Last night when scoping throung my emperor scorpion terrium with a UV light I realised a pile of neon green tiny bones covering in a purplish substance. I guess it must have been lizard bones after being pooped out by one of the scorps. but dang, it was a pretty big pile. :eek:

Just thought you all would just LOVE to hear that. ;)

hmmmmmm I didn't know they would eat bones. Of course I never have fed mine anything with a backbone either.

Scorpions are on a strictly liquid diet, so the bones were simply discarded like the exoskeleton of a cricket.

And somebody said scorp poo would never glow. :rolleyes:

It was kinda weird how the bones lit up under a UV light.

I have still never seen it glow, but I have stuck with feeding crickets nearly 95% of the time.
