| Is this the right height for my scorpion's tail? It seems awfully low   Also, could someone post an image of a scorpion that's dragging its tail so I have future reference? Thanks | |

| Is (s)he actually dragging his/her metasoma on the substrate?
It doesn't look like (s)he's dragging his/her metasoma to me, if she was it would be completely straight.
Emps tend to walk walk with their metasomas somewhat extended. | |

| So unless his entire metasoma is all the way down and being dragged, I don't have anything to be worried about? | |

| If you notice his metasoma start to lower even more, along with him becoming lethargic, something is wrong. But at the moment he appears fine. | |

| My emps tend to walk with their tail down a lot when they walk over uneven surfaces such as my arm. It seems to me that they use the tail for ballance. | |

| My Pandinus imperator walks like that to, but very rarely, as I bought him from a PetCo, and I'm guessing he's a wild caught specimen as the reason. I kinda want o breed him, but parental consent could be a problem along with the fact that I want a different species too.
