BABY SCORPIONS WWWOOOOO!!!!!!!

" />

THEASE ARE THE BABYS I JUST DISCOVERED AND THEY ALREADY HAVE THERE COLOR I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE WHITE. I PUT MOM WITH HER BABYS IN A 5 GALLON TANK, AND IM COVERING THE SCCREEN LID WITH A PILLOW CASE CLOTH SO THE BABYS CANT ESCAPE WHEN THEY COME OFF HER BACK

First instar gracilis are quite colorful, even fresh. That's normal man Not all scorpions have white sausages as offspring.

I DID SEE WHITE MOLTS ON THE DIRT ..... DOES THIS MEAN THEY MOLTED WHAT INSTAR DO THEY LOOK LIKE ?????????????????????????

AM I DOING THIS CORRECTLY I PUT THE MOTHER WITH HER SCORPS IN 5 GALLON TANK,,,

I HAVE 2 OR 3 LARGE CRICKETS IN THERE INCASE MOTHER IS HUNGRY

AND WHEN THEY COME OFF HER BACK I WAS GONA PUT MOTHER BACK IN COMMUNAL TANK

AND THEN FEED THE BABYS SMALL CRICKETS

WHEN DO U GUYS THINK THEY WILL COME OFF HER BACK ???????

Two weeks tops. Save some for me

do u still have yours patcho ?

i cut a piece of pillow case cloth and taped it to the screen lid

it fit perfect, so the baby scorps cant escape

and it helps hold in humidity

I do but two died, but I'm looking for some genetic diversity you know Wan't to get some more breeding pairs.

When mine grow up, if I don't have a pair we could trade some around.

Also, be prepared for some second instars to die. Some just won't eat no matter what you give them dead or alive.

That would be cool. And actually, I've never had a baby gracilis refuse a small cricket, haven't tried roaches yet.

ive had a few people ask for some from Arizona

but im afraid to ship them

i don't want them to die in transit

why don't they eat ?

im going to feed mine pin head crickets

The 2 babies just never ate. It was almost as they didn't recognize they prey as food.It happens in nature though and I sort of saw it as natural selection.

Dude plenty of us could give you some tips on shipping, it's no big deal. I've sent 5 packages so far and only had 1 dead on arrival (out of 40+ scorpions). Like I got one from vixvy, and all were in there for 9 days and not a single one died. I had 10 scorpions come to me without a single death.

Mine took to roach nymphs almost immediately...


Sorry for the crappy pic

My second instars take roaches larger than they are down. They're beastly. I've kept them since 2010 and have no intention of stopping. On 3rd generation captive born!
