Hi People

I just bought a whip scorpion and I have some questions.

1. When I bought my female, she only has one super long leg. Will the other grow back?
2. How do you move a whip scorpion without accidentally hurting it because of its super long legs that are always in the way?
3. Is http://www.petbugs.com/caresheets/D-variegatus.html accurate on this guy?

Cheers

I love those creatures.

I kept them for about a year, but lost them. I plan to get them again.

I believe that the extensions should grow back and be apparent with the next molt. These critters are lighting fast so I do not recommend handling them. If you must, heard them into another container to transport them. One more thing. Do not keep them together, they will chow on each other, especially after moulting. This is where I made a huge mistake.

Good luck with them,

Tom
