ive been setting up this whip scorpion enclosure for a while and i think its nearly done (apart from waiting the months for everything to cycle ofc)

it has tropical springtails and panda king isopods, its about 30x30x45cm (above the substrate) and is averaging around 22-25 celsius and 65-80 percent humidity

ive ordered a pink Syngonium (in picture) to hopefully root and vine onto the big centre stem and wherever else for some extra climbing spots and shade but after that i just need to wait a bit for everything to settle i think

is this suitable for the tailess whip scorpion? i think it probably is but just thought id double check here

Hoping to breed and have some amazing scorplings

Picked up a female D. medius from an expo about a month ago for only $25 so i’m pretty sure she’s WC. she’s been refusing food but she looks pretty chunky compared to other individuals i’ve googled so i think there’s a decent chance she’s gravid. can anyone else with more experience with this species confirm? i know the quality isn’t the best and i should probably be getting a ventral view but she’s quite skittish and i don’t like to stress her.

Threw in a little selfie of her :P

Recently went to the pet store and bought some reptisoil, a piece of cork bark, and a water dish. Wondering if this is a good start? The tank is 12x12x18.
