| Well all you need to do is keep the temp at 80. For humidity, if you have a forest genus of scorpion or such, pour water on the substrate and that will take care of it. | |

| Yeah, just pour some water onto the coco fibre substrate so that it is damp but not soaking and that will provide perfect humidity for about a week or two. | |

| Does your apartment get cold during the daytime or during the night time? If it's a comfortable temperature for you, it probably will be for your scorpion. They can do well in 70-75 degrees F. The humidity from the lake is probably beneficial to the scorpion as they are a forest species. However, if you wish for a more active scorpion, raising the temperature does help.
If you still feel uneasy, I suggest buying a clamp lamp and heat bulb. If you wish for more information on this, ask and I'll let you know. | |

| I use those ceramic heaters to heat mine. They last along time, and don't produce any light which is nice. My apartment gets cold. | |
