[bkgone]

i had a look at him and he was on his side,he was stiff and was having spasms i dont know wat to do.

 

[westhamsc]

his gone he probley stung him self or a cricket got him

 

[bkgone]

wouldnt they be prone to their own poison?how could a criket kill it?

 

[bkgone]

its tail is straight,its legs r curled up and its having little spasms.

 

[westhamsc]

crickets can be carnivois thats how my last one died

 

[ackie]

scorpains arent immune to their own venom, weird aye.
i used to keep em and one stung itself and died.
wen ya think about it, it might not be the venom that kill them, mabey the sting hit a sensitive part of the body. i could be wrong though.

 

[bkgone]

yeah thanks anyways he died about half hour ago :cry:

 

[Tommo]

Did I get a post deleted from this thread?

Yeah spiders are supposed to do the same thing (in Reptiles Australia Volume 1 Issue 2, its mentioned that spiders preping to shed are often mistaken as dead). Apparently yabbies remain motionless too (I found this out AFTER I fed a new "dead" yabbie to my fish :lol: )
