Found huge cricket

[Potato]

I just found a huge cricket that was twice the size of other fully-grown crickets and had some black body parts. Is this thing okay to give to scorpions?

Probably not. It might have come in contact with pesticides, or even have some parasites.

i second that. as a general rule of thumb never feed wild caught prey to anything in captivity. you can introduce poisons, parasites, and deseise.

breeding your own prey is by far the BEST thing you could do for the health of your scorps

yeah just steer clear of wild prey for your T. Ive heard about ppl kkeping wild prey quarantined for a few days and watching them for signs of exposure to pesticides, but it seems like alot of work for nadda.
