I bought an asian forest scorpion but when I got home it seemed he had maggots on his left claw. I’m not sure if his claw is rotting or if the maggots are just feeding off the top. I have a potato I was planning to put in his enclosure in hopes that the maggots go on the potato instead.
This is the only picture I have on my computer, I can try to get more later if I need to.

Is it a male or female scorp?? Adorable lil bugger. I hope this maggot thing isnt a threat to its health. Are these scorps tolerant of small amounts of handling?
He’s a male, I think you’re the first person that told me he’s adorable 
Thank you for the kind words. They’re a species that’s more tolerable of handling, but like tarantulas they aren’t the best for handling and they can’t be handled for too long.

I hope he’s okay! Very pretty little scorp.

Unfortunately the maggots and infection were slowly killing him and I decided it would be best to euthanize him.

Aw, that’s too bad. I’m sorry he had to go out that way.
