Default Scorpion Dying
One of my scorps seems in a bad way, a desert species.

It is not, AFAIK, a full adult, and has been really active, feeding well, etc, for months and months, but over the past few days, a steady decline.

Things like a VERY noticeable slowing down of it's reactions to anything.

It literally looks like it is drying up ( I have not altered any temps)

Now very docile, and not moving well.

The last two things I placed in there, well, it killed them, didn't eat them.

Will be a shame if it goes, as it is a hard to get Desert Species...

Oh well...

It was fine for ages, but has gone rapidly downhill these past few days.

Tbh, Si, I would be surprised if it is still alive this time tommorow...

Do you give it water? Most desert species don't need water, but some benifit from it.
