Thx u guys...really help alot just now
ANW...wat r those mites doing?Sucking the moisture out of the scorpion?So the scopion will die eventually?

u got it there mate.. because there is no suficient moisture in the tank... the mites attracted to the moving thing that has nutrients and moisture on it.. so they attached themself and multiplate... and eventually ur scorp dies... if not done anything..correct me if im wrong..

Well...1 thing dat all of us agree is...WE HATE THEM!!!!!!

mites.

i wonder,

what are the factors that contributes to a mite infestation of the tank and scorpions?

this is the first time that i saw a clear picture of a mites infestation on a scorpion.

thank you hyorinmaru for the pictures.

all these while i was observing my scorpions to see if there is any abnormality on them.

Usually they comes along with wild caught stuff
If u dun have any wild caught scorp i think it shld be safe
They stick on ur scorp absorbing the water and nutrient from it
Eventually ur scorp will die from dehydration+lost of nutrient and perhaps stress

Its a wildcaught scorpion Hyourin. It comes preloaded with free parasites. Do what you can to save it. But don't stress yourself over it. The learning curve is by far more important.

P/s: Mites are overrated - only in Malaysian forums. The open wound that is the Fear of the unknown is often fueled with more than generous amounts salt, chilli and cuka. Sometimes to the point where the owner of the animal stresses the animal inside out just to remove things that are just superficial. You're dealing with living thing, not quantum physics.

i rem someone did some treatment to mites on afs recently or last month .. there are many informative pics together with it ..

i think the affect afds belong to riddon...
maybe u can chk with them ?

cheers

I believe that method will over stress the poor scorpion

btw ... looking back the the recently pop ..

i think so. i made a different shelter for her and she is more relaxs now.
