Molting of Heterometrus sp.

The kind Heterometrus moulting (Ecdysis). By Jean Patil 17 August 2008.

For the genus Heterometrus molt this fact usually on the stomach, unlike other species that they operated on the back, or anchored on a branch or bark, molt can occur inside the burrow but more often has the outside of it. In good conditions of temperature and humidity, the complete Ecdysis has a duration of 3 to 8 hours.


-The surprising contractions of the muscles under the new lubricated cephalothorax, tear the front fringe and side of the old cuticle, the contractions are separated by a rest period of a few seconds, this process only takes a few minutes.

-It is followed by the moulting of the chelicera within 5-20 minutes, the Quebec way a human removed these down without hands.

-Once the chelicerae released, contractions of the cephalothorax are more beautiful and this cambre worm back for this defeat of the maxillary group, hips, sternum, of the genital orifice plates pactinifere and pectins, which takes him 1/3 of the full temp.

-Having expanded the passage for reading his body of the exuvia, it begins with trochantes, the pedipalps and the ambulatory legs, it is contractions in contractions, always punctuated by poses like a line of Earth, these tergites and sternites 5.6 and 7 old exuvia is contracting because the metasoma are still has its original place, have see apparetre the femurs of the pedipalps is tordres as of rubber followed brachiums at the same time that the femurs of the ambulatory legs come in suite patellas, Shin, basitarses. The palps have taken one can more time having regard to the fragility of the finger mobile horned screws of the palps, the ambulatory legs are the first out of the exuvia versus the pedipalps, this time the exuvia these compressed worm back.

-There is a section of tergites/sternites 2 and the captive metasoma of the exuvia, to this stage, one or two of the first rings the metasoma are free, the release of the rings and the telson is very delicate, they must past a queue leu leu chaqu' one in its shrinking at the same time or almost so it did not rupture of the metasoma, it is delicate work usually lasts from 30 to 50 minutes, this time on the scorpion deplois these chelicerae, pedipalps and legs which harden to the contact air, he Wiggles the rear train periodically until the metasoma it fully releases the exuvia, last this period have can see the cephalothorax worked and yet, it remains that the prisoner the exuvia metasoma. the end of the process sees the subject separated from its exuvia, the generally white extremities this hue.

-Harden members huddled and pleated to tend and the color of the specimen to the contact air, darken to gradually take the color specific, steel blue, red brick or brown depending on the species began with the body.
