I usually feed it 3 adult feeder crickets once a week to week and half. Occasionally ornate head roaches. Should I over it a pre killed mouse or chicken liver to fatten it up?

This is the more or less the position it's been in for the past few days. Just hovering around its water dish and drinking constantly. Its sluggish but responds readily to stimuli.

I keep the humidity low but I do live in a humid part of the world. So 45% is about what I maintain. Temp is 76°

I thought that might be the case but I thought they usually buried themselves during premoult instead of being above ground 24/7 like it is now.

My heros castaneiceps has been acting strange the last couple days. usually it stays buried and only comes out to forage at night and hunt. But lately it has been out all the time and constantly drinking from the small dish of water. Its also seems more sluggish and less hostile. Its about 7...

Actually a milk cap is exactly what I use as his water dish and he is being kept at 85 degrees with humidity at about 40%. I'll try to look for a better sand. The other thing I have on hand is either pulverized walnut shells or excavator clay.

Not sure, Id say its about 3 inches long i can take a pick next to a quarter or something if you think that might help give you a size comparison

Im more worried about the spot on his leg. if it is mycosis is there any antifungal treatments that work on scorpions to stave the progress?

well I have a Hadrurus arizonensis for the last 6 months lol. But worry not these are my first scorpions but not my first HOTS.

How can you tell between an injury and mycosis?

Yea the guy said deathstalker so I figured LQ but i thought they the dark last segment on the metasoma. And the leg has a dark spot but he is moving it just fine. The scorpion i actually paid for a was a Androctonus australis and it came in upside down and i thought it was dead but it twitched...

This guy was thrown in as a freebie and hes huge! He also ate a large cricket as soon as i housed him. But I'm concerned about the black spot on his knee, is that mycosis? Also is this an LQ?

Hey guys, I'm new to keeping scorpions and just ordered a few from a guy I met at a local show. I was wondering if anyone could guess and instar and if the species/subspecies is correct. Also if they look to be in good health as it was very cold when they came in and one was on his back and...

yea we just had an expo in my town and i was able to purchase a A. Australis and A. Bicolor for $45 and $50.

No I recieved him healthy to my knowledge and have had him for about 6 months. He was sold to me on just coco fiber.

He does have a screen top and I put a light on his enclosure today to dry out the substrate

Yea hes kept on a mixture of coco fiber and sand. He has standing water that he digs under and knocks over pretty frequently. The other castineceps is kept on the same substate and doing fine
