    Pandinus imperator communal enclosure

    You'll have a lot of them sharing hides and tunnels so just use good judgement. Seven inches is recommended for 1. I would say 8-9 inches you want to give them a little extra since many of them will bundle up.

    First timer keeping a scorpion

    No, not the light because you can see which pictures use flash and with and without flash I can tell it's too dry still.

    Old timer here. Even though Dante from clerks disagrees with this. In this case you do go from A() to mouth. chelicerae to anus

    Pandinus imperator communal enclosure

    For that many 40 gal minimum plenty of substrate and hides. Honestly I see the appeal of a big colony. I really do. But I'd suggest two smaller colonies to ease stress.

    First timer keeping a scorpion

    Agree with almost everything. They don't really need the water at substrate level. They'll drink just fine from any water container. But if you ever have enough room a little substrate level pool is cool you'll see them bathe more often

    Having trouble keeping humidity high

    I remember when I used to worry about humidity. Nearly drenched in water substrate is too humid. Don't worry too much about what your meter says if your scorp needs more humidity it'll just burrow deeper. Cover 90% of the enclosure you DO NOT want to cover 100% as lack of ventilation is just...

    California Kingsnake too hot

    bottle of frozen water above the tank provides a natural A/C . It will drip down some condensation water but it shouldn't be a problem if you put his water bowl right under there. *Edit: a word

    First timer keeping a scorpion

    you got yourself a girl. You're set up is much better I would even add more substrate for burrowing but I think she'll be fine. Dont worry too much about feeding they can go a long time without food just keep offering a few bugs every couple days.

    Pandinus imperator, cavimanus or is it a Heterometrus?

    Heterometrus species for sure. Doesn't look like longimanus but it could just be because they're not mature. Get rid of the wood chips and put them on moist coco fiber or peat.

    Pretty sure I was stung...

    Blacklight the room and look for the culprit if it indeed is a scorp. Depeding on the species and the type of sting the pain can last a while. I got stung by a C.sculpturatus once and acute pain lasted minutes but the over all experinece (soreness and such) lasted 2 weeks.

    What species to get? Would like an active desert species

    He's in the UK guys no Buthids. But I agree with Smokehound Smeringurus are the best. The most common species is Smeringurus mesanensis you'll find these under Dune Scorpion. I prefer Smeringurus vachoni mysefl they're bigger and faster in but not as readily avialable in the hobby. But I got a...

    Malagasy Scorpions

    They're Buthidae but they're very docile I would recommned this species as begginer they dont require the weird humidity that ankaranas need (still offer them some water they love it). I'm in the process of writting a caresheet.

    Malagasy Scorpions

    I'll be selling a few to a select few and keeping most to myself until second generation. Only people that I know are breeders will get some from the first batch.
