 Scorpions?

Are scorpions ok for my alli or will they make him sick? I find alot of them in and around my house in the summer time and would love nothing more than to see them be eaten rather than just smashed on the floor.
I just got a ground snake yesterday too and the website i was looking at said they eat scorpions so i was just wondering if they are ok for allies too.

 Scorpions?

Its a very bad idea. While the scorpions may only be mildly venomous, and not considered a threat, you just never know exactly how each individual will react. They aren’t very healthy or meaty either.

like i said the scorpion is a very active insect that doesn’t give up on being eatin..it will fight back even with out the stinger and your lizard can be severly damaged even if maybe the lizard ate it...plus it barley have any meat and it may also be kinda hard to digest..and also like i said thats a waste of scorpions!!! i live in canada and there are no scorpions or southern allies walking around you should be proud..instead there are stunks and wolves and bears and it creeps me out that they will attack..

 Scorpions?

Southern Alligator lizards have been documented eating forest scorpions. Though if you didnt know that, you probably dont know what species of scorpion you have, so yea... dont do it. Just offer a variety of commercial insects.

Are they the real scorpions with pincers and stingers and everything, or are they the wind scorpion kind with nothing like that, and the long front legs.

These are the ones I find around my place...from what I hear, they are pretty mild.

I feed my Alli’s crickets. I catch thes HUGE black crickets outside my house, and they love them, but i also have to buy brown ones, cuz one of my blue bellies is stubborn and wont eat black ones. I have a question too...One of my blue bellies, i never see it eat? It seems he aint getting real skinny or anything, but can you tell me somthing to do?
