I wouldn’t suggest feeding ants to your reptiles unless they are a specialised ant eater such as a horned lizard. Ants can be quite aggressive especially when a predator starts eating them so they have an increased risk of hurting your pet. Some ants can produce an acid as a defensive mechanism also which wouldn’t be good for your pet. Maybe stick to some of the more regular feeder insects, hope this helps.

@@PredatoryExotics definitely helps, thanks

Yes you can find the same species in Morocco 👍🏻

A 6% uvb bulb is best, heat bulb will depend on the temperature of your room but around 50w hooked up to a dimming thermostat.

@@PredatoryExotics I don’t really understand uvb but I got you with the beating thanks for the fast reply, FOLLOW

That’s awesome 👍🏻

Although they are a desert species they don’t require the strongest UVB bulb because they are mostly nocturnal, a 6% bulb is perfect. As for heating there will need to be a hotspot of around 32 degrees Celsius, a heat bulb on a dimming thermostat would be better than a heat mat.

Play sand is the only sand to use with reptiles but this species doesn’t come from sand dunes so mix play sand with top soil or just buy an arid bedding of a similar style.

Thanks and thanks for the tip 👍🏻

@@PredatoryExotics no worries loved the Greek herping vids

Thanks, because it’s for an arid setup with low humidity it doesn’t need to be sealed

Oh thanks! I wasn’t sure

Yes when tokay geckos are born they are about the length of a finger so this size enclosure would be a great grow out tank, the extra height also is great for this arboreal species.

Yes that can be an issue on some of the smaller enclosures, you have to find a small enough dome so the plastic doesn’t melt. This shouldn’t be an issue with the larger enclosures as they have ample space for large domes.

@@PredatoryExotics in your experience, is it better to group together the uv, heat source and lighting for the plants?

The plants just want the light so LED is best for the plants and depending on plant species will depend on their heat tolerance.

We have a care guide as well as breeding guides on our channel. We keep them in a single species enclosure.

They will mostly feed at night as they are nocturnal. You can watch to see if they eat crickets or monitor how many mealworms you put in a separate dish and see how many get eaten each night. Ours don’t eat off tongs so it’s mostly about making sure the right amount is put in the enclosure for them to hunt at their own will.

Thanks 👍🏻

Awesome 👍🏻

Nice one 👍🏻

I wish there was more in the hobby all over the world as I’d like to have them all 😅

Thank you, unfortunately we won’t be there tomorrow but all the best to everyone attending.

Glad we could help 👍🏻

@@PredatoryExotics Can any other scorpion species live in here? Also what type of tarantulas? Can you give me some species? Thanks!

Follow some of the tips in the videos we’ve put out where we talk about their care, group sizes and ratios and seasonal changes that could induce breeding 👍🏻
