So I picked up a few scorpions at the expo. 2 hottentotta trilineatus and a Ophistothalmus walberghi.
The walberghi isn't to small I guess (not big by any means), and the breeder/seller told me it had just molted not long ago.
The two hottentotta are super small, the smaller of the two looks pretty fat, not sure if it had eaten recently, or a sign of upcoming molt? Its very lethargic, doesn't move hardly and let a cricket creep all over him. I hope its healthy and not dying on me. :-/
Is there any extra care I need to know about? I wasn't expecting them to be so tiny.
I read somewhere that small scorpions are more apt. to kill or eat each other? Should I leave them in the small deli-cups? Or just let them free in the 10 gallon. Not sure how easy it will be to find them and be able to feed them. I figure I will kill the crickets and only give them half of it at a time for now?
Just don't want the little guys to die on me.
Has for watering, should I just place a few bottle caps around with water? Or just mist?
I have done a lot of research on the two different species, just not how to care for the young.
