Hi guys, new member here from the UK.

Just showing off a couple of my scorpions.

This is my female emperor and my tiny H.Spinifer, hope you like them :)

I guess I might have to be that guy. First, Welcome to the hobby!

Second, I'd like to suggest switching your emperor scorpion's substrate out for something more loose that can hold moisture well. These guys love to burrow in some good, moist soil. It also appears from the picture you've taken (it's kind of a tough angle) that your emperor isn't yet mature, which means it would definitely benefit from a nice, humid cave in the ground in which to molt!

Your little Heterometrus looks great, but the same thing goes for him(her)as well! Keep the humidity relatively high 80%+ and a good few inches of burrowing substrate for each scorpion.

I hope I don't come across as rude, I'd just like to see your little scorpions thriving!
