I just tried posting this but I don’t know how to use Reddit ans couldn‘t add text + photo but essentially I think my scorpion is dead and I don’t know why? I got him two months ago, H. cyaneus, I keep him in an 45x30x30 enclosure, 24-26c and 75-85% (I mist once to twice a day). He was fine in the morning but like an hour ago, I noticed that his tail was outstretched and he was moving clumsily when I nudged him. Now he doesn’t move at all. He‘s my first scorpion but I‘ve been keeping tarantulas for 5 years now and I don’t understand what I could have done wrong? Or is this old age?

If all goes well I could be obtaining a deathstalker in a few days, currently have an h. Silensus and two c. Vittatus, so I'm aware of the most basic scorpion care, I know that deathstalkers are medically significant. Just wondering if there's any special requirements as well, It's supposed to come with an enclosure so I'll take a photo of it's setup if I do end up getting it.

I know some species of scorp require higher temps, I can look up care guides but I like to see how people take care of theirs since care can vary between owners.

My day has been going oddly well, this was a species I was looking at since I posted asking about species suggestions.

Looking For Some Baby AFS in Chicago area does anyone know a spot ?

I’ve heard that the sting is actually used as a pain remedy in some areas but I also read something where a person said they got tagged and it was pretty painful?

Still SUPER new to keeping scorps but, with my AFS today hes been extremely active even crawling up against the glass (not like he made it very far up the glass) But I was just wondering if this is normal behavior

I’m located in California. I cannot seem to find an adult female emperor anywhere. Does anyone know of any sites? I can definitely patiently wait for my next local reptile show and hope for the best but it’s taken me two years to find a male 😭 please help!

Hi everyone, I’ve had a juvenile flinders range scorpion now for a few months. and about 4 weeks ago it sealed off the entrance to its burrow and it hasn’t made an appearance, I assumed this was normal behaviour. I make sure there’s moisture in there every now and then. But how much longer should I leave it before checking if it’s still alive? Is this normal?

I in the past i use to keep asian forest scorpions about 10 years ago, thinking of maybe getting another, however the crickets i use to use, never really liked the smell and now moved to a flat, so the idea of escaped crickets isnt to appealing. I am wondering what other foods would be good.

I had the idea of washing worms then getting some plastic business cards, putting a elastic band around it and putting a earthworm between the elastic band. however i dont want to buy a scorpion and doing something that may be detrimental to the scorpion . So has anyone tried earth worms?.

Kind regards, Rick.

Little bro is on lookout lmao, on a side note would there be any reason hes burrowing around under his drift wood and not sitting under his usual slate rock cave? None of his tank conditions have changed and is a super responsive hunter and eater usually super active at night but then sits under his slate in day, is his daylight cycle a bit messed up?

Can anybody happen to tell whether my emperor scorpion is male or female?

He Hasn’t moved at all since got fight with another AFS I’m thinking he’s dead 🥺

We have found a few outside, this one found its ear inside. Is this normal to see so many in a residential area? We are by the old orange groves.

Sub adult Emperor Scorpion: i think it’s Female but i’m not sure. Sorry for the bad picture! Second opinions?

Hey there folks, figured this would be the place to ask this, get some input since it’s couldn’t find anything much useful scouring google. Any sure fire way to tell the two apart? They look very similar to my eye.

Got a Vietnam Black Forest Scorpion yesterday, and hasn't eaten at all. From what I have googled it seems as it is going into molt but not 100% sure. Sorry for the bad picture.
