Begin by preparing the enclosures for housing the scorpions. To smoothen the walls of the polypropylene container acting as an enclosure, place 10 centimeters of self adhesive plastic tape over its internal surface, as well as on the upper corners of the container. Then, line the floor of the polypropylene container with craft paper fixed with masking tape on the edges on all sides.
Arrange four cardboard trays as vertical substrates on one side of the container with a rigid cardboard sheet between each tray. Place a shallow polypropylene tray containing soaked cotton as a water source on the opposite side of the enclosure. Place the scorpions in the prepared enclosures and house the containers in the room maintained at 24 degrees Celsius.
For complete maintenance, first remove the scorpions from the water tray. Then, using long forceps remove the water tray from the enclosure. Place the scorpions in the clean enclosure.
Remove all the scorpions left on the enclosure's floor and place them in the clean enclosure. Then remove the remaining live prey from the enclosure. Remove all the disposable substrates from the enclosure and properly discard them before sanitizing the reusable items such as water trays and containers with 0.5%hypochlorite solution.
To begin, place the scorpions in communal polypropylene containers as enclosures. Calculate the amount of feed according to the energy intake of the scorpions. Then, count the number of cockroaches as prey items.
Then, apply calcium carbonate with alcohol around the top of the enclosure to prevent cockroaches from escaping the enclosure. Place the cockroaches inside the enclosure for two days.
