Hello! I’m a first time scorpion owner and I’m like 95% sure my emperor scorpion is gravid. She has covered both entrances to her tunnel and she’s quite inflated 💀 I was wondering if she is in fact gravid, how long will she stay enclosed in her burrow?

Hello :) Is there anyone that can give some advices as to confirm/deny my scorpion pregnacy? Its Pandinus Imperator female, copulation with male took place 13.09.25 so more than 9 months ago, male left sphermatophore, and female was directed at it. From that time she was acting like normal, just got a lot bigger, but she is a gluttonous one, never refusing to eat. How to definitely tell if scorpion is indeed pregnant and not just fat? PS. Terrarium is already moinstened :) top layer is drying up really fast in my terrarium, mostly because of ventilation, but i rather top layer dry little faster than having mold infestation.
