Are they hard to care for? Been thinking about getting one.
In my opinion not hard to care for if you get the set up right for them as the correct environment will go a long way...Are they hard to care for? Been thinking about getting one.

If possible a glass enclosure is ideal for scorps with ventilation .. Mine have a reasonably deep amount of sub ( I find sedge peat is best) and also make sure you have sphagnum moss in there too... I keep the sub damp to the touch and 'make it rain' once a week for them by heavy misting.. You don't want it soaking wet in there though, so find a balance what suits your needs provide some hides in there with pieces of cork bark or similar and some plastic plants unless you were planning on going for a bio active set up they like to feel safe and secluded they seem to prefer crickets as feeders but I've known them to take roaches and mealworms too.. Hope that helps
I keep mine at room temperature.. As long as it doesn't get to cold it should be fine...is room temp fine?
as for enclosure basically set it up like a tarantula enclosurethat requires moist substrate?
