Hey guys just want to say what an awesome sight and i'm glad to see people with the same interests as me.
I recently (about 4 months ago) purchased an emperor scorpion from my local pet store. i'm not sure i have the best substrate, at the moment the name escapes me, but it comes in a condenced brick which you soak in hot water. it seems too textured and it seems to impeed on his movement. also i have a plastic covering in which he spends most of his time, he has not burrowed, but i think it serves the same purpose. I feed him the largest crickets and he seems almost uninterested, even scared, and takes him a couple of days to catch one. i've recently searched the internet finding pics of emperors almost seeming gorged, in retrospect mine seems thin but not emaciated. i keep him in a 5 gallon tank which i spray whenever i think of it (about once a day) and keep the temp. around 75, i also have a shallow dish for water. if any of this seems to be an incorrect method of housing an emp. could you please respond?
Thanks,
Kaiser Sose
