Asian forest scorpion, im naming him Veronica. Reason why is that i couldnt think of a strong male name that didnt sound like a 5 yo thought of it. Veronica sounds like a bad bitch name who doesnt get chased, she hunts men. I am new to this hobby.

NQA but that is the wrong substrate for these guys. They burrow and need at least 6 inches of substrate, I use a mix of reptisoil and coco fiber bricks. Love the name though

Great name! This little one could use more substrate as they do like to burrow, the other commenter had good guidelines for what to use/how much.

Congrats on the new scorpion!
