Hi all I am new to this forum . How ever I have used it for a vast amount of reliable info and I'm after some advice my self now please . I have a emp male . Have had him for a few months . He eats when he is hungry ..drinks when thirsty and regularly wanders around his viv happily .. got him out the other night and have noticed he seems to be " walking raised " by this I mean he is tip toeing and although not agressive he is certainly more skittish . Any thoughts ?

This kind of behavior is called stilting. Scorpions do it when the environmental temperature gets high.

Possibly. What is your setup, do you have any added heat pads or lamps? That could be a problem.
