New scorp to molt today, one of my heterometrus mysorensis, or as i label it, H myso 1.
I was very surprised this guy molted today, its last molt was on november 30th 2011, do they grow that fast? Or did time just past fast... Either way, im happy and it definitely is surpassing all my other hets, especially my sub adult longimanus.
Enjoy the pics :)

Rough gauge for size increase

I wanted to sex him, but i couldnt since both the males and females pectine tooth count overlaps at 15 - 18, this guy was at 16. Just thought i'd add this incase anyone out there needs to know ;).

i always love the way that the telsons are very light colored almost milky white after they molt

Nice pictures, very clear. It seems that your scorpions molt almost every day!

Well, its not very common that they molt, just that when they molt, they do it all along the same month or so. Here is one of my hottentotta hottentotta, i dont keep track of my HHs as they are all set up in a 30X30X30 cm tank, thus, they are not individually labelled and i dont know who is who.
Here she is in a tupperware box for ease of phototaking

And here is my other H mysorensis, labelled as H myso 2, who molted on a friday, 9th december 2011, molted tgain today. I was expecting this one and my 3rd mysorensis to molt somewhere next week but oh well. This one looks female-esque since her pedipalps are shorter than the first one. But im not sure, gotta wait till adulthood.

Not much of a size increase in terms of pedipalp size...

But body size, quite an increase.

Isn't it funny how I knew? Voodoo powers are rather useful...:D

Enjoy the tripod! It makes pictures much easier to take. Oh, and I have picture requests if you don't mind--could you take some of R. garridoi, H. jayakari, and your terrarium for the R. junceus juvenile? It is a lot, but these species' beauty are exemplified when you take pictures of them!:)
