This is a 1st for me as ive yet to see any unusual scorpions until now. Born without a tail but didnt seem to stop it from grabbing its food and walking around wearing its food as a cape. 20171014_200709.jpg 20171014_200406.jpg

Interesting. Will it get a tail after molting do you think?
I really doubt it and im hoping it makes it to a molt. I was shocked when it grabbed its prey and started munching quicker than all the other new babies did. The best part is watching it maneuver.... it looks more like a high speed fork lift than a scorpion lol

Is there no remnant of the Metasoma at all?

I have to wonder how it will expel waste.

There is a little nub there so only time will tell if the lil 1 will make it. I hope so
When it grabbed its food it didnt even do the motion of stinging its prey like all the others do as if it already knew "hey i cant sting it so ill just...chomp "

Wow! Super strange. Never heard of such a scorpion. Let's hope the little guy survives.

If at all possible please get a video of the little one doing this :rofl: He/she already has a fan club so I'm sure we'd all enjoy it. Really hoping they survive!

I tried getting a video of it eating and doing it's little spin but it was too blurry to bother posting I will keep trying but I don't want to disturb it too much as I want it to have a chance to make it if at all possible. I hope it can poop otherwise it probably won't make it.

Shame it was blurry, but I definitely agree, the less stress the better. Yeah, it is weird that part of the body may not be there. Hopefully it is, just not where we would expect it.

Well, my female scorpion with the damaged tail and the brood is.....

Pooping! So I've had good news on my front, fingers crossed that this little guy can poop too!

Who knew that'd be a thing we'd have to worry about with invertebrates? Whether or not they're pooping. And they say inverts are boring. ;)
