學(xué)名：邁索爾異距蝎

Description A large black forest scorpion. These have massive claws, These scorpions have an almost armoured appearance. Probably one of the best scorpions for a display enclosure available. They can be kept in a communal set up but the enclosure will have to be very large. Ideally keep in individual housing unless breeding is the aim. Not a particularly defensive scorpion and the venom is not considered harmful to humans.

描述：

一種大型黑色的雨林蝎。他們有大而重的爪子和全副武裝式的外觀。可能是用來展示的最好的蝎子之一。它們可以群養(yǎng)，但領(lǐng)地必須非常大。理想的情況是單獨飼養(yǎng)，除非以繁殖為目的。不是特別有防御性的蝎子，它的毒液對人類無害。

Housing An ideal size enclosure would be 18x10 inches of ground space for a single scorpion. For a substrate either a complete covering of coco humus or a 70% coco humus 30% orchid bark mix is ideal. The substrate should preferably be at least 3 inches deep, deeper if possible. A selection of hides should be available artificial reptile hides or cork bark are fine. The scorpion will naturally burrow under cork hides.

居住

對于一只蝎子來說，理想的圈養(yǎng)空間是18×10英寸。對于基質(zhì)來說，完全覆蓋可可腐殖質(zhì)或70%椰土腐殖質(zhì)30%蘭花樹皮混合物是理想的?；淖詈弥辽儆?英寸深，如果可能的話要深一些。（譯注：其實這種基質(zhì)定型很差，蝎子探索一陣就不會繼續(xù)深挖了。想要挖洞要自己用沙和土配定型性好的墊材）應(yīng)選用人造爬寵躲避或軟木皮為佳。蝎子自然會在軟木皮下挖洞。

Climate Humidity should be approx. 70-80%, not lower than 70%. Temperature should be a gradient in the enclosure, 28C at the hot end. This is easily attained by fixing a heat mat to the outside wall of one end of the tank and controlling it with a Mat Stat or On/Off stat, The probe should be inside the tank close to the heated wall. Use a digital thermometer / hygrometer to accurately manage the climate. The substrate should be damp to the touch and regular spraying with tepid water will hold the humidity. At regular intervals the substrate will need to be watered to maintain humidity.

氣候

濕度應(yīng)在大約70-80%之間，不要低于70%。溫度應(yīng)在容器內(nèi)存在梯度，熱端為28℃。這很容易通過在缸一端的外壁上固定一個加熱墊并使用溫控來實現(xiàn)。探頭應(yīng)該在水箱內(nèi)部靠近加熱壁。使用數(shù)字溫度計/濕度計來準(zhǔn)確控制氣候。墊材摸起來應(yīng)該是潮濕的，經(jīng)常用溫水噴灑可以保持濕度。每隔一段時間，基材需要澆水以保持濕度。

Feeding Mysore scorpions like their food. It is essential not to over feed these. One prey item once a week is enough for a maintenance diet. Large crickets, Locusts and roaches are taken well, an occasional Morio worm is also devoured with enthusiasm. These must have a good size water dish available with clean water at all times.

喂食

邁索爾雨林蝎很愛吃，不過度喂食很重要。一周一次的獵物足以維持它的日常飲食。大蟋蟀、蝗蟲和蟑螂都吃得很好，偶爾也會熱情地吃掉一條大麥蟲。必須有一個大小合適的水盤，隨時都有干凈的水。

General These are incredible invertebrates and are available in small numbers most of the time. For those wanting to have a display scorpion this would be a very good choice. Mostly active morning and evening it and set up in an enclosure well decorated with hides caves and artificial plants it is easy to maintain and rewarding to keep.

總結(jié)：

它們是極好的無脊椎動物，大多數(shù)時候數(shù)量很少（譯注：國內(nèi)并不是）。對于那些想要展示蝎子的人來說，這將是一個非常好的選擇。它們大多在早上和晚上活動，并被安置在一個用躲避洞穴和人工植物裝飾得很好的容器里，這很容易維護，而且飼養(yǎng)起來也很有價值。
