| Not eating in a weeks especially if gravid is normal. But limp tail, is not. She "attacked" your tongs so it might not be a big deal normally a dying scorp won't attack but the tail bothers me...might be dying, sorry. How gravid is she can you post a pic? | |

| Scorps sometimes stretch their tail out to poop. If not dying.....then constipated?  | |

| Tail is so stiff I feel like it will snap if I would try to bend... she's still feisty otherwise but not staying in hide at all either... | |

| I'm sorry bud, but it sounds like she's dying. If she gets more stiff, the most humane way I know of to end her pain is to put he in the freezer. *******DO NOT DO THIS******* if she's not dying. Post up some pictures of her, and describe her behavior in more detail. | |
