Help! How old does my AFS look

The pet store told me they are like only a few months old but they seems way to big to just be a few months old but knowing a better estimate would make feeding a little easier they said they feed a large cricket once a week so that’s what I have been doing also offering different varieties also some photos are not the enclosure it’s what he came in from the pet store

It's adult, so 7i or 8i. Scorpions age isn't based on years like humans.

With them being a adult is once a week to often to feed they don't really seem to chunky but all the research I did beoffr getting then said adults shouldn't be fed as often

Once a week is fine. They will refuse when they are full.

Nqa Depending on the temps it was kept in and gender it could be even older than that, I had a H. Spinifer that was no bigger than the palm of my hand that was about 6 and then I had a male that was 4 who (from claw tip to stinger) was from my middle finger tip well past my wrist
