looks like a Nice scorp, and i like the enclosure to.
Did you make it?

Yepp, I made it.
It's 3mm glass and the lid is 2mm acrylic.

This weekend I'm gonna make a second one for the other scorp. I also made similar but bigger ones (8x8x8") for when they grow a bit.

I can't take credit for the decoration though, it was done by the friend who I took the scorps from. I like it so much that I will ask him to decorate my future encloures as well. He keeps a Terrarium (in the sense of zoo for exotic animals) so he seems to know what he is doing

very coool...

How often do you have to clean an enclosure like that one? It seems like it would be an easy place for molds and things like that to form when the humidity is so high.

Hard to say, I guess time will tell
I've had him in this for just a month now, but no problems so far. I just make sure no feeders or feeder parts are left for longer than 24-48h in there.
However, I don't think an enclosure like this is any worse than a regular delicup.

Spot cleaning from time to time is all it really takes. Unless you get a colony of Leucocoprinus birnbaumii growing there . . .
