Might be a long fasting period, though I haven't heard of many lasting that long. Lighting times and types, heating methods and placement of them? Scorp been consuming water regularly? Others in the tank? substrate? approx. depth of burrow & temp in burrow? substrate is damp or wet? Mites? been changing types of foods regularly? :confused:


edw. :?

5 inches of peat = nay
mites = nope



She does however readily consume water
ill try lobster roaches when i get my order. (hope this weather clears up). She has a nice burrow too , she comes out around 3am to walk around and just keeps walking then at 4 am
nothing I left a cricket in there for four days once...

I think shes just getting old

In my own personal expieriance, my male P. imperator has fasted for about 4 months before. Male P. imperator are known to fast, and not eat as much as the female would do. Then again, you said your P. imperator was a female, and mine is a male. Just a guess!
