I have a juvenile Hadrurus Obscurus that I recently purchased and noticed two small dot sized black spots on the body. Seems to be very small mycosis spots. I don’t have pics of the spots yet but I do have a pic of when she was first purchased few days ago.
I was wondering if mycosis shortens the lifespan of scorpions (hadrurus in particular) if it is a very small spot that doesn’t spread. If they successfully “molt out” of the mycosis damage, will their lifespans still be shortened from having had mycosis? I searched the boards, but saw many conflicting messages on whether my scorp will have a shortened lifespan from mycosis. Some seem to say if it doesn’t spread they are unaffected, while some seem to imply that it is only a matter of time before they die from having any mycosis. Anyone with experience or knowledge on this matter that could help me out would be greatly appreciated. I am experienced with forest scorpions, which I’ve had for years, so having to deal with mycosis is a new experience for me.
