Hey all~


Im just trying to find other reasons to why my Emperor Scorpion is dragging its tail?

I know that it usually means it about the time to go, but can there be another reason to be acting sluggish and really drained of life?

Alright, hopefully to hear from you people.

By the way, It was very active the day before and its tail was up and going , but like out of nowhere its so sluggish. So just thought i give you a bit more of a perspective detail.


thank you.

If it is perfectly striaght and dragging on the floor, then i'm afraid its most likely done for.

Depends how long it hass been dragging its tail

It may be too cold also.
How long has it been like that?
If you touch it does it just stay there?
Does it just lay about in the open,or go into its hide?

Well mine drag there tail and they are not even a year old. i think it just depends on the mood. aswell im sure if you made them feel threatened, it would pop right back up.

Its been been dragging its tail for about a few hours and went outside of its burrow.

As the next day went by and still the same, with very light movement.

Today I found her dead. It left behind 6 beautiful Scorplings and all up to the 3rd instar.

R.I.P
*Tina the Hooker*

That was her name, because she had so many babies. :]

lmbo sorry man but that was funny. I am at work and I started laughing aloud. Everyony just looked @ me like im stange

Well idk if i would call 6 babies a lot of babies..

^ she had 13 to begin with.


but today i buried her in the backyard in a nice jewelry box.

my mom was actually very sad..


anywhos...


I started with 13 babies, now down to 6 now.. not bad... dont you think?

Are you planning on selling some?

she eats the babies according to what she thinks can survive in the area in which she is living. so if shes living in a 10 gal tank, she may not eat as many as she would if she was living in a 5gal tank.
