Hi everyone! After two years of search I finally found an Emperor scorpion and I'll receive it within two weeks. I'm very happy about it! I'm new to arachnids, have had my first tarantula slings since May this year. I've done a lot of research about P. imperators (just imagine how much in two years ) and I'd be happy to read about your daily care of emperor scorpions.
Compared to Ts? I assume scorpions eat more often, so how often do you feed your emperor? How do you keep humidity levels up, do you spray the terrarium every day? Can I add springtails to scorpions terrarium to prevent mold issues?
My soon to come scorpion is juvenile, suspected male. I'll provide him heatlamp or heatmat, I haven't decided yet. Which one do you prefer? Tank will be about 20 gallons old aquarium which has more hight than depth so that will give a possibility for both heating solutions. However, under the coming scorpions tank there's terrarium of my cornsnake with a heatlamp above. Will that be an issue if the lamp warms up the bottom of scorpions tank?
I guess these were the main things I'd like to discuss about and I'd be more than happy to read EVERYTHING about how you folks care for your emperors. Daily or weekly! I want to be well prepared when my emperor comes
