I awoke this 2:30 am to find the horrific crime scene below. The scorpion above was one of three(3) "Death-stalkers" i received from Big Apple Herp the other day.
I keep a 10 gallon aquarium w/ four(4) scorpions total (3 now) Did one of the other scorpions do this???? Have you ever seen/heard of this before? I named her Marilyn Monroe because she never hid in the many hideaways the cage provides but instead would hang out front and center on full display which in itself was odd..
Also odd was her tail, it seemed damaged or something because she wouldn't raise it up even if provoked and her general demeanor was groggy and slow such that I worried she might be sick or injured (perhaps during shipping?) I've just recently begun raising these creatures so I dont know a whole lot about what fates may befall them along the way but I've never seen/heard/read about this type of thing and I would obviously love to avoid this experience in the future if possible so I'm doing my best Colombo impression and trying to get to the bottom of this murder mystery. Any ideas guys/gals/alien-human hybrids???
I'm pretty sure it wasn't suicide or self mutilation but what about one of the meal-worms that I've put in the cage for food? Crazy I know but there WAS one right by his tail when I discovered the body . It seems far fetched I know but perhaps he was the culprit? Could the tail have been damaged badly enough that the mealworm was able to make a meal of Marilyn's tail? This is driving me crazy. Who killed Marilyn Monroe? Inquiring minds want to know.
