Help! I don't know why my Asian Forest Scorpion looks so fat

[Biyanyan]

I bought this lady around 1,5 years ago and I think she was wild captured. She was gravid before and gave birth to five little scorpions, which only one survives until now. I feed her 1 mealworm per week because she rarely wants more. I noticed she was bigger than i thought a few months ago and i thought she was gonna molt or just fat. Now i'm worried because i don't know whether she's fat, molting, sick or gravid. Please let me know!

You have your answer for your own question.

Is 1 mealworm too many for her?

Is 1 mealworm too many for her?

When you feed, you don’t just feed.

You observe your scorpion’s current status. If it looks thin, you feed, if it looks plump enough, then you stop feeding it.

After all, you are the one in control.

If you ask why it looks so fat, it’s very ironical.

I'm no scorpion expert, but would maybe cut down a bit, like BoyFromLa said, just observe when you feed them, if they look plump, cut a bit back if they look a bit thin give them a bit more. But I would just keep an eye on them! Sorry that I had no actual advise 🫣
