alright.. well I HAD 89 H.laoticus together in a tank. adequate space and food. and a few have molted without problems.. however.. it seem that they changed their mind about the smallest of the group.. who was half devoured after molting over night.. the remaining portion of the body is still stinging away and has not even hardened yet. it was a couple instars behind the others and perhaps that is why. I was just wondering if anyone had an idea as to why they would just decide to eat the little guy and not bother the others that have molted.

It is always risky to house scorps communally, and mixing different instars makes it even worse. I would raise them first to 6th before I put them all together.
