Dead scorpion disposal.

Can I give a dead scorpion to my superworms, or will they all die from the venom. .. Or could it be bad for my lizards when I feed them with the worms.

Should be fine. Ingesting venom won't harm the worms or lizards.

The only time I can think ingesting venom would be hazardous is if the animal has some form of internal injury to the digestive tract, ulcers or other such open wound. If the animal is otherwise healthy, I think it should be ok. Just remember, the telson is sharp and is the delivery system and itself could cause the internal injury that can possible deliver the venom.

you could always remove the telson, only a minute part of the carcass anyway!

I would mount the specimen, if I were you. Don't even need preservative material. They dry out pretty quick. But it's up to you lol

the venom breaks down in a matter of minutes after death. they need to be alive to secrete the venom, dead scorpions are incapable of envenomating anything.

So i can just put them in an airtight bowl or whatever and ill be able to keep it for a long time?
