Hi guys! Just a quick update. I have at least two new members of my scorpion family!
I saw 2 baby scorpions today. They are already walking on their own. I cant get a good look on their mother now so I am not sure if there are more scorpions on her back...
Ok the story goes like this.... About two weeks a go...I did not see my scorp for a few days... And I was getting kind of worried because she would come out at least every other day at night and walk around. If not at night then I usually see her in the early morning resting on the rock. Anyway after not seeing my scorp for at least 5 days I decided to put some food in the tank. She got out the day after and caught the cricket. Day after that i saw her roaming around the tank. (I am thinking well look at her she saw food and now she is looking for more.) I dont have the best view of the tank ATM but I dont recall seeing anything on her back that day...) So I waited a week and droped 2 crickets and a caterpillar. After 2 days I saw this...
At first glance I thought caterpillar died on me and left the guts on the rock or something. (I had sometimes snails dying in my storage container and looking like they exploded or something.) And then I come closer and saw this little fella is holding him! HAHA! And I thought I will have trouble feeding them.
Not sure did he catch the caterpillar by himself but I am happy seeing him eat!
Ok that is it for now.. I gotta figure out how to transfer these guys in another tank, they are so tiny!
So i wanted to ask are they really growing that fast? I am surprised that they somehow managed to be born and 1 or 2 weeks after that are able to leave their mothers back already...
(Ou yeah I forgot to mention... I cought some big smart [buttocks] grasshopper. He is always on the high ground, on top of the glass or on the hygrometer. After seeing the baby scorps I decided to put him on the ground. I accidentally broke one of his leg, but he still managed to get up on the glass did 360 all around the tank and back on the hygrometer. Sly bastard. )
PS. Looked at the mother this morning, she caught that high and fly grasshopper. No babys on her back. I saw a white one too so there a definitely 3 baby scorps at least. I will see on the web should I put them in their own container or is it too early for that....
