Try putting a water bowl at the coolest part of the tank. I did this with one of my B. occitanus and it made a full recovery.

So do I, esp as mine is 'complete'.

I cannot see it recovering, a week or less ago, it was fesity and everything, and now, well, you just know when something is dying...

doesnt sound good mate.
Might be worth poppin a crickets guts onto the scorps chelicerae, its saved a centipede for me before.
Sounds luike the same symptoms too, i dribble occasional water drops onto the maxilla too, only 2 days of 6hour intervals and she got better...but still died 3months later

It would need Jesus himself to work on this one, fella. Woke up today, and as I suspected, didn't make it didn't make it through the nite...

Odd that it was really active and a good eater for so long, then that, esp as I do not think it was an adult.

Generally speaking, I have found T's to be hardier and that they seem to live longer than scorps.

I have had quite a few scorps, never once have I seen one shed/moult, not the case with any T's that I have had, which moult well and often....

Thanks for the advice anyway, mate

possibly parasites in the gut that killed it / stopped it eating. was it a w/c or a c/b? or possibly a male dying of old age?

Who knows mate, might have been that? What causes that, out of interest? No idea (if I am being honest), if it was WC or CB.
