Sorry for your loss :\

I'm pretty sure you can put them in alcohol. Not sure though.
I've seen someone put a parted scorpion in a jar and fill it up with alcohol.

(NOT THE ALCOHOL YOU DRINK, THE KIND YOU CLEAN CUTS WITH)



Dont listen to me yet because I'm not sure and I dont want your scorp. to disolve or somthin lol

I'm very sorry for your loss...how ever...

If she was gravid and dead, I don't think I could resist the temptation to cut her open and see what's going on with the babies. Hell, maybe you can save them. If you do...make sure to take pics.

she still has atleast like 4 months of gravidness left and has been dead all day...
pretty sure there is no hope... unless she does that wierd resurection thing that they sometimes do.

Until you learn how to preserve, put into a bag and put in the freezer. It probably was old age that took her life.
do you know 100% she was gravid?
Sadly sometimes these things happen.
I was heart broken when Pinchy randomly died

thats ashame jordan. there are a few ways to preserve a scorpion, the simplest being chucking it in the freezer, or you could put it in a jar of concentrated alchohol, but this causes colour to fade. check out ladyriots thread for a better method.
