This study explores the impact of artificial light on the mortality and growth rates of Tanzanian Tailless whip scorpions (Damon diadema), a species naturally found in low light environments. Little is known about how artificial light affects invertebrates in captivity, so we established two sets of control and test groups to explore the implications of development under exposure to lab lights compared to a low light setting. Average body size, molting frequency, and deaths were recorded to gain an understanding of how this aspect of animal care influences their health and physiology.
