4 inches? 12cm?

Waaaaay bigger. Especially for those numbers.

Give every individual, of any species, a space for privacy. Should be a rule.

I don't even keep small species of isopods that cramped.

Also, 50 adults plus 50 juveniles (that will become adults, nevermind the usual expanding of populations) doesn't equal 30. Probably some more reading is required :)

At that point just turn a small room into an entire enclosure... 100 scorps is crazy! :embarrassed:
Hope he’s got lot of shelf space my 20gal sits empty because my racks aren’t big enough. And that tank probably won’t fit 100 scorpions if it does I don’t know 🤷 ….

No, not 20 gallons. 4x4x7 inches is 0.48 us gallons. 1.84 liters.

Tiny. I drink that much water before work.
