Default scorpions

i really really like scorps, but i know nothing about them really. first i would like to know what would be the best for beginners and what there minimum cage requirements are (is a 1ftx2ft tub ok?) also can you house them together?

thanks a lot

ive heard that emprorers are better as they are big and docile also there sting is just like a bee sting (i dont know what its like for other scorpions) they're also relativley easy to get hold of and inexpensive. i would love to have one.

if your looking for a cheap scorp ie. one that doesnt require all the heater and thermostate crap or a large tank look at the scorps from chili atacama reds, north scrubs etc your can buy one and a set up for less then £20 they dont live as long as an emp but they sting to kill all their prey and are great to watch unlike an emp that rarely comes out and even rarer for you to see it kill something......

Emps are the best beginer scorp. They can be kept together (as long as enough food, space and hidess are available). They Don't need lots of space. You could keep one in a 30x30 tank without any problems.
