[QUOTE="kormath, post: 76165, member: 4199"] True emperors have been banned from importing to the US. What we get now are red claw scorpions being passed off as emperors. They're a bit smaller and a bit meaner than the true Emperor. I think i'll go with the H. arizonensis. I read the AB care thread, seems to be pretty much what i was thinking of doing after reading other care sheets. Keep it dry, mist to help molts and make it rain every few months, kinda like Arizona ;) All i need is the substrate and that i'm thinking is about 30% clay and 70% sand or so. I'll have to order cork bark as i'm about out from the last few rehouses and teenage son ;) but I've got the rest, x-large KK for the enclosure, should work for it from now until old age. Roach colony going strong for food, food should be 1/3-1/2 body size so they can clamp down on it so any of my roaches except the pinheads will work for that. maybe this is the answer to the small group of Dubia that I've been keeping as pets as none of my T's will eat them ;) I'll have to look at more desert scorpions if i decide to get more. Like the T's I raise i prefer them to be comfy in my setting, and i don't have the means yet to set up for a humidity and heat required species. [/QUOTE]
