Again, it is just an opinion, and do with it as you please, but my advice is pitch the flukers quencher and add a water dish you fill weekly to bi- weekly. ---------- i ll give it a shot

There isnt a way of knowing how old your haddy is unless you had it since birth (highly unlikely) or the person you bought it from knows the exact date (also highly unlikely).
More then likely its wild caught as its super hard to raise them from early instars due to the fact its near impossible to emulate their natural molting environment.
These guys can live 10+ years even after hitting the final molt though, but without knowing the age of yours it could be on year 9 out of 10 or even 12 out of 10, no way to really know.
'Most' scorpions hit adulthood or maturity within a year, some 2 years, all depends on their environment and food. And the time in between molts increases as they go up in instars.
