14 Scorplings!!!

A couple of months ago I posted an operculum pic asking if it was male or female

I was told it was most likely a male but just now my wife noticed a scorpling in the tank. So I took all of my stuff out of the tank and slowly started digging to find 14 babies in there. They look like 2nd instar and super cute. I had to separate them from the adults and have all of them in a communal tank. I will go buy some pinheads on Monday.

What should I use to take the scorpling skins off the moms back?

congrats on the newly molt..........

the little scorpling will leave their mum's back onw it own after it move down ... preoare smaller container to house the scorplings
do post some pics ....

dont disturb em if the baby is still on the back
momma's gonna get pissed and eat the baby


i think u should just leave the skins there..
it'll fall off eventually

The old exos on the mother's back should fall off eventually, but that didn't happen with mine.
About 7 months after she gave birth, I just carefully used tweezers to get as much of it off as possible.

I would have guessed female from the pic

Well, congrats man! I can't wait for mine to give birth as well!

And yes, do post up pics

Ill try and post better pics when I get a chance and yes they already left the mothers back. Thats why I had to dig to find them. Man is she aggressive! I would hate to be pinched She put deep dents in a bamboo skewer. She is extremely fast. Way faster than I have ever seen her move before.






^^ This one is under a rock^^

congratulations dude...
i cant wait to watch the baby i bought grow up =)

Thanks! I am gonna keep all of them I am so excited.

Ill try to get some better more clear pics soon

That last picture is so damn cute!!! How fun that you were totally surprised. Keep us posted.

They really are so cute. They run super fast and cling to my skin good.

I want to start breeding and raising scorpions just for the fun of it. I might go looking for another gravid female
