T serrulatus is parthenogenic. I wouldnt euthanize them.
Tityus serrulatus Need help
- Thread starter monty_
- Start date
The humidity was the problem. I read several papers in which the research was about optimum temperature. some of the T.serrulatus in this research chose to stay in the area of 2 C.
Furthermore, given the backwards pedipalps (which indicates dehydration) the have a chance of survival by improving humidity and temperature.
Do not force feed them, this will not work. You would probably just scare them, which is stressfull. Stress in this stage, with their health can be lethal right now. Improve captive conditions and just sit and wait before feeding them.....
Good luck!

dont worry, scorpions do not move a lot, especially during the day. IMO T.stigmurus isn't very active compared to i.e. Tityus falconensis, T.bahiensis.......
They might recover at 30 C and the right humidty, keep the substrate moistened, not wet.........to mist 4 times a day is a bit much perhaps, if the substrate is moistened, it should be okay ( I mean then there is no reason to mist anymore).........
Thanks for the help. Ill try that

are their limbs all still bent back, or have they resumed normal posture and are just not moving?
Pedipalps are still bent back. But they are more active now. I even think they have moved a bit.
