[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 127215, member: 27677"] My pair of Urodacus elongatus, the Flinders Ranges Scorpion. The male is the one coming out from underneath the rock. I only just got him a few weeks ago, and since he has made his burrow, or scrape under the rock he rarely comes all the way out, so unfortunately I don't have a picture of his elongated 'tail' for which the species is named. The female was one of the first scorpions I acquired, I've had her about 5 years, she rarely goes into a hide and has not burrowed to extend it at all. Both are kept in tanks with a false bottom where there is a layer of straight coir peat directly above the stones (scoria) topped with a layer of straight sand. The sand is kept dry on top and the peat layer is kept moist but not wet. The polished stones attract condensation and always appear wet even though water is not added to the surface, the female in particular spends a lot of time standing on them and/or drinking the droplets off of them.
