Got C. Sculp babies!

Got my first babies. The mom came to me gravid & I have 3 others to expect. Ive seperated her into another enclosure & am reading everything I can find on care of her & babies. Kim

Where are the pictures please?

Thats great! Congratulations! I too hope to become a parent someday . Still waiting to find a male P. Imperator though hehe.

Possible future marketing of babies

Sweet! This is a species I've been looking to expand on. They key thing to remember is that they're not communal when young (only as adults).

Are your adults only females? I have two males if you'd like to arrange a trade.

We can do a trade. I would like mostly males or females in my community. So I was planning on keeping all of the gravid females out during & after birth into another anclosure until I stopped having births in the first one. Then only put in maybe 1-2 females or none at all. If you want, you can have the female I have now with a dozen or so babies on her back or look at my enclosure & see what other ones are females. I would even be ok with trades for other species. Let me know. Kim

When I get some babies I will definately send one/some to you if you wish. Hell, depending on where your at in IL I might just deliver them myself lol.

If you could let me know, I at one time, was stationed at Fort Campbell so Kentucky is an old friend persay.

I hail from round abouts Ballard county. I will hopefully get a male P. Imperator in a week or so. After that it`s a waiting game as I am not sure how old they must be to breed. Heck I don`t know how fast they grow! My oldest female is a 5i if that helps.

Thanks for responding "T". Usually on the P. Imperatos, you can tell their mature by the brown telson.

Ok you two, this has wandered pretty far off from Kim's original posting about awesome scorp babies. Please take it to PM.

I think its so funny, my threads almost always get hijacked.


I end up getting the info I need anyways & I love the banter but Mod said go so thanks to everyone for answering my thread. Kim

^It's always frustrating when that happens. I hate it when I realize I do it.

Sorry for the hijack, I get carried away easily lol. About how big do C. Sculps get? Are they desert or tropical? I`m thinking of getting some of them. That or C. Vitattus.

Desert, bark scorpions, about 2" or so.

Centruroides vittatus: the adult scorpion is about 2 ½ inches long and sincere aplogees for the "hijack".

No opology needed. I enjoy the replies, discussions & hijacking, lol. My questions & comments get answered in a completely different way & I learn something I hadnt planned on. Kim

^I suppose that works.
