Emperor Scorpion Growth Rate?

[ispectechular]

Hi, I purchased a young emperor scorpion last month that it is about 2 inches long. I am curious as to what the growth rate is on emperor scorpions?

Fantastically slow haha. I have had my 4" for almost a year and it still hasn't molted.

Well that’s disappointing. I was hoping it would be full grown in a year or two. Thanks though!

Emperors can live up to 8 years so it'll take at least 4 years for them to grow up (reach maturity).

Growth rate for them is fairly slow. However with enough food and temps on the higher side you could put speed it up a little bit.

I don't know if Asian Forest Scorpion growth rates are comparable or not, but if they are, you are in for a wait.
