How To Care For The Emperor Scorpion Pandinus imperator

In this video I share my experiences with keeping the Pandinus imperator known commonly as the Emperor Scorpion. I break down how I care for my scorpions, how I set up their enclosures, how often and how much I feed them and many other husbandry topics. I also highlight the difference between the Asian Forest Scorpion(Heterometrus spinifer) and the Emperor Scorpion (Pandinus imperator) as well as the Red Cave Scorpion (Pandinus viatoris). If you have a P. imperator or are considering getting one in the future (or you just want to see some cool footage of scorpions)…definitely check out this video!
