My emp has been very active for the past 2 weeks since I've purchased it. It ate a cricket last night and has been eating 4 crickets every week. I checked on it last night and it just sat there in the corner propped up against the glass. This morning it was in the same position and it usually sits in the hide during the day. The pectines look very yellow and he's still sitting there. For those who have experience: do you know if my scorp is dying? Is he molting? I am worried about him, thanks.

I would first make sure that he is still alive. What temp/himidity is he being kept at?.

most emps and forest scorpions have a yellowy/brown belly...

He's still alive. He attacked my forceps when I put it near his claws. The temperature is 78 degrees, 85% humidity level... :(

Sounds like all is well, maybe he was just being lazy, mine used to just sit around after a good meal.
