Ok well its not eggs of another creature i can tell you that, as for spores or fungi i dont understand why it would just grow there, they dont seem to be attached to the substrate in anyway, just laying there |

| don't worry about it. It's looks like mould to me or fungus. The scorp won't be guarding it either, just in a position where it looks so. Nothing to worry about  |

| If you want to. That's what i would do. But they pose no threat, so i would take them out anyway rather than let it grow some more.  |

| Anything unusual like that should always be removed.
We occasionally get fungus (mushrooms) growing in tanks, usually from a contaminated coir blocks. |

| Wish i could, unfortunatly i just bunned them all in the bin as advised lol, the one i found over by the female is right where she was eating a locust the night before and is usually where she hides so it could well be she ate it, poop, i find it lol.
But that still wouldnt explain why i managed to find about 5 in one place by the male which i never noticed before, so either i kept missing them when i looked under the hide everyday, or they all popped up at once, im not 100% sure but from what i think i know scorpions dont poop that often either?
If i find more will try get a better picture |
