rhamphotheca: Arizona Bark Scorpions (Centruroides sculpturatus) cuddle and glow. You should NEVER leave a blacklight on a scorpion long-term. The intense UV rays will eventually kill the nocturnal animal. Some pet stores market scorpion habitats with blacklights because they look cool, but they don’t tell you the facts. Long-term blacklight exposure will stress them out. They like it dark. (text/photo: Matt Reinbold)
