Hello everyone,
I'm new to the hobby. I recently purchased a Pandinus Imperator and I believe it's a female, but I wanted a second opinion. I'm also curious to about what instar you think this is. It is approximately four inches long (from pincer to base of tail).
She also seems to be on the opposite schedule as normal Emperors. She stays in her hide all night long and comes out around 11am almost every day. Sometimes she stays out for 4-5 hours at a time. My guess is that the pet store had them on this schedule somehow... maybe (?). Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I be worried? I'm currently only feeding at night to try and reverse this habit.
