Molting, put very basically, is the process of shedding the exoskeleton to grow. But how does this happen? The scorpion grows the new exo-skeleton under its old one and once ready the scorpion increases its blood pressure causing the exoskeleton to open up around the carapace. The molting process is a slow, delicate one; be sure not to bother the scorpion while this is happening. It should also be noted that some species of scorpion have requirements, such as slightly raised ...
