Was thinking of getting one or 2 scorpions. Would a 18 inches long x 12 inches wide x 6.5 inches high be enough?

I was thinking of getting 2 Dictator Scorpions. But I was worried maybe 2 of them might be too much for 1 tank.

As long as the substrate is at least 4-5 inches and about equivalent too 20gal floor space will be enough for 2 emps

You'll want a deeper enclosure. You should have at least 4-6 inches of substrate suitable for burrowing.

They dig like mad those dictators. They should have called them P. Backhoensi. I have my pair on a eight inch deep substrate of cocofibre and crush fill for drainage. They lóve digging a burrow and seem to constantly be working on it

20180410_183822.jpg that cocout fibre has never molded at all. Everything seems to grow well in it and my isopods keep it clean. Under that layer is grey crush for drainage so the coconut fibre can dry out periodically.
