One of my C. gracilis molted into 6th instar......
Only to be eaten by it's 5th instar sibling right after it molted. It's being eaten right next to it's old exoskeleton. You have got to be kidding me!
The one that is still alive just ate a large cricket yesterday. I had them both in a 1 gallon tank, so there should have been enough room.
What a pointless way to die.
Well, it looks like I'll be getting a new scorp for my birthday.

That's too bad man. I guess lesson learned though right? Not to sound insensitive or anything, but they can be pretty opportunistic and a freshly molted scorp is a feast!

I once wild caught a C. Gracilis with purple to it and it died on me of what I assume was old age and I only had it for about 2 weeks.
