weird molting

I'm not positive but I think my emp is &bout to molt. What is weird tho is that he has been fairly active and eating even tho somwhat irreguler compaired to normal. My questions are what should I look for and how should I change his tank to help him through. I think he is about to because the ends of his pinchers have turned white and it seems to be sp1eading. If +e is molting im assuming i2 will be one o5 his la$t. His stinger is dark orange. Sorry for messed up words this is done on my phone.

If he's about to molt, he shouldn't be active. Try not to shift him around.
Keep the substrate well dampened and temperature at 80-90F.
Pictures would help to analyse more accurately.

Ya I thought it was odd too. I won't mess with him but if he does come out I'll try and get pictures.

Sometimes they burrow through the sides of the enclosure wall and even right to the bottom where they can be "exposed" using a black light during the night. Just a thought.

Keep us updated

I think I know hire I can get a Pic. Gonna have to put a link to my Facebook tho sense my phone and this forum don't get along. Will post link when I get it.

That link should take you to the picture. Let me know what you think. It's not a very good picturr but it's the best I could do.

Good effort but visitors who aren't login to facebook might not be able to view it?
Possible to do some permission settings?

If not, may i suggest using image hosting site e.g photobucket, flicker etc

its hard to tell but the end of his claws have turned almost a paste whit. anyone ever seen that before. his belly is like a turqoise also.

Do you mean that the tip of the chelae only whitens recently?
I'm not sure what it was but it does not seem to be a phenomenon prior to a molt.
If it is a way of lossening during a molt, it's most likely to be "browning" of the outer exoskeleton due to the absence of the "flesh".

What does the 2nd part on the "turqoise" means?

I'm not sure what the white tipped chela means but I don't think it points towards a molt.

"turquoise" is a greeny blue colour. Which is pretty strange for the underside of a scorpion to be that colour.

lolz.. i was just wondering why was it on the underside as well.

i think the underside might of been that way because of the flash light i had used to look at him. because its gone now. same as the white tips. got a good look at him today and everything is back to normal.

Good to hear that.

As suggested by Jay, you may wish to try and capture some shots under natural sunlight.

The difference in result is usually satisfying

I posted some good pics in the picture form. It's titled stryker
