Has anyone got a chart or something simular that tells you the age to molt and size ranges for emperor scorpions?
Mine was pretty big when I got him so I am a little dissapointed because I probally wont get to see him molt/grow much (if ever). I measured 'Pincent' (as he has become known in our house) and he is about 6 inches from 'face' to the end of his tail. His body is nearly an inch wide, will he ever molt again or is this it now? I think the fellow in the shop said he was over a year old but I could be wrong as I wasnt there at the time and only have the knowledge third hand.
And, is it normal for him to lie flat and have his claws extremly far apart with his 'mouth' area wide open (like he's singing opera on some frequency I cant hear?) Also, I keep finding him with his tail curled right the way over, sting in his own mouth, arse right in the air. And, he sometimes does this weird 'press ups/push ups' thing like scorpion squats or something like that, whats all this behavior mean?
Sorry to ask so many (probaly dumb) questions. :?
