I have discovered a mite infestation on my newly aquired Vaejovis spinigerus. At least I know now that the mites I had previously been worried about were just substrate mites.
They are congregated on the underside of the metasoma in the joints. All neatly piled together looking like a bunch of beads. I have quarantined the the scorpion. Hopefully, they have not had time to spread yet.
How do I destroy them? She recently gave birth and has about 30 or so young on her back. handling her is very difficult so I am not sure what to do. All help appreciated!
