And keeping a dish of water in tank, also a no no. These guys live in super arid conditions. It’s bone dry where they live. I know because I have lots of them were I live. Keeping a dish of water with them in a glass tank will give them problems.
Phoenix is pretty much a desert too so I think you could find them in semi urban areas. Plus, I stayed with a friend in Phoenix over night a couple years back and they said to be careful in the back yard cuz they get scorpions…. So I would say yeah, these are probably found in Phoenix
Website care sheets for desert scorpions either say wet down the corner substrate, no water, or keep a shallow small dish of water. I use water crystals. Advice can be confusing. In the wild all desert creatures live in cooler, moist, deep burrows. A dealer told me that many scorpions die from their "Book Lungs" drying out.
+Progressive Discussions I was looking into obtaining a Hadrurus Arizonensis, my experience is limited to tropical species though. I deal primarily with Heterometrus spinifer. I'd love to try at least one desert specie though.
I would love advice on tropical scorpions. My Emperors and Asian Forests all died on me. Too much humidity, not enough, or was it a white mite infestation. I read that dwarf purple isopods will consume mites, mold, and all other debris plus are a fruit fly/pinhead replacement.
Why would you do that? Depending on where you live it may be way too humid or cold for them. Plus leaving them outside greatly increase the risk of mites or other pests getting into its enclosure. Just not a good idea.
Tmac Bri I was stationed in Georgia so I know it’s also extremely humid, at least where I lived. Which is not what this scorpion is naturally evolved to deal with. You have to keep these types of animals in a controlled environment that closely matches their natural one. You can’t do that outside.
Never use a heat mat underneath the tank .these scorpions burrow to avoid the heat so a heat mat underneath the tank is not good

My boyfriend just got one and it’s not moving much do they go limp if it’s too cold or anything?
Do I wet the sand and let it dry or no so they can burrow?
Do you know what kinds of pet stores would carry scorpions like these
Another Random RUclips Channel check out any exotic reptile shop or online
Or do what I did... catch em hoes
@@nataliebigornia5310 don't catch them loose.
Did i hear they grow under a UV black light? :O
Radscorpions bro!
I think he meant to say glow
Primitive Technology Doing it for a short amount of time is fine. Obviously you shouldn’t keep them under permanent black light.
Where do you get them?
My medium sized Desert Hairy mysteriously died. Was I supposed to not give it any water?
Don't water them daily, they get most of the moisture they need from food, I usually water my scorpion a small amount of water once per week.

I heard they don't like UV light it cooks them.
Yeah don’t use it😂 maybe a flashlight to see them glow every once In a while
Can I keep it in a outside enclosure

@@Rokaize I live in Georgia it's pretty hot here much of the year

Way too damp in Georgia. I live in the Mohave desert and see these guys every day. Super arid, hot conditions here.
is the emperor dig under ground like this one
Yes, the emperor burrows... but requires high humidity.... a totally different setup.
