I agree here. My P. imp has been an adult for about 2 years now. She's had mostly superworms, and the occasional cricket. For her speed, and uhh, lack of abilities, grabbing a worm is so much easier than a cricket. Early on, I would bait the cricket with a carrot piece in front of her hide, giving them reason to pass in front of her. Boy, that got old, especially with male crickets.I really don't see why fat content is a huge deal in any invertebrates food. In fact, I think the more fat and protein the scorpion consumes the better. All the fat does is just get converted (albeit slowly) right into energy the scorpion uses to grow. And since we're talking about P. imperator, that could mean that the more fat and protein would make a much larger scorpion as long as it's still growing.
So yeah, feed all the mealworms you want. People are pretty quick to say that too many fatty feeders are "bad" for scorpions, but really all it is is stored energy from the feeder which is passed on to the scorpion, which I'm pretty sure can't re-store it. With that said, a scorpion can appear to look "fat," but that doesn't mean it's fat itself, it's just overfed.
...Kay, you do realize that means it's happy right? Emperors usually don't come out to wander. They like to stay hidden.My Emperor never comes out...the lights are almost always off downstairs, even when I'm at the computer, there's only the screen light, but it never seems to come out. It's always where the heat pad is as if it as cold at all in here.
