Is it necessary to place water dish for hottentotta hottentotta sp.?

Hey there everyone,

I have 3 HH (3instar) i have doubts on certain things:

1. Is it important that i place a water dish for them or do i not need to do so? 
2. How often should I feed them at this stage (3instar)?
3. I keep my scorpions in my room so is okay to leave my scorpions at room temperature and humidity? I'm from Malaysia..
4. Do I have to provide them with a hiding place? because when I do they seldom use it anyway.

It would be great to get some help on these doubts I have..Thanks..

Thanks ShredderEmp.

Hi Vimreen,

Water dish is not required for 3.instar Hottentotta hottentotta, occasional mist at one side of the enclosure's wall should suffice.

It's mainly because if we are not careful (e.g. using an oversized dish filled with "excess" water) , such early instars could get drowned easily.

Room temperature in tropical countries such as Malaysia/Philippines is ideal for breeding scorpions (if there is no drastic climate change in the coming years), so not to worry, you can keep them in your room. Just make sure your tanks are escape-proof
