Hello.
Last night, I tucked my in scorpion (not-so-aptly-named Leonidas) and threw a cricket in there as well, although I did not expect him to eat it, as the cricket was roughly twice his size, but I didn't have any smaller insects available just then. But, as I checked in there today, Leonidas has vanished completely and the cricket lies dead.
Now, I am not exactly sure what the technical term for Leonidas' race is, but at the store, in Melbourne, Australia, they called him/her a "Flinder's Range Scorpion". Is it at all possible that the cricket had a go at him and devoured him/her? I know that they eat each other sometimes, after all. I know that escape is definitely not an option, and I have searched every nook and crevice, filtered the soil, everything! And I'm just a complete loss here as to what could have happened...
Thank you for taking the time to read, at least, and hopefully, you can shed some light on this strange occurrence for me.
