My kick a** scorpion set up!

I'm not into keeping scorpions but I love bulding things. When I came up with this idea I had to start collecting some for myself. I'll only be keeping the highly venomous ones though. I guess it's a bigger rush for me, i don't know.

Please enjoy!

Umm... excuse me?! you were supposed to stain it a darker oak colour so that it would match my bedroom! Now it's going to look all out of place!

Gorgeous enclosure! Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's filled up with scorps

saphire moon: My whole room is heated so I don't need any special heating. I have 4 scorpions in there so far but I'll need to add the hides and H2O tomorrow. I also have ventilation holes drilled into the sides.

Tim: You snooze, you loose, lol.

HAha my idea is slighty more complicated. Your design is more functional. So don't leave us hanging what kind of scorps are going to go in there?

Heheh that's a nice scorp collection you have in there.. It'll keep thieves away

I can't wait to see it next time next time I see you!

BTW: Do you have to remove the whole glass to feed one scorp?

Frank,
All I need to do is push the crickets through the ventilation holes I drilled in the sides. The same idea is used for my Poecilotheria enclosures as they are custom made not to open. It's a BIG headache when I need to take these out.

Oh ok, so if you got one expert burrower, it'll be able to throw sand out of its enclosure?

How do you give them water? Throwing gel water through ventilation holes?
