Heterometrus longimanus on his way out

I picked up a longimanus at the show yesterday, and when i got home though the substrate in its container had shuffled round a fair amount, it was very limp and slow. I thought maybe it just needed warming up.
After putting them in their new home with fresh substrate and heat, this morning i checked them and one seems fine while the others tail was out flat and legs are quite curled in. I've prodded him a bit and it just flicks its tail but apart from that theres no other movement.

I have them in damp substrate but not as damp as my emps.

what do you think it could be? The dirt shuffled or the journey home???

Probably just old.

They are not very big! So i thought they still had some growing in them

Oh.

:-/

Doubt it was the shuffling on the way home, in any case. I once received a young emperor who was kind of "slowing down" when I got him and he died a day or two later.

Yes, they do.

Did you get it from spideyshop?
