Well unfortunately my long time scorpion past away yesterday. He was a large male Emperor, which I had for 5 years almost to the day.
I have been trying to figure out approximately how old he was when he died. From what I can research online, it seems that to reach adulthood (final molt) takes about 4yrs, if that is true. He was an adult when I got him, and never molted for me. So if he was at least 4 when I got him, and spent 5 years with me, obviously that would make him at least 9+yrs old. Does that sound reasonable?
Anyway, RIP little guy, you had a good run!
