PostSubject: Scorp's Terrarium Setup   Scorp's Terrarium Setup I_icon_minitimeMon May 31, 2010 9:58 am

Ano po ba ang mga dapat nasa terrarium ng mga scorps natin? I have the following dun sa terrarium ni TOP:

- Cocopeat substrate
- Two water dishes
- A driftwood
- and a maintained relative humidity of 60 to 70%

I really want to get a hygrometer for my terrarium pero wala ako makitang mura na analog.

Any more suggestions on what else to put sa isang terrarium to keep our scorps happy?

By the way-- This is my current set-up:

Hides #1 hapines ng scorp including tarantula. If u notice open ang eyes nla dhl wla slang talukap 2lad natin na pwdeng pumikit. So nid p nla ng hides para mgpahinga at matulog. Much better kung madilim sa hides at hnd tinatamaAN ng liwanag. Syempre water dish n peat n barks ok na po lhat un. Ayaw nga pla nla ng mOLDs at masama sa knila un. So dapat check nyo lagI enclo nyo. Sa tingIN q mga nsa 7i na ung loNGi n its a fEMALe. Nice setUp Very Happy

Problem din namin talaga ang molds. Kakarehouse lang namin recently dahil may nakita kami molds from the old setup. Ano po ba ang tips para maiwasan ang mga molds?

Meron din syang hide. Yung parang cave dun sa likod nung driftwood nya.

mahirap talaga iwasan ang molds unless hindi nyo po babasain ung peat or lalagyan nyo ng isopods ang enclo nyo. madalang na me makakita ng isopods.

di po ba kaya lang nagkaka-molds kasi mataas ang 'moisture' sa enclosure?

After years of maintaining scorps in fancy terrariums and spartan deli cups, I only learned one thing . . . You don't need a hygrometer.

If your aiming for a tropical set-up, our relative humidity is between 60-80%. Just keep your cocopeat damp and not soaking wet. When in doubt keep the other half dry. For as long as you have the waterdish, your scorp will not dehydrate.

To prevent molds, vantilation is the key. Aim for enclosures with cross ventilation to allow proper air circulation.

Also, I would recomment adding hides. Go for natural materials like wood, rock slates, or claypots. The overall design of your enclosure will depend on the species of your scorp. You have to consider if they are arboreal, obligate burrowers or opportunistic burrowers.

Ex. Heterometrus species are obligate burrowers, so hides should reall be part of the decor. While Centruroides or Tiyus species are climbers, so driftwood climbs are necessary.

By the way, do pay extra attention to your cover to prevent escapes.

Maybe something noteworthy. I tried a bottom layer of gravel + water gel separated by mesh to the substrate. Nilagyan ko din ng "pipe" deretso sa layer na to, so yung tubig dun ko dinidiretso. Lagyan mo din ng screen yung pipe mismo minsan pinasok ng lat yung sakin tapos na trap at namatay ang baho tuloy. Laging moist substate ko kahit well ventilated yung keeper. Works very vell for Heterometrus and Pandinus sps. Very Happy Ay saka sa ganitong setup, wala ako problema sa humidity kahit relatively dry yung surface nung loob ng hide nung scorp tapos sa water dish yung wet side. Dun ako mist.

sa sobrang moist nababasa na ang driftwood kaya nagkaka molds.. kahit anung ganda nang ventilation mo once na mabasa ang driftwood mo magkakamolds yan.. maybe not in a few weeks but later on magiging old din ang bark/wood at magkaka molds, hindi maiiwasan na hindi magka molds ang isang driftwood, linisin nalang at ibilad sa arawan and true hindi na kailangan nang hygrometer.
