hey guys, i noticed today(and i think it has) that my emps telson has gone paler, is there any reason to this?? or is it not meant to happen at all? it is normaly a dark red/brown but it was alot more of a creamy colour when i cheked on her earlier?? any idea would be great, thanks guys:D

poo?

The actual colour of the telson itself wouldn't have changed. The only thing i can think of would be poo like what H.laoticus said.

my P. imperitor had a color change to its telson, when i first bought her she had a dark colored telson, brick red. i went through a few set-up changes and in the last enclosure change she hid for over a month. when i did see her again she had a cream telson. no exuvia to be seen and no size difference. i thought at first she may have been gravid but now i think she is still sub-adult.

Maybe she had something stuck on it? They do go from cream to brown/red when they do their final molt but not vice versa - at least i'm pretty sure they don't

hmmm thanks guys, and i think my emp is gravid too, she is quite big now, could that be the reason and what do you mean by poo?? lol that really confused me hahaha

oh sorry hhahah

well, I said poo since scorpions have white droppings and when fresh, they're like white-out marker texture and can get on anything, like the telson.

do you have any pics by any chance?

i do have some pics il upload latter for you but it seems to be back to its normal dark red/brown colour now:S, it might have been my eyes or something stupid like that, but thatnks for all the advise:D
