My scorpion has two good legs on his right side and three on his left -though one is missing it's lowest segment-, with stumps left over from the others. He also has difficulty opening his left pinchers. The store of which i bought him had many scorpions together in one 5 gallon tank. He now lives alone in a 10 gallon tank and only measurs up to 5 inches. In the few, mayby five, months I've had him he has yet to molt and i have no idea how old he is.
Because i also have a lizard and frog i breed dubia roaches, which i feed to the scorpion. He eats in a seperate tank lined with felt. I often have to hold the roach in front of him for him to eat it. He has never once used his stinger but seems to feed fine, primarily with just his right pincher. He seems incapable of hunting on his own. He is however active at night and often hides under his log or fake plant, though he has never burrowed.
My questions:
Are roaches a good staple or should i be using crickets?
Will this co-dependant feeding process inconvenience any future molts?
Molting tips in general.
He is my first scorpion so any tips will help. Thank you all so much.
