| Yeah it's strange and I think she's going to molt soon, But someone also said it could be pregnant and is about to give birth. I've never seen a scorpion give birth so I have no clue. | |

| could be cos another emp i had was acting strange when gravid but unfortunatly she only had 5 and they all died/got eaten lol ,,,,, just keep an eye on her and play the waiting game lol keep in mind that they can only be gravid when there adults,, if its a sub-adult/juvenile then it will be a pre-molt | |

| It's not hard to raise baby scorpions, as long as you can get small enough prey for them. | |

| When they lift themselves up, and when thEy have their bottoms up in the air they are regulating their temperature, pre molt signs are generally looking very fat/swollen and not eating,

| i was wondering if my desert hairy is in pre molt. three weeks ago i went to florida for a week and when i came back he was fatter than before. for the past two weeks i didnt see him eat even though everytime i placed something inside his enclosure he destroyed it in seconds xD i was wondering how long can this continue if he in fact is in pre molt. if he is this would be my first scorpion molt  i am not sure what i he is because i bought it. | |
