[QUOTE="Tyler Kuykendall, post: 37431, member: 677"] Can anyone experienced with owning scorps tell me if it's any different than owning t's? For example, for my 3 1/2" B. albopilosum, 4" G. rosea and 5 1/4" N. chromatus, [LIST] [*]I have for them hides and water dishes, [*]feed them two crickets a week, [*]spot-clean feces, food remains and old silk, [*]keep the temperature in the 60-90 range and don't worry about arid humidity unless they spend fair amounts of time standing on their water dishes (I was very concerned about humidity and temperature for my spiders until I read about the two topics on [url]http://people.ucalgary.ca/~schultz/myths00.html[/url]) [*]and I keep them in 10 1/4"H x 19 1/8"L x 14 7/8"W enclosures, giving them at least 2x their legspans in length and width even when full-grown, and half-filled with coco fiber to let them climb and dig if they want. [/LIST] Do scorps have stricter requirements regarding any of those things or is caring for them about the same as what I do for my t's? [/QUOTE]
