I bought a Heterometrus spinifer Sunday and when I got home I noticed he had maggots on it's left claw. They're under the exoskeleton and it stinks. I don't want to have to euthanize him and if possible not amputate the claw. I have a potato I can put in the enclosure in hopes that the maggots climb on that and I can throw it away. When I first got him he was attentive and moving around but now he's laying in a corner of his 6qt enclosure (planning to upgrade to a 16qt) with his tail laying flat. I gave him a dubia last night and I don't see it so I assume he ate it.
You can see on his left claw in this picture there are maggots at the base of the claw.
