Any particular groups you want molts from? And is there an instar threshold?

Not sure they would stay intact long enough to ship them but I have hundreds of them all the time lol
I'm sure there's a way to preserve them but I'm clueless there

I think you preserve them the same way as a tarantula molt, but very often they destroy them because of the process in which they molt.

They can, but that's typically not the case. Doesn't really matter since they push out the front anyway, not molting like a tarantula would.

@Scorpionluva
Above each pic is my Instagram account where I make my exuviae jewelry. Not advertising, just sharing. The tray below is 30mm in diameter so I’m hoping for some that will fit in there nicely. Around 1.5” is my fav size to work with but I’m not going to be picky... Oh, and I have special glue that helps keep Molt parts together, if anyone is interested:
It’s from BioQuip

Also if anyone has adult scorpion molts I could use the stinger or claws as well. Please anyone DM or tag me if you’re interested bc I’m still looking for those too! Thanks guys!

Not sure if Asian forest scorps flip over on their back to molt but plenty other scorps do so id say it's possible
Leiurus quinquestriatus sure likes to flip over lol
