Hi everyone, my gravid hottentotta hottentotta has been spending alot of time in her hiding spot. Today I caught her out standing there "stilting". She is completely flat but has her whole body elevated off the ground probably has far as her legs can get. Some posts say this is mostly because she is too hot, cold, or dry while others say because she is gravid it could mean she is ready to give birth. Her heat lamp is a 25 watt red bulb which had not been on for a good hour or so when I observed the behavior. Just curious if stilting is only related to temperature issues or if gravid scorpions stilt as well. If I catch her doing it again I will try to get a picture but I didnt get one this time :/
