So sorry for your ordeal... If he died the day you got him home, have you spoken with the place you got him from?

I've looked at a couple of your posts, you seem to have quite a few which would lead me to believe you know enough of what you're doing not to be responsible. Do scorps pick up parasites etc? Sorry, I don't know much about them - I always guessed they would be hardy little sorts because there's so many various invertbrates running around the world (and I notice, for the most part I'm not a fan of many of them!)
