Facts so far:
40 gallon glass aquarium with glass top and small vent holes in back for circulation
False bottom setup
6.5" substrate - .5" of gravel on top of eggcrate and mesh for drainage, and 6 inches of peat moss/light soil mix
shallow running stream across one end that pools for awhile before draining back to false bottom to keep humidity around 80%
3 flat rocks embeded in substrate
1 cave rock on subsrate
2 cork bark caves
Temp during day varies from 89 to 82 degrees
Temp varies at night from 75 to 80 degrees
Humidity varies from 85 to 80 percent
Okay so I believe that much is correct for an Emporer scorpion and the tank has been stablizing for approx 2 weeks. Now for the questions:
1) Would I be able to house 2-3 Emps comfortably in this setup?
2) Do you have to dust thier feed once every two weeks like some reptiles?
3) What plants should I use? I need specific species so I can do the research on them please.
4) Any other suggestions for keeping a comfortable setup?
5) Anything I should change before I introduce the scorpions?
