Hello,
This is my very first post on Arachnoboards. I am new and I have a Giant Hairy Scorpion. She is definitely a female but I don't know if she's fat or gravid! She has been plump for some months now (I'd say since last June). I always fed her at least one cricket a week and no more than that. Now recently I've been feeding her one about every two weeks and yet she still hasn't slimmed down. She is a lot less active and almost never comes out of her hiding place to dig and walk around her tank anymore. I can't tell if she is expecting or not. If she is, what steps can I take? I don't think I need a heat lamp for her because I live in Arizona where it's hot. (especially by the time it's March or April.) Also, should I give her extra food since she might need more fuel if she is gravid? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
