How am I to tell when my little girl (Pandinus Imperator 2md or 3rd instar) is ready to molt?

I apologize for a second thread with another question, but as my little one's guardian I am very obsessive over knowing everything I should have to know about her conditions and requirements.

I tried looking online but all the information I found skirted the basis of my question. I don't know, maybe I'm just too tired to notice the correct information right infront of my face! (It is almost 4:00 a.m. after all). haha.

So, as my thread title states, how do I know when she is getting ready to molt?

Also, how much time is there, typically, between molts/instars?


Thank you very much for tolerating my multiple questions. I assure you there will be an endless supply on my part. I've no intention of acting like I have superior knowledge about the life and care of the creatures I love... yet. haha!

While GS documented Parabuthus and Androctonus, it is similar for all other species too.

Oh-my-gosh so very helpful, haha thankyou.

Don't worry about asking too many questions because I'll learn something from the answers!

HAHA I was looking for a "like" button on your post. Too much facebook? Mi-thinks so. You make a good point, though.

I'm not a facebook person LOL! Thanks though!
