damnit... just took a quick drive into very close local hills to collect some wood/rocks..look for bugs..etc... Came across a beautiful Anuroctonus phaiodactylus (i think correct ID). Was a quick drive back, but had no h2o. 15min drive and the poor thing overheated ...only a few twitches...dead now fairly certain. Been waiting here for a miraculous recovery, but even the twitches have ceased. I really hate when I make bad decisions like that. Wish i hadnt spotted it.. it be still out there doing its thing. Confused

Sorry to hear it... Not the first time that has happened, though. People really need to be prepared if they're going collecting... :-/

Crazzzzy though (not totally surprised) ...it has recovered somewhat ...enough to keep its tail up, using its legs and react a bit.
MAY have made it through this afterall ...a little time will tell.

Seriously, though...the bugger really was limp toast with no signs of life for an hr or so! Confused

That's how three of my Vinegaroons were when I came home and found the UPS guy had left their shipping container out in the sun on my front porch... Two of them died, but one came back to life a few hours later. I would have *sworn* she was toast, too. I hope yours pulls through O.K.!

Spunkier today, but not feisty like when I caught it. It did move some dirt around (a little) ...which is a great sign. Cool
