Common Name Indian Mysore scorpion
俗名：印度迈索尔蝎子
Scientific Name Heterometrus mysorensis
学名：迈索尔异距蝎
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：
一种大型黑色的雨林蝎。他们有大而重的爪子和全副武装式的外观。可能是用来展示的最好的蝎子之一。它们可以群养，但领地必须非常大。理想的情况是单独饲养，除非以繁殖为目的。不是特别有防御性的蝎子，它的毒液对人类无害。
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
对于一只蝎子来说，理想的圈养空间是18×10英寸。对于基质来说，完全覆盖可可腐殖质或70%椰土腐殖质30%兰花树皮混合物是理想的。基材最好至少有3英寸深，如果可能的话要深一些。（译注：其实这种基质定型很差，蝎子探索一阵就不会继续深挖了。想要挖洞要自己用沙和土配定型性好的垫材）应选用人造爬宠躲避或软木皮为佳。蝎子自然会在软木皮下挖洞。
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.
气候
湿度应在大约70-80%之间，不要低于70%。温度应在容器内存在梯度，热端为28℃。这很容易通过在缸一端的外壁上固定一个加热垫并使用温控来实现。探头应该在水箱内部靠近加热壁。使用数字温度计/湿度计来准确控制气候。垫材摸起来应该是潮湿的，经常用温水喷洒可以保持湿度。每隔一段时间，基材需要浇水以保持湿度。
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
迈索尔雨林蝎很爱吃，不过度喂食很重要。一周一次的猎物足以维持它的日常饮食。大蟋蟀、蝗虫和蟑螂都吃得很好，偶尔也会热情地吃掉一条大麦虫。必须有一个大小合适的水盘，随时都有干净的水。
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.
总结：
它们是极好的无脊椎动物，大多数时候数量很少（译注：国内并不是）。对于那些想要展示蝎子的人来说，这将是一个非常好的选择。它们大多在早上和晚上活动，并被安置在一个用躲避洞穴和人工植物装饰得很好的容器里，这很容易维护，而且饲养起来也很有价值。
