finally molted!

What a diff a molt makes! HUGE diff in chela size. Always amazing. Took quite a while. It was shut in for a long time. A mature male now. Pretty sure H. spinifer. That's what most thought from an old post anyway. Going to see if I can get him together with the female later.

Took a couple more pics

Mmm... freshly molted! Congrats.

It's amazing how scorps can grow so big in one molt! Also, it's just plain amazing how they can fit into their old exoskeleton.

Good job. The expansion is pretty amazing thats for sure. They always look amazing when first molted.
