Desert Hairys & Feigning Beetles?

[Arachnid Hobby]

Some people keep desert hairy scorpions with blue death feigning beetles because they seem to have a symbiotic relationship. Should I do this? Will they eat a molting scorp?
Thanks in advance.

All reports I have heard is they get along just fine.

I haven't heard of them eating a molting scorp so I think they're fine together.

I have kept them with adults no problem.

Not sure about juveniles or sub adults tho.

I have heard they will munch on molting scorpions and have always suspected they will, but they are definitely safe with adult Hadrurus and juveniles who aren't near a molt.

yes they will kill a molting scorpion.

In reality, the scorpions are intensely stressed out by them, I used to believe they were an example of strange mutualism, but the beetles are nothing more than armored squatters barging into whichever burrows they desire
