Naturalistic Burrowing Scorpion Vivarium

So many of you have been hounding me to do a setup for an insect, arachnid, etc. for a long time and it's finally here! Today we'll set up a naturalistic vivarium for my brother's Tri-Color Burrowing Scorpion. She's a beautiful animal and needed an enclosure to match and that's why I'm here.

If you are looking for a scorpion that's always going to be visible than this isn't the one for you. It will spend most of its time in its borrows. That said, it will come out to feed and soak in the water dish from time to time. Also, like I said, this is not a care guide. If this is an animal you want to keep, go and do your research! They're not difficult at all, but you want to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. These scorpions tend to be quite defensive/aggressive. I don't personally keep scorpions, but my bet for a beginner would be an Emperor Scorpion (that's what my bro started with). They're pretty timid and much more receptive to handling.

Anyways, maybe I'll keep some "bugs" of my own some day and do more setups like this. Also, my brother is trying to get more critters like this, so I'm sure he'll let me make more enclosure for him. If this is something you'd like to see again let me know down in the comments and I can definitely do so!
