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.
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.
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.
