I was just wondering how long it usually takes an Emp to moult from a Sub Adult to and Adult? Months? A year? More?

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/26/2010, 7:48 pm

i believe it depends on the condition their being kept and humidity

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/26/2010, 7:49 pm

hmmmm, what about at perfect conditions Razz

?

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/26/2010, 7:52 pm

depends on the scorpion...remember no two are alike =)

I just want mine to moult already! I want babies!!!

lol i came to the conclusion that if i wanted a baby scorp, i had to go buy one lol

I have my sub adult in perfect conditions I bought him as a sub about 4-5 months ago and he still hasn't molted. So you can say at least half a year. If you want babies just go to a petshop and buy a gravid female

It just depends on the individual. Take two of my emperors for example; They are both kept in exactly the sme conditions but one isn't very fat and so isn't anywhere near to molting while the other molted the other day to 5i after being HUGE for ages. (They are the same age)

Can't you ask them to special order them?

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 4:10 pm

I'd hate to imagine the prise for a special order when they were 40$ to start with.

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 4:14 pm

emps for 40$!!!!!

**** That....
i dont pay more than $20.00 for an emperor

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 4:15 pm

i had to throw down 40$ for each of my two..hence i'm gonna wait for the babies...lol

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 4:19 pm

dude that is crap...
i wouldnt pay 40 for a scorpion thats probably the least venomous in the world

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 6:19 pm

Lol dude i paid $11 american at a local pet store. Even the pet co's here carry them and they only charge $17 american..... I'm buying some Florida Barks from my local pet store and they said it will only cost me $32 for a male and female...They arnt even making me pay shipping.

Everything is so rare in canada, we don't really have much of a breeding community in canada either as far as I can tell. As I have been looking vigorusly for one.

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 8:52 pm

Why dont you just buy it from the states here in cali and have them ship em to you?

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 8:54 pm

I actually asked an online dealer if he would do that and he said customs wouldn't let him or something. If you someone could helpme find a dealer that can it'd be awesome.

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 9:19 pm

not even from like Washington state or utah...you know somewhere that borders canada?

Subject: Re: How long to moult 4/28/2010, 9:44 pm

I dunno, maybe I could get someone to smuggle them!
