| Hiya guys  If i uploaded a picture of my emp would someone be able to give me a rough idea of how old it is or what instar. For now all i can tell you is that its not an adult because his telson if a yellowy cream colour but his exoskeleton is a glossy jet black colour. Thanks again for any help you can offer |

| From the color of the telson and its size, I don't think its a subadult. My guess would be a 4i or 5i juvenile. |

| Is that enclosure, exo-terra faunarium? If yes, my guess is that the specimen might be a 4.instar and 3 molts to go before maturity.
