AFS Not eating.

[MatisIsLoveMantisIsLyf]

My asia. Forest Scorpion hasn't eaten in 2 weeks. I usually feed him 2 critters, but 2 weeks ago I gave him a large dubia, which I suppose he hunted down and ate. (the dubia wasn't in the tank at the morning).
Is he just not hungry? The dub is was quite a meal for him. He also got a rehouse yesterday.. He is an adult so I doubt he will molt.

Heterometrus spp. are not always the best of eaters.

Its normal.. specially for an adult. They can go weeks / months no food

Yeah I've read that they can go 1 year without food or water

I'm texting you from school, but I will upload some images later * he got a 6 gallon tank (37*27*27). 3 inches substrate and a water dish. He gets misread once per day and has 1 hide in the tank.. I used to have a wooden hide (real wood) but it got moldy very easily, so I just changed it to a piece of marble.

Sounds like conditions are fine.. try not to over dampen the susbtrate and make sure to do a lot ot cleaning.. high humidity scops attract a lot of mold especially when left over feeder parts are lying around

I've had some refuse food for 8 months straight. I only offer adults food every 2 weeks. Nothing to worry about.
