I have a juvenile emperor who stopped eating and seemed weak. I checked it out and it was covered in tiny white eggs. They were stuck onto the scorp on the softer areas of its body.
I removed as many as I could with a soft toothbrush and a paintbrush. I then applied some Vaseline. The eggs seemed to die off and the scorp improved and ate something two days ago.
I thoroughly cleaned its container our and have been keeping it a little drier. It has a heat source.
I checked it out today and it has two sore, red spots on it and there's a few eggs round its mouth area. I cleaned the sore areas with some saline on the end of a cotton bud and tried to remove the eggs, but they're pretty stuck on.
What should I do now? The scorp is active and seems well, but I don't want these eggs to re-infest and what should I do about the sore areas? The scorp just walks around when I'm trying to clean it, so it's hard to make sure I'm getting everything off.
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
