I've had this emperor scorpion for about 3 months now and the tip has always been white. It wasn't until seeing more pictures of other emperors and doing more research that I realize it should be more reddish brown. Has anyone seen a white stinger? Is my scorpion injured? I don't think its white due to molting as I've had him for months. Any input would be appreciated.

It becomes increasingly orange and then red as it reaches adulthood.
