| yeah there is no reason to keep em together so seperate, and trying to remove the male may stress the female if shes heavily pregnant | |

| How close do you think she is?
Mine before the male died would push him out the hide it was then 4 months after his death that she birthed.
After he died I noticed she was performing the birth basket but again it wasnt until another 2 months when she did that and then 2 months later babies...
And my male died BEFORE i even knew she was gravid! She was still slimish!
After he died that was when she began to expand and even though I thought she was just full, it was only when she didnt feed and got bigger and became agressive to even ME that I knew something was happening but wasnt sure...until 1 morning she was covered in babies! | |

| If you find scorps near where you're at, don't keep 'em toghether -- P. boreus are pretty cannibalistic. | |

| Just try to mimic the habitat you've found them in. They're typically from dry, cooler areas at high elevation. I had one but not for very long; it was quite feisty and often dug out shallow scrapes under hides. | |
