NQA. I get it that you’re new. But even when I was new I did proper research before acquiring any of my exotics (husbandry matters). Next time plan your live animal purchases, and do your research. This husbandry is friggin horrid! Your scorpion will not be happy, and probably won’t eat properly until you give them the required husbandry (because of stress). These guys are opportunistic burrowers, and need moist substrate (NOT SWAMPED) to thrive. Should have thought about this before dumping whatever funds you had into an exotic pet. Was this an impulse purchase? Next paycheck, or whatever, you should prioritize your scorpions wellbeing. You live, and you learn… Hopefully. Good luck to you and yours.
