Hello, I had a walk in south part of Serbia, and I found a rotten log. Once I broke one piece of it, I saw scorpions in it. As a fan of insects and other similar things I took three scorpions with me. After googling I think that this is Liocheles australasiae, but I am not sure. I took a plastik box, made a good ventilation. I've placed sand as a substract (because I don't have anything else), and put some sticks and some tree crust.

I am trying to make the container be humid, and not have lots of light in it. I also found some crickets for the scorpions, and they ate them. The question is how to make my scorpions feel happy in their tank? (I
have no experience with spiders or something similar). Everything was ok for four days untill...

Everything became even better and each of them got a ton of babies and started bringing them on their back:embarrassed: Also they don'trefuse to eat right now.
Now my question is how to make some part of these little ones survive.

Can someone give me some instructions how to care about my fist scorpions?

Thanks for any replies!:D

Liocheles australasiae is from southeast Asia, so no.
This is a Euscorpius species.
Keep it slightly humid at room temperature.
Some people have success keeping them communal, so you could keep the babies with mom after they leave her back. If you want to be sure you don't lose any, best is to separate them. You can also release them where you found them if you have too many.
Feed them super small insects, like pinhead crickets, or squish insects and they will eat the insides.

Nothing to worry about. Don't stress them out too much. You could squish the prey and leave it in over night.
