Freyja, my female Emperor, was wounded on the base of her tail about a week ago. The wound occured when Thor, my male Emperor, grabbed and dragged her backwards into his burrow when she climbed over the entrance to it. I happened to witness the event and was able to rescue her.
Freyja is the most gentle scorpion I have owned and never pinches when you pick her up. Calm and friendly are the best words to describe her.
Thor, on the contrary, is quite aggressive. You can't go near him without getting his patented "jump attack," as I call it. He gets on the tips of his legs and jumps at your fingers, trying to pinch them. I rather think he enjoys it.
Anyway, before I get off track, Freyja has developed something stange at the site of her injury. I hadn't thought the wound was bad, until now, and would like to know if anyone has seen this before. She has MOLD growing on it! Staying all day in her burrow that is most likely at 100% humidity at a nice warm temperature probably does not help.
I am obviously going to treat the injury; but, has anyone seen this before?! Rather strange I must say. I will try and get some pictures of it tomorrow before I clean it off.
