I got a couple of scorpions that I think may be in premolt and I was hoping someone could help confirm if they are

Smeringurus mesaensis, I believe this is in premolt mainly because of its body shape and because its ignoring any food.

Leiurus hebraeus "orange morph", this one is definitely in premolt just from how ballooned up it is.

Hottentotta franzwerneri, I'm not sure is she is in premolt or not, I can't tell or not because of her color and because of her behavior. I've had her for about a month now and she's eaten once and is batting anything away that gets close to her.

Paravaejovis confusus, I doubt it is but I cant really tell cause it's so tiny. It's a 1/4" scorpling.

Scorpio maurus, I believe this is in premolt mainly because of its body shape and because it batting any food away from it.

The first one for sure is not Scorpio maurus. It seems to be some buthid!

I wouldn't doubt they are in premolt. The signs are fattening up, increased inactivity, and refusal of food.

If any of them are already fully mature it's simply full and I would cut down on its food intake once its slimmed down.

The only one that's close to fully mature is the S.Mesaenesis, but it still should have 1 or 2 molts until its mature and the rest range from 1.5" to 1/2"
