I don't know their exact lifespan, but I would be astonished if it were under 4 years.

places like this seem to state that they're biannual, i'd love to hear about if that changes at all in captivity though.

Always wanted to pull the trigger on scorps. To short of a lifespan though.

thats a pretty broad generalization

Some species of scorpion can live up to 30 years! Hadrurus Arizonensis can live up to 25 years!

For arachnids, they are fairly long-lived.

Dam man, that a lot of scorpion but I think there’s a problem. All the scorpion are out and that not normal they should be in their burrow to stay safe, I think it’s that they don’t have enough heat that why it comes out to get the suns heat and obviously there’s no sun. So you gotta add heat pads of lamps at the side of the enclosure. Keep the temperature around 75-85 I think for tropical species

This the gravel good and healthy? Cause usually we don’t use gravel cause it can kill the scorpion unless it’s safe. Someone double check for me pls

It is sand. Not gravel. Just look larger because of close up. The scorpion is still approx half inch body length.
