[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 124445, member: 26980"] I can only share my experience which may or may not apply to you. I did this successfully with H spinifer scorplings BUT..... When I had 22 scorpling's by surprise from H spinifer, I obtained a 12x24 Terra Blue professional enclosure and about half a dozen hides, some cork bark, one big water dish and about 4 or 5 smaller ones. I had zero cases of cannibalism, but had to donate them to a petstore in a hurry due to the increased number of altercations that were occurring. Unless you have 100% proof beyond any doubt whatsoever that these guys can be kept together, by which I mean HQ video and photos of someone with the exact same species doing it, don't do it!! It's understandable if you can't afford 5 decent enclosures right away, but use totes or even deli cups to keep them alone. Of course as time goes on, if they're separated you'll eventually want to get something transparent that you can see them through. The one scorpling that I kept was the one that was dominating the rest. I named him Trouble and he's currently in a 4x4x4 juvenile enclosure kit from Jamie's tarantulas. These cost $9 dollars each. They come with 2 bags of substrate. I would suggest using only one for scorplings. [URL]https://jamiestarantulas.com/terrestrial-spiderling-enclosure-kit/[/URL] Here is how I did mine for my H pulchripes sling. This setup would also work for a scorpling but I'd just use one bag of substrate. Scorps can't climb glass so falling off of the ceiling is less of a problem. Using less substrate will keep them away from the mesh. [ATTACH=full]27590[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]27591[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
