Scorpion:Tank Ratios

[kitty_b]

I've read that the recommended space for a single emperor scorpion is 10 gallons, but that groups can be housed in larger environments.

What are the acceptable limits for a 20 gallon tank? 30 gallon? I have absolutely no interest in over-crowding my sweeties when I eventually get them.

In a 20 probaly 2-3 or so, in a 30 probably 4-5, you can probably fit quite a bit more than that but if you want them to each have plenty space I would stick to those numbers.

I agree, I think the large space is a safety precaution you coudl feasbly fit many many in a smaller space, I keep 2 in my 10 gallon, soon to be 3.
