Anybody have any idea of the amount of time specific species take per instar/in between molts? Not much comes up in research. Specifically I'd like to know about Hottentotta Tamulus and Hadrurus Arizonensis if possible. Thanks! 20210703_191448.jpg

Probably not finding much because moult timing is pretty variable - it's going to depend on food, temperature, etc. Broadly speaking, the older they get the longer the time delay between moults.

Instars of maybe 1-4 can take anywhere between 2 and 8 months to molt depending on food, temperature, stress, and how safe the scorpion feels. Making them feel safe by giving them places to hide may help some.
