales.
I'd love to see The Rocky Mountains part of America and Canada and would love to visit Desert type areas like Arizona and New Mexico just to have a little look for Scorps, Ts and Scolopendra.
Ah, unfortunately, I think the species you saw is different. The "Red Forest Scorpion" you saw on TV is different from the California Forest Scorpion, which has bulkier claws. It does look really neat though.Just messaging to say I think I've came across a species you were talking about earlier in our conversation, while watching TV.
Uroctonus mordax. What a beautiful species. Red Forest Scorpion. I'm not a lover of the usual huge bulky Forest Scorpions but these are one of the best looking Scorpions I've seen with long slender claws almost like a Buthid in that sense. Being part of the Vaejovidae family I imagine they're pretty small though.
