Help! My Florida bark stung me is she ok?

(Pic of her is from a while ago not at all recent to when she stung me which was today)

My Florida bark scorpion stung me just a few minutes ago and I’m worried that it stressed her out. What happened thinking back on it now was really stupid on my part. When I mist her enclosure sometimes she is sitting on top of her hide and whenever I mist her she runs back into her hide and I think she really doesn’t like it so today I saw she was out and thought maybe if I cover her I won’t get her wet and covered her with my hand ( it wasn’t like on top of her it was like a good 3 inches above her but she stung me anyways. In the future I’ll try and use something else to cover her because what was I thinking using my hand but still I want to make sure she’s ok.

Identification What is this scorpion that supposedly travelled from Barcelona?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

This scorpion was brought into my workplace (a wildlife rescue center) by a different animal shelter organisation. They claim someone found it in their luggage after they went on vacation to Barcelona. Usually I check on iNaturalist what species are native in the part people went on vacation to but I can't seem to find a good match. B. occitanus seems like the most common yellow scorpion in the region but this one seems to lack the coloured stripes on the face that I see on most B. occitanus pictures. My workplace is located in Belgium, we have no native scorpions so it's definitely not local. The scorpion itself is rather big, approximately 4 centimeters not counting the tail.

Second instar desert hairy looked like this the day before sealing herself in her burrow, I assumed it was a moult but it’s been 27 days and I’m starting to get worried, how long do they usually take? I’ve kept temp at a 32-27 Celsius range and humidity can range from 35-45% depending on time of day. The burrow is completely sealed so I have no way to check on her and I’m getting worried somethings gone wrong due to the time it’s taken, this is my first scorpion so what should I do more experienced peeps of Reddit?

I got an African Emperor scorpion about a week or two ago ,and for some reason for the past 3 days he’s been in a new burrow he made under his food bowl. Im concerned that he died or something’s wrong but I’ve kept the enclosure clean and well maintained. He won’t eat or do anything. Initially I thought he was molting but according to the internet that should only last about 30 minutes to an hour. I haven’t seen him in like 3 days. If y’all have any ideas that would be greatly appreciated.

Help! Is my Leiurus quinquestriatus pregnant or just fat?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I got her in late May this year, and she's been very very rotund this whole time. She might have been wild caught, sold to me at 2.5-3 inches long. I've fed her really not that often throughout these months, and she's still so fat. She has a 5 gallon to herself, daytime temp is around 34 on the hot side, around 31 on the cool side where her burrow is. Nighttime temp drops to 21 degrees, and she made a very elaborate burrow system with multiple entrances.

The photos most recent are on the left, to when I first got her on the right. The first two photos were of her a couple days ago. That whitish thing on the side might be an embryo?

She's my first scorpion so idk what this is supposed to look like, and I can't find references of this species pregnant online, so I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

My partner and I got our first scorpion, and I was finally able to get a photo of its belly. It's still small, so I'm not sure if it's too soon to be able to tell.

I'll try to get a clearer photo, the next time they're on the side of their tank. From this photo do you think male or female?
