Vash the Stampede: Rainforest Scorpion

Description

My little scorpion with a big attitude! Anyone know much about scorpions? This is my first scorpion, and I am really hoping to keep him healthy. I know quite a bit about keeping spiders, but how different is the scorpion. Also, is there any way to sex them? The man I bought it from told me the other species were a lot easier to sex, and he wasn't sure on this one.

He's going well in his new terrarium and has had one feed since I've got him so that makes me a little more confident. I'm struggling with the heat lamp a bit, as I don't really want the scorpion to crawl onto the bulb and cook itself, so I have it outside the glass to keep him warm. He is not fussed in the day but likes to sit by it at night.

ANY tips regarding scorpion care would be helpful! I would love to know what you experienced owners think! You can only get so much from Googling "rainforest scorpion care" and asking the pet shop owner!
