[QUOTE="Tgotty90, post: 124451, member: 8413"] Thanks for the input. Im pretty positive I should be able to keep these guys together with out a problem. Everything I've read says this species can be kept together as adults. My dealer said as long as they're well fed they shouldn't bother each other and to just remove the females if they are gravid, im well aware there's still a risk of cannibalism but im not worried it that much, just a little currious on if I should feed each specimen before introducing them into the same habitat or should just have prey available as soon as I put them all in? I plan on keeping them in a 32qrt tote or bigger so they will have plenty of space. Im going to use a sand coco mix for substrate and will have plenty of hides so that each one as a few different places they can get away to. I am a little concerned about the fact that this species can reproduce without a male present, so I could end up with a lot of baby scorps, but my dealer assured me if this happens he can always take any offspring from me and possibly even buy or trade me for them so that could be a bonus in the long run, but even if I just have to donate them, still makes me feel better knowing I have somewhere they can go if this dose happen.
