C. hentzi with slings

Cool -- I'll keep her humid (she's in a small KK by herself, the male's in a deli a bit smaller than that) and keep you posted.

Well what do you know? Not two minutes after I shut my computer down, I go check on her and see a lone 2I on her back!

*does happy dance*

when baby comes off her back for a wonder im sure you will leap into the tank and whip the little one out!

xxxxxx

that is great that you have one left
make you keep that sling lilmore moist like i have suggested earlier
they seem do do well for me like that
i use to have the badest time keeping instar barks alive up until a yr and a half ago, now i have it down packed

Right into its own little climate-controlled vial with a piece of bark.

excellent choice of housing bro, i had better success using viles for those early instars compared to lil deli cups, not that i am against those lil deli's, vials seems to me the better way for me

much easier to control the moisture

Not yet, but it's heading straight for the vial when it wanders away.

lol good point conie but i seriously doult she you go postal on mike lol

cool pics

Thanks, 4thGen. I need to get a shot of her with the one that made it to 2I.

Gimme about five minutes.

Edit: Here we go! The second is clickable for zoom.





So what do you think, Mark? Does she look like she could double-clutch?

Dude, she still looks fat bro
i would say there is a good chance of her doing so, but don't hold that to me.

i never had female hentzi still looking fat after she drops her babies but 2 times, they are looks like they went on Jenny Craigs or something, but this one is FAT!!!

do keep us all posted of how this turns out for ya

Dude . . . the babies died. Read a few posts up.

oh....... sorry man i didnt see that.

it's all good scorpion111, things happens

I'll be sure to keep everyone posted on her development. A few months ago (February-ish?) Brian S told me I was heading into uncharted territory with this one and that I should keep track of what happens, because that's how we learn.

The "uncharted territory" was that I'd neglected to give her a wintering period by keeping her warm all winter long. I suppose that's what I get for normally keeping tropical scorps.

bro if you didn't know , than it's really not ya fault. Now that you know, i am pretty sure you will give a cooling off period right.

See i didn't know a thing or even heard of the winterizing scorpions and T's. Now that i know of this i will be doing it this coming winter

Oh, I'll definitely winter her this year. Brian wasn't really upset with me or anything; he seemed to think it was a good opportunity to "see what happens."

Lol at Brian seeing it as a good opportunity to "see what happens". Lab rat much Mike. =p

Anyway, apart from C.hentzi, what other species or genus requires a wintering period?

I guess anything from a temperate climate would benefit from a wintering period. The species that lives in the same area I do, some keepers have been known to put them in the refrigerator for a month or so.

By the way, the little 2I came off her back last night. I need to get him in his own vial today.

All the best to the lil fella and you!

here is my first female i had. she looks super skinny when she had hers, around 25 of them.

How many of yours survived, 4thGen? Mine had a tiny brood compared to yours, which is why I'm hoping she might double-clutch.

a lot of them actually. that was my first scorp so i didnt really know how to care for them. some of them got caught in between those rocks and died. or a larger cricket would attack them. i ended up letting them go.
