Hi there all, a quick question

i will be buying an emperor scorpion starter kit from exotic-pets at the end of this month, and the querie that i have is this; the kit comes as below
Exo Terra Flat Faunarium - Large
Heat Mat 7x12
Exo Terra Thermometer
Exo Terra Hygrometer
Namiba Coco Brick 650g
Exo Terra small Water Dish
Cork Bark
Barrons - Scorpions Book
Tub of Crickets
Two Emperor Scorpions

The concern i have is in most care sheets a suitable habbitat for one emperor is 60x30x30, with this kit two scops are provided but the Faunarium is only 46x30x17 cm, should i avoid buying this kit due to the size of the tank in respect of keeping two scops or is this adaqate enough for them to live in harmony ?

I pre thank you for your reply's !

If you can afford it go with something bigger, if not I'd say it's probably borderline acceptable.

As long as they have enough room to be alone in their own space should they wish and room to move about without getting in each others way you should be fine.  Even with a small enclosure some creative "house" design can increase the room, rocks and such making multi level sections can help a great deal if room is at a premium.
