Default My Emperor scorpion tank.

I recently became the proud owner of 2 emperor Scorpions!
I keep them at 80/85% humidity and 80/85 degrees F. most of the day, with the aid of a red 40watt repti bulb and misting when I see fit.#They're in a 10 Gallon glass tank with a screen lid, 2 fak plants a log hide and shallow water dish, I use Eco Earth as a substrate, Higher on one side.
When I introduced them to the tank they started digging on the shallow side under the plantso After moving the plant to the other side of the tank beside the log, digging stopped on the shallow side of the tank.
Now they've burrowed down a bit and 2/3 way along the front with the end of the burrow being at the base of the tank (the glass) and large enough for the 2 of them to fit into snugly. Hope it's ok for them to be touching the glass at all times?
I hope that I packed the earth firmly enough so it won't colapse!! :confused:
I might think about moving that water dish to the back right hand corner also for fear of them burrowing under it anytime soon...

Here's some pics of the Tank and they're belies!
