Any idea?

Ok pretty much looks like mites cause they stick on the joint area..
But still, the pic not so clear
Did they move when u touch it?
If so u go buy vaseline from watson 2molo

Cant c them move...Ok,2moro go buy vaselin and chg the whole substrate.Y just this 1 only?

that does looks like mites to me.. a vast infection.. but cant see clearly... if its only on the legs it will b easy to clear but if on the chelea or metasoma and on the genetal area it wont be easy. please check it..

Aiseh i dunno wat is that la, not clear, could be mites could be other thing
Wait next time i come ur house i ll take a look at it but if u notice them spreading or moving when u touch then confirm mites ady

Even the metasoma and the tergate area plus joint areas also got.Will check the genital area

what else could it be? i cn only tell its mites by the size of the group in each sections and their color..

from ur description i can tell its mites.
all u cn do is quaratine the scorp from all ur collection. scrape and burn the one u can and tomoror do the same with vaseline. and watch ur scorps behaviour.. and obviously update us. If any signs of weakening try to give food and water. if the mites still there u could try again or give it to some one who has the equipment to do such surgery.. mine was full of mites.. so ur not the only one. I know how u feel...

The scorp is still acive,no sign of weakness.I now put it in a container wiv nth inside.Guess it hav to stay there overnight.
Later another pic to show its bottom part.

Arr... Pretty much confirm its mites now
Juz leave it in the container, u can add substrate but bone dry coco fiber with a water dish inside if im nt mistaken
When prolong usually the mites will dry of dehydration or drown in water dish

But i prefer another method which is scrap them away using vaseline and cotton bud

i'm sorry man. what i can see there is mites...
those pics to me confirm its mites.. coz i had the same prob. dont place ur scorp in an empty container place some thin layer of substrate on it. and leave it be. u either can scrape some off and burn them or leave till u get vaseline tomoz. oh if u decide to make some surgery on ur scorp, dont place it on the same container with the same subs. change to a new subs and clean ur container then place ur scorp in. dont panic... we cn help u on this issue.

Added on July 13, 2009, 2:00 amcrape them off with paper.. then afterwards burn the paper. i really hate those mites. if only we can find some springtails..
oh yeah water dish kinda a good idea. the scorp may notice the mites are on him, so they dunk them self in for hours to drown the mites... that could work.. or the opposite..

Swt surgery pulak, sound so serious
I suggest leave it now, if scrap later they get off on the substrate or floor or outside the tank susah a bit
Use vaseline can stick them on it easily and drown them
But be very careful not to apply on the booklung

I'll add new substrate into the container.I'm not ready to perform surgery yet,guess i hav to guy vaselin and apply on it 2moro.
Ok will add water dish

apart from that... i just checked on mine just to take some precaution and found out that my sexing the scorps are rather rusty.. i thought that i have 2 males and 1 female but apparently i have 2 female and 1 male ... damnz.. and all the females are gravid ... damn.. i overlooked at their operculum than the pectine teeth... double damn... one of the female seems to be ready to give birth any time .. as shes the only one that bigger than others.. tripple damn...

Added on July 13, 2009, 2:09 amand to add while i was looking at them saw a springtail running on my scorp.. so damn fast.. cleaning mayb..

Any1 can post pic of springtails?Just to make sure dat mine r springtails not mites

But when u see by eyes only u wont see so much detail

they are alil smaller than mites but move damn fast... they dont stay in one spot eventhough u disturb it..

Just clean the whole tank,add in a thin layer of completely dry coco-fibre(luckily i bought 700g frm leetplayer) and a water dish and put it inside.Hope it will turn better.
