lol! yeah I'd be shocked too. I remember waking up and finding my crayfish with a bigger and uglier one next to it. I didn't know that it molted It must feel something like that since I've only owned adult scorpions so far. Got a few pregnant ones though

It's awesome that you got to see it molt! Only thing i'd say is to bump up the humidity in there by pouring some water on the substrate as spraying is ineffective.

thanks for your advice.. will pour more water into the tank.. shld i pour water into one corner of the tank or spread all over it? hope i wun drown it..

all over probably

I pour it all over. Not too much, just enough the darken the majority of the substrate and it won't drown as the substrate will absorb the water.
