    molting question

    from what i understand scorpions only take about 7 molts (depending on species) to reach full size. what i was wondering since ive never had one molt before is if the grow drastically after molting. unlike the tarantulas ive had who have molted many times before reaching their fulls size and post molt grew just a little every time.

    Here are some images of a few of my scorpions after molting. You can judge the size difference yourself.

    I'm not sure I understand what you're asking

    If you scroll down in the thread linked below there's a picture of a soon-to-molt and a just-molted scorp side by side. It shows the size difference fairly well.

    Once they're done their final molt and become mature (someone correct me if I'm wrong) there is no growth. If they eat a lot they'll get a little fatter, or if they're gravid.
