    Thanks for the response, I really appreciate it. I think I got everything set up correctly for her. And as for the hooks I really don't think she has any, so its provably a lady. I'll try to handle her so I can look closely and be sure though

    Isopods

    Hey so i've meaning to introduce an isopod cleaning crew to my emp's enclosure, but my emps are not adults yet. They are probably 3i/4i so molting will still occur. Is it safe to itrduce isopods at this stage or should i wait untill my scorps reach afulthood and won't molt anymore

    Scorpions communal with millipedes?

    I'm not sure if it depends on species but I've seen some videos were scorpions and millipedes are put together and it aint pretty. Worst part is, the millipede wins. So unless you want them to fight I wouldn't reccommend it

    My first scorpions !

    Those babies are pretty fat! They should be molting soon. I remember when mine where pretty little babies. They've molted twice since and shouldn't be long before they molt again. Congrats on your scorps, it is quite something to see them grow.

    Made my first scorpion care video!

    Great video, the idea of the beetles is just incredible. Would these beetles work with emperor scorpions too? Or is there something similar that could live along the emps, clean up, and survive in the emps habitat?

    Good scorpion names?

    I got two baby emps and I'm still not sure wether they're male or female so they haven't been oficially named yet. Although I think they are both male, if this turns out to be correct I'll name them Martius and Affidius after the generals of the roman legend of Coriolanus.
