Instar Question

[bowieisbae]

I'm just wondering if there is a timeline to follow for instars, specifically P. Imperator.
Mine just had babies, and they have just molted into second instar, when can I expect the next molt into third instar?

It's going to vary depending on temps and setups

Temps and feedings are definitely the biggest attributes. For Pandinus imperator it usually take a few months in between molts.

Ok thanks! The mama must of already been gravid when I brought her home, the babies were unexpected!
