| Would 3 emps be too much for a 10gal tank, or would I be better off with just 2? If so I'll probably just get 2 emps and get another arizona bark scorpion, but from what I have read, as long as there is as many hides as there is scorpions, they should be fine. Is that true?

| You could fit two or maybe three, but I wouldn't go with any more than that. | |

| two to three would be fine in there. make sure you have at least 3 hides. They will probably all sleep in the same hide together but its nice to give each one the option to get away from the others | |

| Three is fine in a 10 gallon. I've done it before with success Btw, your substrate looks too dry. You should mix some h2o in with it | |

| Do you have something on top of the tank to hold the humidity in? If not, I suggest using a sheet of glass, plastic, or maybe even some saran wrap. The glass method is the easiest. Saran wrap can become a pain in the butt. Personally I use the glass method with a bit of ventilation. | |

| My 2 sub adults live in a 95L fish tank, not sure what that is in gallons though? But is more than enough room, i know this And i hear a good rule is to add 5gal per scorp, but then im no expert | |

| Five gallons per scorp is a good rule of thumb, +/-. And I know a lot of people recommend restricting ventilation, but I really don't like it as a way of maintaining humidity because the reduced airflow can be detrimental. If you're going to be away for a long time I'd suggest investing in a false-bottom setup. They're heavy but they can keep the humidity up longer than dumping water alone can. | |

| I use cling film/saran wrap or whatever. It does the job but probably might invest in some glass, as my tank isnt deep enough for a flase bottom | |
