Hottentotta hottentotta gravid??

I'm pretty convinced she's about to drop soon. She's burrowing herself in deeper and is getting more towards the heat. I have a low regulated heat mat on the bottom ( I know it's not suggested ) but it's getting colder her in the PNW and I don't want her to rely on a low power mat on the side of the tank. It's definitely not hot enough to do any damage as it's only 4w and it's been keeping her heat at a steady level. I've checked on her morning and night to make sure she's not in any harm plus I've sat my hand on it for a while to see the transfer and it's just enough like a dulling hand warmer.

I can make out white areas in the membrane so I'm thinking it's brewing. Who's agreeing?

yep does look it to me, they dont seem to get as fat as a lot of other scorpions do before they pop. also hey also in the PNW!

Ayyyyyye nice! I'm just outside Seattle. Like a sneeze haha.

But ya she's been showing the Hottentotta signs. She roamed for a couple nights and then moved farther in to her digs and blocked off the entrance completely. She burrowed down farther and wants to be more by the heat. I'd assume she might pop within a couple weeks or so give or take. She's been like this for some time but I could be quickly guessing. I just wish my Androctonus Crassicauda was Parthenogenic cause I'd love those babies haha. These ones i was very well expecting.
