sorry to drop in like this but i hav a prob with my emperor...
currently it has been 3 days now since i notice my female emperor lie flat on the ground while moving its legs up and down like a millipede but didn't move much.. i dont know wuts the prob may b but the others in the same area are all ok.. even the crix that i feed her were the same batch with the others that i feed on. i jus hope she dosent kick the bucket just yet.. i just got her... and i have to go through hell to get her.. damn...

Split from other thread.

Sorry to say it Rideon, but it sounds like she's dying of old age. Such is the eternal problem of getting WC adults.

I thought of such , I did thought it is a WC specimen as dirt was everywhere on her when i got her from the pet store. Some of my fellow friend it might b the caused of internal parasites but i cant say more to agree or not with this theory as i do not know how to check if it is. She was highly active few days ago.. and now this happened to her. really heart broken. Been waiting so long to get these sp and now shes waiting to die. oh well i cant say much more than this but to wait for the inevitable to happen.
But apart from the old age speculation is there any other reasons to what have caused such a dilemma? any syndromes or food poisoning or maybe because i place her in the dark area that make her like this. I did place her in the closet and only open once a day before going to sleep to check on her.

Old age is the only thing I'm aware of that causes those symptoms. Old scorps seem to behave like old clocks, just getting slower and slower until they finally quit.

Keeping it in the dark is actually a good thing; it's more like living in a burrow for them.

Thanks Mordax... looks like i need to find another emperor to replace her
Shes still alive as we speak.. but in the same position....

No worry, i got emp for sale lolz
My condolence thou, hope my breeding project success :p

Thanks Ryo...
Well the Emperor is still alive but very weak now.. So just a matter of time before she went into the clouds...

Just an update on the situation. She finally died. It just stuns me as she holds her life for so long. Now shes gone .. farewell.. all i can do is preserver her body.
