What's the best way to do that?

She hs made very slight progress. I'd say a little more than half her leg is out of the molt but the rest wont budge. After misting her I've tried very gently tugging at it, but pulling it off without hurting her is gonna be impossible so that's not gonna work. I kind of thought about cutting...

That makes sense, I'll just hope for the best

Ok, I would say she is about half the size of an adult right now, so that gives me hope, thanks for clearing that up!

Update: It's morning now and it doesn't look like much progress has been made. She was a bit more active when I checked on her than she was yesterday. After misting her gently I checked the molt and it hasn't hardened yet thanks to the humidity, however her new exoskeleton does look like it's...

I could, but I worry about stressing her out too much, would it be safer to gently mist her? I could at least place a dish in with her and maybe she will go into it by herself...?

That's unfortunate, thanks for the info though. Hopefully she can get it free without damaging or losing it.

That's good to know! I hope she doesn't lose it, but I'm glad that she will probably grow it back if she does. I don't have a picture of the enclosure right now, I'd have to move it too a get a decent picture and I don't want to disturb her right now.

Hey guys, I'm just a little concerned about my Asian forest scorpion. I went to check on her and found her almost completely molted except one leg, and she was just sort of walking around dragging the molt with her. I;m hoping she just simply isn't finished molting, but it seems weird to me that...

I definitly need to take more video lol. I missed a nice video opportunity when I fed my scorpion. She is usually a lazy eater but today she was like a little monster once I threw the cricket in there!

Haha don't worry I am the same with all my pets. I have to use so much restraint to keep myself from pestering all of them to making sure they are doing fine. And yeah I'll be taking a lot of pictures I'm sure! I've got an instagram request to take video as well so maybe I can try and get that...

Lol maybe she is just deep in thought? Uhg all this vinegaroon chatting has me so excited! I can't wait for tomorrow!

Those are really pretty names! I was thinking of naming mine Iyana if it's a female. If it's a male then it will probably be unnamed for a while lol

I prefer females solely for the fact that I am better at picking out female names lol. Plus I am used to female inverts typically living longer and growing bigger though I'm not aware if this is the case for vinegaroons.

Just realized this topic is totally in the wrong forum, I was really sick and sleep-deprived when I posted this though so that's my defense xD

Oh wow years? It's incredible that they can go that long with so little food!

Very true! The tricky part will just be trying to get a decent picture! Or maybe I will be lucky and the breeder will know the sex :) I'm actually really hoping that before he brings it he'll ask if there is a gender I prefer, but I doubt I will be that lucky haha.

5 definitely sounds like too much depending on the prey size. Since I have a lot of baby dubias I'll probably offer it 2 or 3 in one week, or maybe just one cricket. I'll be able to better judge when I see how big it actually is and see how close it is to next molt. My scorpion has been less...

That's great! I love inverts with big appetites! Plus right now I have more baby dubia roaches from my colony than i know what to do with, so hopefully it will help me control the population a bit more since my scorpion isn't really interested in them :P
