| I have one emp and I just bought two more. My question is how close in size do they need to be to avoide canabalism. My first emp is good sized my 2nd is only a little smaller but my third is still pretty small. | |

| There is always the risk of cannibalism during molts. If one of your scorps is significantly smaller than the other ones, it may be a good idea to separate it, particularly if it's approaching a molt. | |

| Hate to say it but I had too put them all in onr tank. Due to not having anouthr tank and because I had to be to work within a half hour of me getting home. On a good note tho when I got home my largest and smallest wetter all buddy buddy hanging out in the same hide. Lol I moved stiff around alil bit just to make sure the smallest one was not being eaten. So far so good. I will be figuring out a second task for when they Molly tho | |

| Should be fine then, just keep an eye out when the smaller individual is approaching a molt. | |

| u could put a divider in but i dont know anyone who has ever done that before, well one of my emps is like twice as small as my other emps, u cant see him in my picture becuase hes burried in the dirt but a peice of his stinger is sticking out of the dirt, hes alot smaller than all my other emps, but i never had any problems, all my emps stay in the same burrow together.... like i said hes alot smaller he still uses his stinger on the crickets and my bigger emps dont do that... | |
