UPDATE: My Haddys new home in progress

I finally started my haddys new home and got first layer donei plan to put two more layers over next feww days

I want to eventually completly cover the cactus pot, and buils the two hills almost to the very top of cage, hopfully i can put a hide and make a scrape on first hill near glass so it will burrow in a way so i can see it against glass



Heres my Haddys little scorp motel where he will be staying for next few weeks while his home gets the extreme make over



Hope you like will keep updated on progress

I'd be wary of that cactus. I know they encounter them in the wild, but I'm sure in the wild they injure themselves on them and no one ever knows...

You can always put in a fake cactus, too. Very cheap at your local pet store!

I think fake plants are a much better idea theu cant die on ypu then. Lol

ok, most of spines are really soft you can rub your finger across them morew like hairs but im gonna take it out, prolly just growit in my window lol. trying to find a nice replacement, some cool ones at pet store. oh yeah almost done, with cage post more pics when finally finish one more layer to go then its time to wait for it to dry

Nice start on your enclosure. I think you made a wise decision going with the artificial cactus. I've tried keeping live
plants in my haddy tank, aloe instead of cactus, and it hasn't worked very well. I embedded the bottom of a water
bottle in the substrate to hold the plastic pot containing the aloe. Each week, I replace the aloe in the tank with one
of three I keep on the window sill. In 2 months, I've lost 2 aloe. Artificial is the way to go.

Also, if you place the plant (real or artificial) in a low elevation, it will get buried. All that sand from the tunnels
needs to go somewhere.

My set up is almost done here it is now



here the three scrapes i made for him to start his burrows


full view

a few more things i want to do add fake plant, maybe piece or two of bark he can crawl under and change the black sand to different color cuz it will just throw it around anyway. A haddys motto should be "I DEMAND ORDERED CHAOS!!!"

its cool i like it be prepared for it all to get dug up though lol it wont stay like that for long hehehehe

Oh yeah i know lol like i said a haddy demands organized choas
