No idea, never considered it a worthy cause.
Exactly. But it still pokes at my curiosity... I don't wanna try it so i'm waiting for someone who has done it to reply loooool

Just causes stress, and you can make it fail the moult if you open the box (heat/humidity escapes)
Once I thought my S.maurus was dead, it was a ragdoll scorpion and looked totally dead on top of a log
I even sprayed it with water in an attempt to get a reaction out of it!
i put it back in its box, next day was a pearly white S.maurus next to his old skin.. i was amazed!
In the past i've helped scorpions out of tricky moults, stuck tails etc and always had the scorpion try to wiggle or move
unlike this S.maurus which didnt even twitch while i handled it

Thank you so much! Well, scorpions are hardier than I thought. That relieved so much out of my curiosity.
