My Tityus Discrepans

Hi, I found this one at home in Venezuela about 3 months ago. can anyone tell me how long do they take to molt?

It depends. The last one to two molts of a bark scorpion may take 2-6 months, or even longer in certain situation.

If it's an adult, it'll not molt again.

I agree with Mr. I there. It looked potentially full grown to me too can you take a semi clear picture with a ruler or standard sized item beside it or held up to the glass. Determining the actual size goes a long way in determining age.

Ok I this is the best pic a could take because something hapened to my camera and I had to use my phone. its about 4.5 cm, and I have a smaller one which is about 3.5 cm.

Is there any way of knowing it´s by sex looking at the pics? I don´t know how to look under them, or grab them. :S

Can't advice much on the sexing method as this species is not among my specialty. 

From what I have observed, most sexing methods performed on bark scorpions are never "under" as most would have their number of pectine teeth overlapping between male and female.

And, it's never a good idea to "grab" them, even if it means by using tongs.. especially not for reason such as this. As there's a risk of hurting the scorpion, and even yourself in the process. The scorpion might also run lose accidentally..

Don't mind me for being direct.. just being on the lookout for you.

Cheers.

Thanks for the advise Mr. Invert. Well if anyone can give me more information it will be much appreciated!

I believe the "key" for sexing these will be in the pedipalps as with other spp. of Tityus.

Cae85, are you able get a close-up of the pedipalps of both your specimens?
