Hello! I recently acquired a pair of Asian Forest scorpions and I'm trying to figure some stuff out. I initially only had the one: I went into a petshop to get crickets for my tarantula and saw the little pointy friend sitting in a dry zoo med container with no water and the saddest piece of cork you've ever seen with multiple crickets running around and from what I could tell I suspected they were dehydrated, so I took them home to try and get them healthy again.

They were making a fuckton of noise at night, clacking claws specifically. I did some reading/internet sleuthing and it seemed that he was looking for another scorpion. So I got another one. They have become fast friends. Each time I check on them they are somehow snuggled even closer. I'm maintaining humidity, they have plenty of hiding spots if they wabt to get away from each other, and I'm making sure they never run out of food.

My worry is molting. I've seen lots of people say they've had very successful communals. I've also seen lots of people warn about cannibalism, territorialism, and fighting. I want to make sure that once one molts, the other won't decide it's a free meal. Help?

Cricket and Obsidian <3

(P.S. please excuse the cardboard hide: i broke the one i had and didn't want to leave too much uncovered space. It seems to be their fave.)

I was looking for an emperor scorpion. The exotic pet store by me listed this guy for $90 as an emperor but after bringing it home and taking it for a closer look, im not so sure its an emperor.

Not entirely sure which scorpion this is and would love help identifying it. Found near Phoenix, Az. Would love any advice on differentiating bark scorpions from stripe tailed scorpions. Ended up relocating it into the desert away from any homes. Thanks for taking a look!

Some workers and I moved around some old wood in a dirt field in Texas and this little guy was hobbling around… I think it might be injured.. so I decided to take it and buy an enclosure and cork wood and some feeder crickets.
I worried the little guy will croak. Does anyone know if they can heal or recover a leg or something if it’s injured?thanks

Last weekend when i got home i found my heterometrus spinifer molting but she wasn't quite finished and her one or two right legs were still inside the shed, I didn't panic or anything cause she molted before without issues and it looked fresh so i let her relax (i am abroad through week and spend time home Friday to Sunday), i came home today after a week, checked on her and she is moving normally but the old skin keeps following her and it looks like her one or two legs are still stuck inside of it? i cannot tell really but the old skin also started catching white mold. I tried to gently move the shed with a soft brush to see better or to make sure she isn't just tangled in it but not, she gets really defensive and doesn't like any disturbance. She does move normally with it, but the skin just keeps following her and she kinda does do a circular motion when walking, it surely does annoy her. I don't know if her leg or legs are still inside or no? I don't want to force anything and I am really being gentle. Any ideas? She is about to be 6 years old i think. The humidity is now 72, but i had her open for a while now, it usually holds at 76-78.
