I have a 20L setup as a communal Emperor habitat. 80-85F, 75+%H, plenty of hides. I've had the 6" male for a month and he's eagerly taking pinkies now, about one every three days. Won't eat crix or mealworms so far. Added a 5" female and a 5" ?? (not sure yet, under hide so far) yesterday from Swift's. I'd like to get them to take giant mealworms - much cheaper than pinks, quieter than crix. But the mealworms bury themselves in the substrate right away and I don't have the time or patience to feed from forceps all the time. Can I use an empty water dish as a food bowl? How high does the lip need to be to keep the worms in and still let the scorps in? Does anyone do this? Is two feedings a week of one pinkie or three or four worms about right for this size imperators?
