new scorps

yeah ive heard of rankins but i prefer beardies lol and frilles are way cool i like how frillies can run on ther back legs and puff up there frill around there neck .they reminde me of a smaller verson of that dinosaur out of jurrasic park the one that spits poison lol and as a kid i always wanted a dino and frillies are prob as close as u can get lol .i have also had a royle python but not really into ts .but i do like the coulors of the p.mettalica and colbat blue ts they are defo nice lookin ts

by the way just had a look at my two emps under there hide and one is sat on top of the other is this normal the poor guy looks like hes gettin crushed lol

Yeah Rankins and Frillies are cool not sure if they tame down as well as beardies though. If I had the space I'd probably have a frilled but they like bigger arboreal enclosures.

I'm sure the scorp underneath would move if it had a problem with it.

Hey Shanos

Glad to see you're on this forum now, this is Dual by the way
Looks like you've gotten a lot of help too. And like Jamie said, don't worry about them being on top of one another because grouped ones will normally do that from what I've seen.

As for frilled dragons, I always think about that Jurassic park scene too lol

Yeah same here, some can be as tame as one of those too! lol although the frill and spitting of Dilophosaurus is completly fictional in Jurassic Park.

lol that scene always remindes me of frilles lol ive heard they have a big attitude for a smalish lizad lol .on another note my new scorps have started to fight each other i hope they just workin out which one of them is gonna be top dog they have stung each other a few times a hope they just stop and settle down soon . and hi dual pal u were right this site is a lot more active then the other . back to my scorps wot should i do when the fight should i leave them to it and let them work out whos boss mor should i stop the fight .any help would be great .

You should definitely observe them and see what they do . if they dont stop fighting than you should seperate them but i would wait a few days. how many hides do you have in your tank? they might be fighting over territory and if one loses he might go into another hide maybe. i dont know.

i have two hides at the min one on each side do u think i should put a third one in they were sold to me together and the first two days i got them the were together costantly they just lock claws and sting each other then break it up and go into ther seprate hides they only started doin it yesterday so wonderin if one dont wanna share the hide cause it only happens when one goes near the other hide

from what i know scorpions are territorial. Is one hide on the warm side and the other on the cold side? this could be why the other scorp keeps coming back

yeah ones on the warm side and the others on the cool .i thought emps were communal would u suggest putin a third hide in and puttin two on the warm side and one on the cool

yes in my opinion that would be the best choice. they are communal but sometimes they do fight over territory. i am not an expert so you should wait for someone else to say something but putting two hides on the warm side would be a good idea in my opinion

ok mate thanks for the advice i will sort out the third hide as soon as possable

our emps used to fight all the time for the first few weeks they then settled in the same burrow together which the female had made but still had the odd scuffle never anything serious though, you should have one more hide than you have scorpions

thanks bex am gonna go and put another in soon

out of curiousity whch hide are they both going for? the warm one or the cold one?

there both going for the warm one

Two hides on the warm side sounds like a good idea then, just to give them the option.

nice one thanks guys and gals gonna sort somethig out for them i havent seen them yet today so hopefully no fights today

+1 sounds like they just wanna be warm lol

yeah lol the kids have got some candy floss in plastic cups gonna get them to eat one and then cut a side of and use one of those burried under the coco fibre just till i can get them something more permenant lol

well i think my emps have settled down a bit because at first they were very active and always exploring evan in the day time i havent seen them in two days so think they prob setteld in properly and i havent seen them fight since two days ago as well so hopefully thats the end of that

Glad to hear it! Im sure they are very happy

A hidden scorp is a happy scorp!
