Basic Care for Asian Forest Scorpion
Why keep Asian Forest Scorpion?
- Cheapest scorpion to start with (Correct me if im wrong)
- Good for beginner
- Easy management
- Docile and calm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic Housing
- A small container will do for this size
- Can change to 1-1.5feet guppy tank when reach adult size
- A scorpion's foraging territory usually is not very big so a big container is not necessary
- A community of scorpions is not recommended unless the owner is willing to take the risk of losing some
- However its rare for Heterometrus sp to cannibal each others
- A good hiding place, water dish, 2inch coco fiber/peat moss are necessary
- Add some pebble in the water dish to avoid drowning ur scorpling
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Diet
Scorpling
- Cricket drumstick
- Mealworm parts (Some can take whole small mealworm)
- Cricket parts

Adult
- Adult cricket
- Superworms
- Mealworms
- Dubia roach

Its not recommend to feed with wild catch insect as it might carry mites or being pesticide
It is best to feed insect with 1/4 to 1/2 the size of your scorpion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Venom
- All scorpion species possess venom. In general, scorpion venom is described as neurotoxic in nature
- Scorpions use their venom to kill or paralyze their prey so that it can be eaten
- However, envenomation by Heterometrus spinifer is similar to a bee sting in terms of the pain and swelling that results
- A sting on the thumb from a relatively non-dangerous scorpion often feels like the victim has accidentally struck their thumb with a hammer whilst driving in a nail
- Heterometrus species however, tend to use their pincher more often than stinging
- However if u are allergic to venom, its best to seek for medical treatment ASAP as it might be fatal

Mites problem
Mites infection can sometime be fatal to ur scorpion especially those annoying red ants
So how do we overcome it?

Mites Trap


Water tray


Vaseline Ring


The above solution can only prevent cleaner mites (Which wont do much damage on ur scorpion) and red ants
As for killer mites, its best to prevent it by staying away from wild caught specimens and feeder insect
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still got question???
