Hiya
A whip scorpion (damon viagratus i think it is) arrived this morning, a good friend sent me it, and I know that the scorp's condition ha snothing to do with him. Anyway, it arrived pretty de-hydrated and 'stale' ; i though it was dead when i saw it. After spraying it it slowly began to 'drink some water' so I placed it in a warm dark area inside a humid ICU setup.
6 Hours later now. It's improved, it will respond to contact in that if I touch it, it withdraws the area that is touched, but no actual 'movement' yet, other than constant drinking from a wet bit of tissue ive gave it to drink from
Any advice? By the time i reply again it may well be dead, but I'm hoping not. Thanks for any advice anyway
