Many scorpions can be kept together in a tank providing they are the same species and they have enough space and hides for all the animals however, black forest scorpions can be violent and cannibalistic if they feel threatened so care should be taking if deciding to cohabit this species. Provide multiple hides and plenty of food for all when feeding.

Vietnamese scorpions prefer a forest type habitat with peaty substrate and plenty of natural resources such as moss, dry leaf litter and bark.
