So Mr. Mantids I have NO scorpion for 2 weeks!

Excellent planning!

Best of luck with these guys.

so i had a look at the side where you can see her in the burrow. sorry Mike i had to. just to se but NO MORE. i just wanted to show you all the cuteness:lol:

HAHA your as excited as i am eh?!lol i couldnt resist checking on her either

its like putting sweets in front of a kid and saying... do not touch.... ya know they're gunna!

true.
i havent checked today but its still early i need to stop thinking everythings going to go wrong. if i can have Pandinus babies i thhink i can handle some Hets...

yeah i checked on her(before i knew she had babies on her back) and i dug her out of her burrow to check if she was still alive...she was..and with kids..im thinking she ate two out of stress sooooo...i learnt my lesson

but my 5 are all going good...for now..i hope yours are gonna be good and strong too

i stoped checking so. kinda put it in my head not to care but i will care in anothere 2 weeks!

took about hmm if i remember right 1 week and 5 days for mine...temps were always above 80F and humidity was sky high!

best of luck to my fellow Canadian daddy of spinifers

well i had myself a look and a few of them look like the have molted but are still white and clinging for comfort, all moving about makes me smile and she is covered makes me think the ten is more of a low 15!

So I covered her up and in about another week or so ill look again.
remove them and feed them. being a daddy is fun. and i think another p.imp is gravid. wahoo!

soon i will have too many scorplings to count. it'll be like shopping at the bulk store

We fed my het grrl with the babies off the back. We tonged a hopper in to the entrace of the cork bark hide and she grabbed it, killed it and the babies fed from it.

She WILL protect her young and she WILL offer to feed them before herself

So i took the camera in and snaped three pics with the hut off. sadly i see one dead on the front. also the amount of babies is decieving there all in the bottom of the burrow.

Congrats!

i love it when they first shed... mum looks like she has been in the sun to long and has peeling skin lmao!

re homed them today. there so tiny

sweet pic. it looks almost transperant.

so i went for a lil search for them today and i only found four....
i dont know where the rest are but i think there ok, i fed them some pin head crickets and they readily ait them up so i dont think there was any cannibalism.
