A. australis pics and questions

[Div1nE]

i've had this guy since early january of this year and he still has not molted. he looks really fat though. i was just wondering when do you guys think he will molt? i've been anticipating it for some time now.

hmmmm... size/age? i would assume from the size of the metasoma it is not full grown.

 

[Div1nE]

it is only about 1.5 inches, i dont know what instar it is.

well, i'll put it this way, one of my scorps gave birth in about september, and th only surviving baby is only on its second instar. so it could be tommorow, or it could be a week, or a month etc.

My australis burried itself for several months before it came out in with new clothes.
