So i got this aquarium from a colleague at work.
I thought it would make a great enclosure for my P. cavimanus.

Some of the inhabitants:

Female:

The enclosure: 40x40x40cm

They seem to really like it.
They already dug a lot of tunnels and are very active, even during the day.

Are the plants real? Its a very cool and naturalistic enclosure nonetheless!

Thanks. No those are fake plants. I've tried real ones but they destroy them every time.:sarcasm:

Seems awesome, and although I am not educated enough in scorpions, that cage to me ALMOST looks a little small for 3 or more scorps. Are they males and females or just females? If so prepare for babies later if not already at maturity :D

Also, someone please inform me otherwise if not true, but aren't the cavimanus not nearly as communal or passive as the imperator? That might also be an issue if true. Cool cage though, love the look. Hope it works out and the scorps all live in harmony :)

Excellent specimen, and I think the cage will be fine. If you catch them fighting over territory often and it gets too violent, separate the offender. Sometimes a specimen is just an arse. I've had females of very social species eviscerate their mates and fellow females. On the other hand, I've just had larger females be bullies for the best basking areas. Keep it humid and around the upper 70s-mid80s and they'll be fine. Since you have at least a pair, have a hot and cool end for gravid females to bask, and offer a waterdish for them to drink from

Good luck mate!

I don't think there's gonna be problems. They've been together for about 2 years now and i haven't seen any aggression towards each other. There are 2 males and at least 1 female in the tank. There's also the one who had a bad molt but i haven't been able to sex that one.
