this is my first time caring for a scorpion that wasn't a sub adult or larger. he's maybe 3/4" long from head to tail and light brown. last night, i gave it a meal worm. he fought with the worm for a few minutes then he just let it go, extended his tail and went completely limp. i tried to get his attention with the meal worm, but he just curled his legs under himself and twitched slightly. for hours, i thought he was dead, but then he would twitch his tail or a claw a little. so i put him in the big tank where the heat and humidity have the best balance. this morning, i found him 3-4" from where i had placed him. his claws were back against his sides, and his tail was curled. he's not moving at all, but if i try to pick him up, he will hook his feet into the bedding and not let go. when i release, he relaxes and extends his legs for a minute before tucking them under himself again. is this normal for baby scorpions? do they have trouble molting?
