Emperor Scorpion

[ffollett]

While they are not known for stinging people I don't recommend anyone free handling them like this. You never know what you are going to have an allergic reaction to if you get stung. I have had this girl for a while now and know for the most part when I can mess with her and when I can't, even still I run the risk of her being annoyed enough to sting me.

how long does molting take and how often does it happen?

[RIBBIT]

I would love an emperor they r so nice

[gonesnakee]

Molting "times" are determined by growth rate, same as shedding is in reptiles. Not sure how long a molt cycle lasts as I haven't really kept Scorps before, I'd think a week or less, Mark

Cool. Apparently the adults don't molt.
