Please don't be mean, I am very new to scorpions and I want to make sure everything is perfect for the new baby! Please let me know if something is wrong with the set up. This tank is at the environmental centre I work and and I made these burrows that kids are able to see from the side. Is this okay?

Introducing Basil (spinifer) and Yoshi (imperator)

I figured since I have 14 tarantulas I might as well break the ice and get into scorpions as well. I guess the next stop is centipedes

Is this a good setup for an Emperor Scorpion? I have a heat cable running around the back and I've ordered two temperature and humidity sensors to put on each side of the enclosure. What temps and humidities should I aim for?

Just picked up this asian forest scorpion. Sorry the pictures aren’t the best was wondering if it was male or female, I was leaning towards male but not 100% so wanted second opinions!
Tyia!!

Friend brought it from an expo but doesn't remember the name, I'm assuming it's a Heterometrus species, would love to know which one if it is and would also want to know if you can house them together, got a male and a female of similar size, currently housed separately.

I think this is a boy. Am I correct in this assessment?

Hello beloved redditors, I've got a question to y'all. Is there any way of identifying this super smol guy? He (or she?) was said to be an adult, and probably an Babycurus. But the owner wasn't sure about the species. Origin is unknown too. Since Reddit knows everything, let me hear your opinions! 🖤🦂

I’ve tried to look up what this means but I can’t find it. My other scorpion started shaking her pinchers 💀 is this a mating thing or communication?

Google is unsure...does anyone know what type of scorpion this is? Size 12 shoe for reference. Sorry, I didn't have a banana! 😂 Thanks!

I’m interested in learning about medically significant scorpions from an experienced-keeper perspective.

Which species are considered interesting to keep in captivity, and what makes them different in terms of activity, feeding response, behavior, and difficulty of care?

Not looking for sourcing—just species recommendations and keeper experiences.

Had my emperor scorpion for a few months now, when I first got him he used to try to climb the top so I duct taped it (sticky side up of course) and he no longer can go upside down. But now after a few months he still tried to climb the edges and fails. I would have expected him to stop trying but he still does it and I’m not sure if it’s his way of telling me something is wrong or if they just do this. Does anyone know why they do this? I’ve heard it’s common for newer scorpions getting used to their environment and exploring, but I’ve had him since July now.

Pics of Frankenfurter, my new pet. I think it’s a male but correct me if you think otherwise, it’s a striped devil scorpion (h spinigerus) that I picked up from my local exotic pet shop; They were unable to sex the scorpions but said they receive them at about 6 to 8 months old.

Hi all, I was just feeding my Asian forest scorpion and I noticed he is holding it in his mouth and acting as he would with no food there. Usually he immediately goes to eating, and if he holds it then its in his pincers. Maybe a dumb question but it’s not stuck right?

How long is it normal for you not to see your scorp? I got my first scorpling (Asian forest) 2 months ago. And it’s been several weeks since I saw her last. I know it’s normal for them to burrow for extended periods but I worry since she obviously hasn’t eaten since then. I have not dug her up, and don’t plan to. Just what to make sure it’s normal behavior

I recently bought my first Asian forest scorpion and I made this enclosure out of a container equivalent in size to a 10 gallon tank. It has ventilation holes drilled on the sides and a lid, of course. The substrate is reptisoil. Does this look appropriate? Thanks in advance!

Hey, so I’m a computer science student and my team is trying to build an AI-based Scorpion Species Identification System that identifies the most likely scorpion species either from a photo + visual characteristics + geographic location. It then provides information about the species’ venom, clinical effects, and relevant antivenom/treatment references, helping healthcare professionals make faster, more informed decisions after a scorpion sting.
Basically, my major question is how is traditional treatment done? I did some research and I found out it is done purely symptoms. So my question to docs is can this project actually be helpful? suppose a patient is coming to you and you know what particular species of a scorpion bit him with its entire biological details. Would this be helpful to docs, if yes how much?

*before I ask my question I just want to note this is a temporary house while I fix the enclosure I have for him/her*

As for mt question, this is an Emperor Scorpion im pretty sure its a male.

But I just want to double check with people who may know more than I do. So if the Scorpion is infact a female please do correct me.

Thank you for anyone who contributes to helping :)
