So I've had this little scorpion for about 2 weeks now and its eaten once for me. It ate a pinhead cricket about a week ago. Now I've noticed its fat and I was wondering if it was just fat and should stop feeding for a week or 2, or is it in pre molt?

Also its 1/2" in size currently and is a orange morph. I think I might buy a Leiurus jordanensis, maybe.

Definitely in premolt. Nothing to be concerned about.
Most scorps will go off feed when getting ready to molt, others will eat up right until they do.
Since its refusing food, it isn't going to eat till after it molts. Once it does and it's hardened you can offer it a meal.

Ok thank. I was just worried cause I heard that if a scorpion was 2 fat it could get stuck in its molt.
