Is Tityus stigmurus cohabitable with Porcellionides pruinosus (powder orange isopods)?

[kevyig]

I am getting my first TS scorpion and I can see that the similarity in color of this species with the powder orange isopods which I already have (an orange body with black line in their spine). So I wonder if it is possible for these two to live together and for the isopods to scavenge for their leftovers.
However, I came across a thread about an issue with TS cohab with Powder Blue isopods (just the same as orange). Basically, the OP stated that their springtails are eating their molting TS because he found it dead, he also cohab them with the powder blue isopods and people in the comments are suspecting that the culprit in this case is the isopod.

I want to make sure this won't be happening to my future TS colony, if there is anybody who have tried this combination and it worked or have any knowledge about it, please let me know in the comments.

I don't think it's a good idea personally. They are more of a problem the solution for a scorpion setup. Especially the molting process. It will only stress them out and then eventually kill the scorpion and then now the ispods have more food. I have springtails in my AFS and whip enclosures and have never had a single issue.

It's fairly well documented that this is one of the more protein loving isopods, so multiple people have had similar experiences with this species in particular.
Isopods can be a good scorpion clean up crew, but you need to choose the right species. Dwarf whites are always the safest option.

I had them in my Tityus stigmurus communal.
Would not recomend it.

When a Scorp is molting, those f***ers start munching on it.
I saw two times how they killed a freshly moltet adultsize scorpion. Then i tooked everything out and fried the soil in the oven an washed the enclosure woth hot water, bevore i puted the scorpions back.

And now for the first time i have babie scorpions, that don't magically disappear.
