Hey there,

Ive had this little Dune Scorpion for around 6 months and he has been a wonderful little guy. Recently Ive noticed a spot on his tail and Im not sure if its an injury or some sort of illness. He’s been active and still eats whenever I feed him. If anyone could help me figure it out id appreciate it.

I'm not really sure, but maybe it's just dried poop? They poo out of their stingers, I usually get this with my desert scorpions.

Looks like dry poo on the top area, although in the second picture the fourth tail segment looks quite black - keep an eye on it.

Yeah that darker area does look concerning. Can you get some better images of it maybe even in a bit brighter light?
