Like Benn said, you can keep any scorp here but you need a license. Each area has its own price, from £25 to £2000+. Apparently, Chilli is stopping all oficial exports soon so there is a mad rush on to get what we can ASAP.

What a pointless thread.

I suppose there could be some connection between the width of the burrow entrance and the length of the scorpion that made it. A bit like a human has the same height as their span from left hand fingertip to right hand finger tip measuring across the body. My Hadrudus burrow's width is about the...

I think this is taking it a bot too far....... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=AtoRqWp37rI

When introducing a new scorp, I change the whole setup, moving the hides around etc.Then put them all in at once. This seems to stop the settled scorps defending their space. Just be sure the female is not gravid when you put her in, she may kill the others. Only way to be sure is to buy a sub...

Congrats on the new Corn, my daughters favourite. When it's finished soaking you'll have a good opportunity to check the water for any mites, just for peace of mind. Good luck Damo

I have 2 Emps that were bought together and completely ignore each other even when one approaches from behind and climbs over the other. A later addition was accepted, but as soon as it approached the first 2 from behind, they spun around and took an aggresive stance. After a year, they still...

That looks nasty. Whack the temps and humidity up realy high, cover the top of the enclosure in seren / cling wrap. After a 24hrs give it a small tug to see if it moves. Good luck Damo

Have you tried a 'cooling of' period where you leave the scorp completely alone (except for water changes) for a couple of weeks, then try again? If this dowsn't work, try demobilizing the locust (not nice but worth a go). Are the locusts a good size (med/large sub adult)? Damo

I bought a male emp 2 years ago and he had mycosis. I put him in a viv @ 50% humidity. The mycosis never spread. He has since moved into a communal viv, impregnated 3 females and all 3 have had healthy scorplings. The Male still appears healthy, and no other scorp shows any signs of mycosis. Not...

The first one looks to be female, judging by the genital partition being on the side of the pectines, the rest seem to be male. The pectine length may also back this up. The life span of an Emperor could be 8 - 10 yrs. Damo

I use a tile saw, any DIY fan you know will have one

Leave your water standing over night before you use it and most chemicals will simply evaporate.

Pity your not further north, I've got about 60 3i Emps and a brood of 5i Spinifers, never mind. Pandinus and Heterometrus go for about £10 - £15 ea. The set up is the more expensive part depending on how big a set up you want. Aquarist-Classifieds do cheap private sale tanks of every...

A very good point about the spinach. This should be fed as a treat due to the oxalates binding the calcium (spinach is rich in calcium) leading to about 5% digestion (as far as I remember?). I did have a UVB light but the Tribies never came out while it was on so it was pretty pointless. I dust...

I've got a couple of these and they are fantastic, when you get to see them as they are very shy. I keep them in a dark tank with plenty of fake plants for cover and loads of hides. They have a big pool which they use all the time and some branches they seldom use. The guys who bred mine say...

As soon as the female is gravid, I'd seperate her and the male. I've kept Mom and scorplings together, before. Mom kills the pray and the young eat it. I didn't have any losses, but that doesn't mean you won't. Kids would be pretty freaked out seeing Mom eating her young, if this is to be a...
