So I sold a baby Urodacus Manicatus to a guy. I used a strip of tape wrapped around the transport container to prevent the lid from coming off in postage, but the bit over the lid is kinda suspended. Apparently the little scorpion managed to squeeze through the air holes and get stuck on the tape. The buyer managed to free it fine but the scorpion has lost a few legs attempting to free itself from the tape. Is it possible for them regrow legs when molting? It's current length is around 10mm fully stretched. Any info is appreciated.

Darn, that's a bit sad. I'm sending the guy another one for free but I was hoping it'd be able to recover it's legs if it survives.

If it's young enough it is possible. But unfortunately because they stop moltmmg when adult it means they won't regenerate limbs after a certain point
