Sexing and Breeding Questions

[BrenPruitt]

I need help identifying, sexing, and breeding some scorpions I own I believe that they are Arizona Barks and I have 33 of them

a picture would help identify your scorpions. most bark scorpions can be sexed by there metasoma, males will have a much longer, thinner one. as far as breeding them they are communal and it will generally just happen if conditions are right

Females will be thicker with a much shorter tail. Males have really long curled tails and are thinner in body

These are the three im trying to breed I believe they are one male and 2 females. Is there an ideal ratio of male to female for breeding?

Those will be perfect . Just keep them well fed and plenty of separate hides

Ok so it is one male and two females and they are Arizona barks? And would you look at my main housing tank for advice? It currently has 7 in it

I would get the ID 100% confirmed first

Ok thank you any advice on the communal tank or is it good?

youll want some peices wood or cork bark set up vertically for them to climb, dont over crowd and feed regulary and you should be good
