What does "instar" mean?
Ok, when a scorpion is born it is considered to be 1st instar. When it molts it will be 2nd instar and so on. Make sense?:)

Yup. Do they molt forever, or just until they stop growing?

AA 12cms, AA (hector)10-11 cms, AA (libycus)9-11 cms, AB 8-9 cms, AB (aeneas)7-9cms,AC's 6-8 cms AM 7-9 cms but usally gets to the 9 cm....everything in the () is a morph hope that helps Raul ow by the way AB's imo seem to be on the smaller size though in the chart i have them before the AM's i cant explain it usally from what i have seen this is the case..though im sure some have different experiances

AM's tend to be bigger...the problem is that it all depends on the location they come from....i have had fully adult AM's reach a larger size then my AB's though lets say for instance chris'es AB's from krazy 8's tend to be larger then some normal AM"s...there really doesnt seem to be a norm..which to me can really get frustrating when doing size comparisons and future mating!!!soo best of luck either way i personally like AM's better but you cant go wrong from any of the darker species of this genus
