I bought this little guy almost three years ago from a store that specializes is reptiles and insects. This of course does not mean they know a lot, because the lady there told me if my Vinegaroon bit me I'd taste vinegar for a week or so...
Anyway, this scorpion was sold to me as a flat rock, and they told me they had bred them, and this one had just eaten it's first pinhead. There were several of them there, so I chose this guy.
I've had him for almost 3 years now. He's never molted, and he's still smaller than a US quarter. His habitat is 75-80 degree, 60-70% humidity. He eats a couple of small crickets a week.
He's super fat, and I have been waiting for him to molt the last month or so, thinking it was finally going to happen. But...nothing. Someone on another board said it might be an O. Capensis, but he was not sure because of how fat this little guy has gotten.
Thoughts?
