Damon medius is a species of whip scorpion that requires a secure enclosure with plenty of hiding places and vertical surfaces to climb. This Ghanaian species enjoys a semi-arboreal enclosure with rocks and climbing places to explore.
Whip scorpions are unusual creatures that differ in appearance from typical scorpions. These creatures possess a long, thin tail that resembles a whip, which is a distinctive feature. Despite their appearance, whip scorpions are harmless to humans.
Ensure the terrarium is arboreal and spacious, as this species can reach lengths of up to 3 inches as adults.
To maintain optimal conditions, use a thermostat-controlled heating system to keep the terrarium temperature between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, with a slight decrease at night.
They are carnivorous and primarily prey on small insects, spiders, and other invertebrates for sustenance. In captivity, you can provide a variety of live foods such as crickets and mealworms to meet the dietary needs of Mexican whip scorpions.
