Can anyone tell me some of the major signs of molting in scorpions other than the usual fasting. I have a yellow desert fat tail that is getting really swollen looking, but she still acts fiesty as normal. Do they get darker or anything like that?
Thanks for any input.

Not too many ques on it. I've noticed in a few of mine that when "hit" (not literally.. heheh) with a blacklight, the close-to-molt scorps will have a very dull glow in comparison to the others. Noticeably more with H. troglodytes I currently have. I'm not sure about all of them yet though. As of now, there aren't a huge number of my scorps who have molted lately and so I haven't noticed on them.
