they do the same things as other scorpions (eat/sleep/mate/fight)
so theyre not boring

its a nice scorp to have, specially when you see them grow up, those claws swell impressivly!

My Emp is usually mega boring. He likes to sleep, eat and poop. I just mix his cage up every now and again to make things interesting. He crawls and digs and so forth. Makes things a little more fun.

Sure ive researched, long story short, when the babies molt and leave the mothers back, you should separate the little ones until they grow. And I really like my scorps, theyre my first ones and Im planning to have other species later on, by the way, any ideas of what specie to get next?

you get loads of LOVELY and very rare Diplocentrus, Bioculus and Centruroides species in Mexico

its also very very fun to go "scorp huntin'" unless there are other dangers involved (...)

wow even more than i though:
here is a list (Erics Ythiers site): http://perso.wanadoo.fr/eycb/scorpions/ANMexique.htm

Yeah but I live in Monterrey (its a valley), its very close to the US border bout 3 hrs drive, and Im not sure what kind of species you find here in Mty, I think there are more species in places like Durango or other desert type places.

How can an emp be boring, its one of the few scorp you can acually hold. My male I admit needs a kick in the tail sometimes, but my female is very active, she comes out almost every single night and either chills in one spot out in the open or walks around exploring the tank. I can never think of her as boring, mainly cuz she's so HUGE. On a show called PetStar, they had a hermit crab climb a tight rope. Obviosly the animal isny trained and will automatically climb when it feels it is about to fall. My female emp does a similar "act" to this. When I first got her and she used to climb up the walls a few years ago, I would put a straw to her claws and allow her to make her way up only using her pedipalps. She is really cool, I dont think she is boring.
