Any advice for this?

[elliotulysses]

My two scorpions seem hell-bent on uprooting my succulent that I keep in the corner. I've found them laying on it, pushing it around, nipping at leaves. Is this a sign that they hate it or are they just really checking it out?
Also is there any way to prevent them from tousling this poor plant around?

Hi Eli,

Scorpions love tank corners. Might as well put that succulent somewhere in the middle of the tank or put the plant in a pot so it wont be easily uprooted by all the digging

Eli,

You're in luck. This frog forum has a resident professional scorpion keeper and breeder.

Neil/Togue Flicker summed up the future of your succulent. No matter how big your tank is or the caves or dens you put in the center of the tank the scorpion will seek out the corners, particularly at night. They dig in the corners for various reasons, one of them being that this area, once excavated, represents conditions found in a burrow. They may also be trying to get to optimal temperatures or moisture.

I have mostly kept and bred African desert species and they all dig in the corner. Some of my Androctonus australis have actually moved large rocks by digging around them to get to the bottom of the aquarium corner.

What type of scorpions are you keeping?

Haha, thanks. I'll make sure to move it somewhere they are less prone to digging.
I'm keeping two emperor scorpions, one of which is either overweight or pregnant

I will try to redecorate it and see if they like it more that way hah. It's sort of amusing. And here I was thinking he was an interior designer in a past life.

Tarantulas and scorpions are their own architects. Don't be surprised if their setup is bulldozed or renovated without your consent from time to time

In case anyone cares
I won the battle!
Well...for now...
But since planting it deeper and putting it in the back, they haven't messed around with it at all

[Tongue Flicker]

Haha! They know where it is easy to dig and do some reshuffling so be too complacent yet :P
