breeding Hadrurus sp.

Hey

I'm wondering if some of you had any succes with breeding Hadrurus sp. or have heard about anyone how has ?
Some says it is impossible but hey,nothing is impossible,right ?

I would love to try them in a near furture when I get a little more experience in breeding those I have now so

It is possible but even proffessional breeders have failed, the young usually die during moults etc or just drop dead, possibly some unknown factor we cant replicate in captivity or just havent figured out. Thats even if the babies make it off the mothers back mosto f the time she just eats the babies the next day after birth. Noone knows why.

It Is supposedly hard.. but you should give it a try. I think the trick is to offer moulting scorpions some area in the tank with raised humidity, E.i spray under a rock.

The breeding part seems to go fine.

Raising the young in the past has resulted in failed molts.

But recently it's been noted that instead of having the desert-like humidity, keeping them averagely moist does help with molts.

I read one report where someone had moderate success -- the key thing seemed to be that he left them in the mother's well-established burrow system so they could find the humidity they need.

The trouble was, he was losing a lot due to cannibalism.

I like the way you say it,Mordax I see the problem

I am defently gonna try them in the future,maybe with an humitybox or something if I'm lucky to get some breeding going.
At first I will try and see how it goes with my "possible" gravid female's of Heterometrus scaber (wc) & Mesobuthus gibbosus and if it's a succes I will give Hadrurus a try..It's such a beatyfull scorp
