One heat pad should be enough to keep it hotter than 60f (depending on the enclosure and your house). How do you have the heatpad attached? You should place it on the back of the tank (not bottom) and insulate it. Use either emergency blanket (costs 99c) or styrofoam to keep the heat in.

I have 14 juvenile Emps in a 20g Long tank. You can always see a couple at any given time. I'll have to remove some as they get bigger, but I think it is going to be a great communal display.

Why isn't this a sticky?

I placed a culture of Armadillidium pill bugs in my communal tank. There are still many young ones if you dig, but all of the adults were eaten. 14 scorplings will do wonders at keeping isopod populations down! I am going to try to introduce springtails and jungle micropods next. I'd love to...

Thanks, everyone! I am going to put a culture of springtails in the tank, and then culture the isopods in a separate tank to be introduced once I have more.

When my emp gave birth I counted approx. 10-15 on her back. She had an elaborate burrow, and I didn't think I could remove them without digging the whole thing up. I ended up letting them stay in the burrow for 6 months before finally removing them all. I would send half-injured crickets down...

My two Desert Hairy scorpions began fighting at 2AM or earlier and fought for about an hour outside before the larger of the two fled to it's burrow around 3AM. The smaller scorpion decided it wanted to keep fighting and stayed at the entrance of the other scorpions burrow until about 5AM. After...

Is there any disadvantage to micro fauna diversity in a scorpion enclosure? Can i just add both?

I currently have a 20L enclosure with 14 P Imp. scorplings in it. I've been working to keep the moisture up and the mold down, but it is a constant battle. I had a colony of full-size isopods, but all of the adults were eaten by the scorplings. I'm considering introducing either Springtails...

Keeping a hot species like this would be reckless in my opinion.

Somehow "climb" turned into "cbeing". +1

I'm not sure about the health of the scorpion, but I'd say the girlfriend who buys you a death stalker for Christmas is a keeper!

I hold a Tupperware container with tongs and coax it in using an unpitted glass rod (the type used to stir chemicals). I also don't remove them from their tank unless the Tupperware container has the lid securely locked in place. Also, with scorpions that burrow I will coax them out and then...

Well, it sounds like you live in a place where you could grab a black light and go find a few more!

I assumed you had them in a hot box with the size that they were. It sounds like the temp and RH aren't bad though. I've always heard of Emperor brood sizes being between 8-20. That is quite an impressive group you have! I weigh them with a cheap digital kitchen scale and calibrate it with a...

How many total? I had a brood born on May 26th that I just recently moved as well. I thought I only had 5-10 until I dug them all out and found out there were 14! How hot have they been and how often do you feed them? They look HUGE! My largest is only 0.115oz and most are around 0.5oz (the mom...

That is the most long-winded question I have seen on this forum. The majority of it isn't even relevant. Do we really need to know that you have to wear a robe because your energy-efficient heater doesn't keep the house warm because your region is colder than normal? Your scorpion was acting...

This is genius!

Actually, there were no questions. I made the label online and just went in and dropped off the box.
