I had spent all day setting up a tank for my first scorpion(s). I've been talking about it constantly for days. My husband brought me home an emperor tonight! I was going to wait a few days until I was sure my setup was good, but I think my husband saw my anxiousness.
I'm not sure if it's a male or female. I don't know how old it is, but am pretty sure it's not an adult. (Novice guesses based on two things: It's not as big as adults I've seen. It's telson is a yellowish and I read that means it's still immature. Confirmation on that?)
The first thing it did was to crawl under the fake log hiding spot. But.. soon after "he" came out and actually went to the water dish! I was really surprised to see so much activity right away. Fascinating to watch him drinking. (Maybe a bit dehydrated from the store?)
Then he went back under his log. Just a bit ago he came back out and investigated the entire tank. He even went into the little flowerpot cave. I didn't expect so much activity the first day. I think he likes everything. The temp is good, humidity high.
I'll stop babbling like a child soon. It just was a great way to spend my night. Little things make me happy.
