I have a yellow ground scorpion that was gifted to me a few months back and I think she is going into premolt. She's put on some weight and the sides of her abdomen are showing a blueish grey, she is just bout adult size and I'm wondering how long long they usually lasting pre molt.

Premolts can be indeterminable periods but just prior to the actual act of molting they will get very dull coloration, become very sluggish (lifeless even) while aggressively whipping their tail upon any disturbance, and they will often hide themselves weeks or months on end (and should not be disturbed).
