anyone have experience keeping them? saw some when i was fishing the other day and i have a empty ten gallon tank right now... thought they would make a cool addition... cant seem to find a care sheet anywhere either, ideas?

Are you speaking of Paruroctonus boreus?
I have no idea as far as care, just try to replicate the natural habitat!

ya that looks right... i was fishing with some friends and found a couple, they just called them northern scorpions so i was going off that.. i think im going to use gavel and some dirt to give em a couple mounds to burrow in and some rocks and branches for cover, a small t5 light and feed meal worms and pinhead crickets... should i get a heat source or will it be fine at room temp cause its already from the area? that was more what my question was...

most scorpions thrive as long as the temp is above the low 80's.
