I got these beauties last week, Initially I was going go try see if I could successfully cohouse them but the more I learn the more I want to separate them so I'm waiting on some new enclosures go arrive to split them.

As I'm quite new to scorpions, I wondered are any of these gravid or are they just overweight/getting ready for shed? 20220519_221703.jpg 20220519_221647.jpg 20220519_221640.jpg 20220519_221636.jpg 20220519_221619.jpg 20220519_221610.jpg

In the wild observations. You can co-house them as they are insectivores but they are quite capable of ripping off each others legs, accidental or incidentally. The hunters and illegal animal dealers co-house them quite often and the tourist traps display large tanks with numerous specimens for the idiots to ogle over. But come mating time, the end of summer, the males may go into competition mode. Just keep in mind, in situ they are always solitary.
