What are some good communal scorpions for large groups?

[neoskoolSEGA]

On the way home from work today I hit a massive lick and found a huge tank on the side of the road. I'm pretty sure it's a 90 or 75 gallon. I have experience keeping 3 T. Stigmurus and some with Incei tarantulas. But I'm wondering what are some species of scorpion that can be kept in larger groups together?

I’ve heard you can keep Heterometrus sp. communally and you’ll most likely get baby’s if you do

Florida bark scorpions live in communal set ups better than Heterometrus. But a big tank would be the best set up for communal Heterometrus to give them the most space.

Please make sure the tank is washed out and clean before putting anything in it.

Tityus stigmurus, T. serrulatus, T. smithii and some other smaller Tityus are great for a multi-generation communal.

Centruroides spp., Heteroctenus spp. Babycurus spp. and most Lychas spp. are communal, but it’s usually best to only keep adults communally, and separate the scorplings (so pretty much all barks except for some of the Tityus sp.).

Hottentotta franzwerneri and Grosphus grandidieri are also communal only as adults.

Heterometrinae and Pandininae are usually communal in different life stages, but cannibalism can occur. There are different opinions on what is the best group formation and if you should even keep them in a group. I would recommend if you keep them communally, to separate the gravid females and let them give birth on their own. You can raise the scorplings together, and even with the mom, but I wouldn’t leave them with other adults besides their mom.

So if you want a communal breeding setup without having to do any separating, I would only choose the Tityus species mentioned in the beginning.

C. gracilis are a decent communal very fun also

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous reply;
Uroplectes spp.!
Really fun, colorful little scorpions that make a great communal as adults. I’ve heard people even have good experiences with multi-generation communals, comparable to Tityus spp., but my experience with that is too limited to recommend it. I currently only keep adults together.

Tityus smithii doesn t need separation?

Nope
