It looks like a blockage of the Malpighian Tubule System. Keep the temperature hot (90F-95F) with high humidty (60%-70%) with good air movement. That might be able to loosen up any waste from the hemolymph.

Bottled water is best, more specifically, Purified Drinking Water, unless you have a water filtration system in your home. If it has a high mineral content, which would vary by manufacturer if it even has any at all, the hard water stains can allow the feeder insect to climb out of the enclosure...
Looks like Heterometrus longimanus. Other species that it could be is H. petersii or H. spinifer.
H. longimanus and H. spinifer are less common species while H. petersii is more common.
It was awesome that you bought it anyway. I would have done the same thing. If it was a 2i size, the limb would grow back very little during each successive molt. Depending on how severe it is, it may not fully grow back. It will eat and mate fine.
Hi, I am a breeder and dealer of various highly venomous scorpion species aimed towards the more experienced keepers located in central United States (Sloan, Iowa). Thanks!
Yeah Stugy. LD50 is how much venom, in I think micrograms per kilogram or whatever, you need to kill 50% of a population. So if you had 100 mice how much venom do you need to kill half of them.
I think it's tree sap or amber. When I throw wood in the oven, the wood can leak with this stuff during the baking process and when it cools afterwards.
