I went to a local pet shop to have a look at some scorpions and they had for sale a plastic container, vented lid, feeding hatch and all for under £4. So I bought one. Transferred Smiffy and (s)he seemed very happy. Walking about, hiding in the plant pot or under the plant. Then, it seems to have taken a liking to walking up the sides. Then back down on the substrate for a few hours. However, it will now climb up the sides and hang upside down from the lid and perform what can only be described as press ups. I've seen it fall (or to be exact, did a backwards flip!) once. I actually told it off for being so stupid ![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://thebts.co.uk/forums/core/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
My first thought was the substrate was wrong, but the surface is dry, but not dusty. The bottom 3/4 is moist but not wet. One corner is left damper than the rest (which Smiffy prefers) and the water dish is regularly emptied and filled up with freshly cooled boiled water. Does my smithi think it's an arboreal species, or just think it's Spider-Man?
Any comments or opinions would be gratefully received.
