My two Desert Hairy scorpions began fighting at 2AM or earlier and fought for about an hour outside before the larger of the two fled to it's burrow around 3AM. The smaller scorpion decided it wanted to keep fighting and stayed at the entrance of the other scorpions burrow until about 5AM. After they split up, I made sure to feed the two. I believe the fighting may have been due to hunger, but I'm not sure.

I only started filming just before the larger scorpion fled to the burrow. This video shows some of the highlights. Video quality at beginning sucks. It gets better after the first shot.


PS, how do I embed the video?

14 Scorpions Eating Superworms - Pandinus Imperator

My 14 juvenile Emperors had some fun with the superworms the other day. I was practicing using new camera gear I have for shooting macro. At the end there are a few extreme closeups showing the details of how they eat.

The species appear to be the same. The male and female are not guaranteed to mate, and here, the female most likely is simply not interested! Are you sure you have a male and a female and that both are adult?

that was cool, im glad neither one seemed to get injured. to embed video, i just clicked the "go advanced" button, then clicked the little film icon, kind of middle-right of all the icons that pop up. mouse over it and it will say "insert video" then i just pasted the direct link to the youtube vid. i hope this helps!!

Here are my two female Padinus Imperator + enclosure when I first got them. I apologize for the shaky video (I was using a Flip cam w/o image stabilization). I added a little bit of Godsmack to the video for flavor.

My minions!

Did you read even the most basic information about the care of that scorpion species - or any scorpion at all? The substrate is waaaaaayyyyy to shallow, P. imperator digs!
And the hides look like a joke to be quite frank.

That was my setup initially when I first got them. It has since been changed due to the fact that one of them really liked to burrow. I will get a new video ASAP. Why don't you like the hide? The scorpions really seem to like both of them, especially the 3 level rock hide.

how do you know that say like them? because they use them?
they just use them because they have no better alternative.
a hide for a scorpion must be as small as possible. the best is when a scorpion have to dig under the hide, that he fits under it. scorpions need to be able to have contact to each side of the hide(vertical and horizontal). if this isn´t so a scorpions never feels really hided, because he have to fear an attack from the side or from above. this means permanently stress to the scorpion which decrease the life span!
here are two picuteres of my old imperator enclosure i hope this could inspire you for better keeping:




as you can see i use simple flatbarks which lay on the ground the scorpion can dig under that great tunnels which are much better hides then your bought ones.

and now to my main topic of my post, i want to show you some of my scorpion vids
- you also allowed to check out the other clips of my channel ;-)

Thank you, KDiiX. Those were most helpful. I redid my enclosure again yesterday. I went to purchase a new tank so I could be more creative with the setup. Unfortunately they were out of the sizes I was looking for.

These are abandoned Parabuthus liosoma 1.instar scorpion babies.

Along with with undeveloped embryos, they were entangled to each other and have been left on the substrate by their mum.
