Is my scorpion is adult or sub-adult? (pic related)

Hi there are the pics give me your thoughts


oh is water munchies or hydrating gel is a good thing or am i better with just plain water?
and last question, if i dont succeed in making two different temperature level between day and night, will it be so bad that i could actually lead my emp to death?

thanks for the answers

use realwater

the temperature will naturally drop at night anyways, just make sure your scorp is cozy.

Edit: actually, can solve this by making one side warmer than the other and have a hide on each side so the scorp can pick.

At first from the picture it looks adult, but it is a light red colour so maybe one more molt left??
What are your opinion guys & girls?

I think that's an adult you have there.

ok thanks (but i hope binksyboy is right hehe)

Adult, regular water. To the best of my knowledge scorps can't "drink" the gel. It's just a useful moisture source for species that don't do well near standing water (read: crickets).

Oh, and not giving a circadian temperature cycle won't kill it . . . also as has been said, the room will probably cool down a bit at night anyway.
