well, my scorp, Roxy is about 3 - 3.5 inches in length. How many more molts before the average size?
No, it could possiblyl die, because at the end of the telson is the anus of the scorpion. Without that it will not be able to put its mess away.If an emp. loses its stinger, will it grow back as the scorpion molts?:?
Actually, a scorpion's anus is located between the telson and the last metasomal segment. So even if the telson is missing, it's very likely the anus is still untouched.No, it could possiblyl die, because at the end of the telson is the anus of the scorpion.

Thx Rosenkreuz, thats what i mean. When the telson is cut away, the the last metasomal segment is often damaged too. Sorry, i couldnt describe it in english.Actually, a scorpion's anus is located between the telson and the last metasomal segment.

If the tip is the only thing missing, I wouldn't worry. It's likely it'll regrow it during a molt.Only the actual point of the stinger was lost, not quite sure hbow it happened though.:? :? :?
