So brought home this guy from the pet store and he has been eating like a champ. But I'm seeing what I thought were signs of molting yet he is not refusing food. He's huge though and he hasn't gotten any smaller from pooping and he is still coming out of his burrow quite often. Is it possible he is just fat or is he in fact it molting? I feel like I can see the resemblence of a exoskeleton forming under the current one, but I'm still new to this and have never had a scorpion molt in my care yet.

It will become sluggish and slow when getting ready to molt along with rejecting food. At that point I would increase humidity a lot

If it is going to molt it will slow down and refuse food as the molt approaches.
