| Last night, I noticed that my emperor scorpion, seemed to be only able to walk in a circle. I just checked on her a minute ago, and she was just laying there lifeless, so i lifted her up some by the tail, and she moved her legs. She is acting very lethargic, but will move some if i touch him.
What can I do to help her? ICU? | |

| Well, I checked on her this morning, and decided she was dead. But, I thought it would be a good idea to keep her in the tank, just a little while longer (hoping I was wrong). And, it turns out.. I was wrong! I opened the lid just a minute ago, and she moved one of her legs. Soo glad I didn't dispose of her when I first thought she had passed.
This is why its a good idea to wait until you are absolutely 100% positive they are no longer alive. | |

| Thats how my Emp scorpion acted before she died earier this year. She acted lathargic and wouldn't really move or eat for two weeks then I noticed her body and tail was completely on the ground n she didn't move at all. That was a sad day. I hope everything goes well with yours | |
