For Rainforest sp, Coco fiber would be the best substrate as it can hold moisture very well compare to other substrate. Coco fiber can be purchased from local florist shop as well as Jusco/Carrefour with around RM2.90 per pack.

For desert sp, they can be house in exo terra sand which cost around RM20+ per pack. Some people use natural sand from their garden and let it dry under the sun few days before using to eliminates unwanted organism.

Of the ~1500 scorpion species, the vast majority are only capable of producing a local reaction similar in scope and effect to a bee sting. Only around 50 species are known to produce venom that causes serious systemic effects in humans. Of these 50 species, only a few (mostly in the family Buthidae) produce enough venom to pose a lethal risk to humans.

Still, severe reactions and death from stings are very common, accounting for thousands of deaths a year worldwide, 10 times as many as snake bites.[11] Most of the deaths attributed to scorpion stings occur in children, the elderly and the infirm in rural, agricultural areas of Africa, South America and Mexico, where the most venomous species are ubiquitous.

Scorpions rarely aggressively attack humans, but will often reflexively strike when they are handled, stepped on in bare feet, or accidentally crushed in clothing. Their ubiquity in certain rural areas and nocturnal, cold-blooded physiology often result in scorpions making their day burrows in human objects or dwellings. Footwear or clothing left outside overnight, thatched roofs, cracks in plaster or concrete, and wood and brush piles are all common shelter sites for scorpions.

Among the most dangerous are the deathstalker (L. quinquestriatus) and the yellow fat-tailed scorpion (A. australis), bearing the most potent venom and the highest human death toll in the Scorpion order (respectively). Both are native to the deserts and grasslands of North Africa and the Middle East, and account for nearly 75% of the worldwide deaths attributed to scorpion stings every year. Human deaths normally occur in the young, elderly, or sick; all but a few species are generally incapable of delivering enough venom to kill a human, although envenomations from one of the 50 most potent species generally causes unpleasant and temporarily debilitating systemic effects such as vomiting, cramps, blurred and wobbly vision, sensitivity to light, hypersalivation, difficulty swallowing, and agitation. Anaphylactic shock has also been caused by allergic reactions to several species of scorpion venom.
