Probably old age -- that happens a lot with wild-caught.

I'm sorry for your loss. Sad

Her telson looks a little light in color, I'm not sure if she was that old. But it was more than likely wild caught and could of had internal parasites.

As far as the Andro thing is concerned, many people make a big deal over them. Just be smart and remember they CAN kill you. Some people have different rates at which they learn. I got my first Andro 3 or 4 months after I got my first scorp, but I knew I was ready. Now I have no comfort issues with medically significant species, but I always practice safety.
