Light at night

I have my tank in my living room where my computer is. At night I put a towel over most of the tank so the light from my computer and desk lamp won't bother him, is this right?

Also he's been in his new home for about a month and a half now, a 10 gallon tank, and hasn't come out of his hide since original exploring (I check a couple of times throughout the night). He doesn't wait right inside the cave mouth either, he's back a bit(I discovered by lifting up the hide to see if he was still alive) and has dug up a small 'wall' at the cave mouth. Will he come out if he's hungry enough?

Thanks in advance.

i wouldnt worry too much, most scorpions spend alot of time in their hides...
not to mention most scorpions fast for long amounts of time...

just do alot of research on this forum and youll learn a ton of stuff, its what i did...beside the usual question or 2

^ As he said. But if you really feel bothered about it then just move the tank.

yeah...lol...you could do that...
i keep my room as dark as i can, and usually right after dark (give or tke an hour)
i usually hear the pinchers tapping glass
