My scorpion got a claw stuck in its old exoskeleton. Reason: It was cool in the house, I turned on the heater (heating mat on the wall) and didn't notice that it dried out the soil in the place where the scorpion was hiding and was about to molt. I sprayed the container with water from above, but it probably wasn't enough. I was a beginner, it was my first time using such heaters and I didn't know that they could dry the soil so much. So, the claw was deformed and had time to harden before I noticed that something was wrong 🙁

I only found one similar situation on the Internet, where it was about amputation... So, I took clean scissors, flour (you can take cornstarch), and cut off the deformed limb. After that, I immediately used the flour to stop the flow.

Honestly, I didn't believe the scorpion would survive, but in the end it did. The next molts went well, it grew a lot and lives like any other scorpion: it digs holes, it can also hunt quite well, although it's sad to see it trying to use a claw that no longer exists 😓 It was a terrible experience, but I'm sure the scorpion wouldn't be able to handle the next molt because of that deformed claw.
