Hey all forgive my total ignorance on most scorps, my only one at the moment is a heterometrus spinifer (I do have other exotics and Ts). I had something in mind I thought might be cool, wanted to get some opinions.
I've heard that some species of scorpion can be kept happily is a communal tank, I was considering something like a 55 gallon display community scorpion tank. If this is a bad idea all around, I'll drop it all together, just thought it might be cool in the future.
What I was wondering if it were possible, is what species will coexist with others of their own? (I'm assuming scorps won't he happy with a multiple species setup, correct? Or are some genus ok with each other?)
I was also very worried about height. I use sterlite for my scorpion at the moment, what is a dangerous fall for these guys? I was thinking half of the 55 full of substrate, and some decor for climbing, but is that going to be dangerous?
How many scorpions do you think an enclosure this size could house happily? (I realize I'll need to modify the tank to fit husbandry of species/ genus selected)
Will I have to keep an eye out for aggression and/or canabalism? Or will a well fed "colony" be content with each other?
Thank you for your time!
