I’ve had my scorpion for around four and a half months. She’s an Asian Forest scorpion (Heterometrus Petersii) and is roughly around 2 years old.
For around the past month, maybe longer, she hasn’t been acting herself. It seems that she very rarely comes out anymore. Usually I’d hear her scuttling around at night and find substrate in her water bowl which shows that she’s been out of her hide and whatnot. But she’s stopped doing all of her normal things.
She practically refuses to eat now. Sometimes she appears scared of the food but most of the time she just freezes and completely ignores it. Whether the food is in my tweezers or it’s moving around her on the floor, she just won’t have it. I’m not sure exactly when the last time she ate was since in the end (2-4 weeks ago) I just dropped a few mealworms into her enclosure and hoped for the best because I didn’t know else what to do.
In the time that I’ve owned her, she hasn’t shown any signs of molting or pregnancy. (I’m not sure if pregnancy has anything to do with this.)
Her tank is normally around 20°C - 25°C (68°F - 77°F) and her humidity is between 60% -70%.
If anyone has any advice then that would be great! Thank you!
