Hi folks.
Before we moved to Tallahassee, my wife worked at an animal clinic in South GA. The vet their was always finding small scorpions in her horse barn and house. She knew I've been caring for Emps and A.F. for 8 or 9 years now. Yesterday, she called my wife up and said she had a scorpion for me.
The scorpion is small and orange/brown about 30mm (estimated) long including the tail. Based on what I've seen online, this would likely be a C. Hentzi. And, it's not slender/lanky so I'm guessing it is female.
Here is my dilemma. From my research, many of the feeder species of roach are not legal in Florida. I feed my A.F. large crickets. Can you guys give me any pointers on what would be appropriate to feed this scorpion? Also, how do you guys furnish the enclosure? My research has turned up a lot of articles on distribution and not much in the way of diet and care.
I'd really appreciate any info/pointers you could offer. Right now she's in a small jelly jar with some straw and leaves which is what Doc put her in to get her to me.
Thank you guys in advance for you time and interest!
