Yes, they are around 4 instar. Can you tell the species?Pretty sure it's another species, and not slings.
They are Heterometrus silenus. Emperor juveniles usually have pale telsons, iirc, Emperors gain their typical chela at the 4th and/or 5th instar.If anyone is 100% sure about which species they are let me know
Are there any chances of this being emperors?They are Heterometrus silenus. Emperor juveniles usually have pale telsons, iirc, Emperors gain their typical chela at the 4th and/or 5th instar.
Emperors have a wider (but thinner) granulated manus with short fingers.
AFS have a narrower (but thicker) smoother manus with longer fingers.
Their next molt should indisputably confirm their identity.
Slim chance but their next molt will remove all doubt.Are there any chances of this being emperors?
