Hi Sweendog87,

You should have a look at this website for information on the care of Scorpions. As for your Python you should never feed live rats to any animal as it is dangerous and illegal. The quality of the food may not be the issue and it could be caused by disease so I would take your python to the vet as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Is it safe for my scorpion to always be in wet sand?

I have a 3yr old carpet python and after he come out of hibernation he hasn't eaten anything for like 2months he has been fed with live rats usually but won't go near them now. I tried frozen ones and still no change. I was told to try mice and feed him at night but now he won't move at night cause it's probably too cold should I leave his heat lamp on at night and try the mice?

Hi I got a new dessert scorpion the other day now I know they need a water source to soak in but my scorpion has somehow drained all the water out of his bowl and all into his tank so all the sand has pools in it & is saturated. Is this common or should I change something I'm worried that it will get too cold at night even with a heat mat please wb this is my first time on this site.
