is my asf molting or is he dying?

[greatwavex]

i arrived home on friday to find my asf in his water bowl. i don’t keep a lot of water in there as i know they could drown. his humidity is at 85, and temps stay between 70-75 degrees. i removed him from the water and he was not moving. i placed him on dry substrate. i searched the internet which said he could be molting. i checked on him saturday morning he was unresponsive, but that evening he was twitching slightly. sunday he was still twitching here and there. yesterday he was not moving, and today he was twitching slightly. could he be having problems molting or what could be going on?

Pictures please! Words can only show so much. Without seeing the scorpion it's hard to judge.

i can’t get the video to upload. i’ve converted it to .mp4 like it said, and still nothing.

I see the video. At least he doesn't appear to be at all dehydrated, which was my first thought from your description. Looks fat and about to molt, though it's strange to be totally unresponsive for this long.
Maybe others have more insights.

that’s what was throwing me off, was him being unresponsive. yesterday evening, he was still the same way, but has an occasional twitch in his stinger. it’s been 6 days now, and has me worried.

Six days is very worrisome. Sorry, not looking good. There are better scorpion experts on here than I am though. I hope someone else can help you.

no need to apologize. i’m open to accepting all possibilities. if he does pass, i do wish to preserve him, but i want to be sure of his passing before doing so.
