[JungleGuts]

well got my scorps, heres the dune scorp setup(seems to like to sit on the arrowhead):

transfer

well i transfered my H. Spinifer out of the crappy plastic thing above^ into this 10g glass tank i found at walmart for $9.00! Ive payed over twice as much for half that size at petstores. Substrate is a little jungle earth with coco-fiber over it. The petstores live plants were dead so i may order something from black jungle. does anyone know if there are any bulbs that are good for a scorpion to fit the light fixture on top?

Your best using a heatmat taped to the side of the tank with polystyrene behind it if its not getting warm enough.

Typical scorpling setups.

1-xeric

[RottweilExpress]

Two imperators, 1.1.

Yes, I'm having slight moldproblems, but I'm currently finding a balance between ventilation, temp and humidity. Also, seen in the pic is a Bromelia orchidée, two succulus sp and a Hedera helix.

50*30*40 I'm planning to put a third imp in there. Possibly female.

Emperor tank

Here is the 20 gallon my two emperors have been living in, they seem quite happy with it. All the plants are alive and lowlight heavy moisture plants.
front view

top view

left side with their water and rock hide that the female uses

more centerd view and rock hide

right side of tank, "wetter side" with the males burrow

him comming out of his burrow to check me out while i was taking pictures

and here is just a nice view of the substrate i use,(eco-earth, reptile desert sand,which is a great "cement", and non-fertilized potting soil).

and yes their is a heat rock in their, but dont fret, only gets used when its chilly out and the tanks temp has to stay up.

what the most suitable size tank for 10 juvenile H.spinifers???

At the least, I would say a 20 regular with plenty of hiding places.
