more noob questions :)

Here are my current two ponders... I like to play metal music in my room, sometimes loud... does music bother Emp's at all? What about vibration from speakers?

Second, I'm going to assume they clean themselves? i caught my Emp doing this weird thing where he was putting like half of his claw through his mouth or whatever, like over and over. At a glance i thought he was munching on a cricket, but when I looked closer, he was totally making out with his claw lol. Anyway, another "is this normal" one for you all...

Scorpions as you probably know are relatively sensitive to vibrations... However, many scorp owners play music just as you do or have the tv on loud but it never seems to bother the scorps at all.

Unless your viv is right next to the sound speacker system, then I'd say the emps will be fine.

Some people have actually found that when they play their music loudly, sometimes their emps will come out of their burrow to "check it out".

Yes, they do clean themselves which looks exactly as you described. Another thing they seem to do then cleaning themselves is to rub their legs up and down against their body.

Regarding the cleaning, I'm glad you mentioned that... he did have himself propped in a awkward position, doing that with his legs, and I was certain something was wrong with him, it just didn't look right. Good to know I have a healthy Emp! He slept all day in his new nook, and then around midnight, he was cruisin around, taking a little bath, etc, so from what I've been reading, it sounds like he's a happy camper.

If they're coming out "check something out," then it's obviously a disturbance to them and would best be avoided.
