Howdy,
My wee beasties will be ready to go off on their own as soon as they harden up after their first or second molt? Also, I am planning to separate them all into their own little tank, any tips on how to move them without killing them? Thanks all!

After their first molt (which means they'll be at second instar).

Easiest way to separate is to first remove mom, so you don't have to deal with a venomous pinchy bodyguard. Razz Then scoop them up individually with a spoon.

Also, make sure the 2nd enclosure is ready of course.

Ok cool, thanks guys. Also, how old are the scorplings usually when they go through their first molt? I don't want to be caught in the middle of moving out of college while they are trying to molt. Thanks!

Ranges from 1 week to 2 weeks. You'll know because they'll move off her back on their own.

Alrighty. Sounds simple enough. After they have molted, how long do I need to wait to remove mom? And after that how long until the babies harden enough to be moved? For when I set up tanks for the babies, can I mis potting soil in with the wood chips I have now or is that not reccommendable due to possibility if fertalizers etc.? I'm trying to find some low budget ways to make my emp tank a little bit better for her and the babies when they move out. Thanks All!

I'd say remove mom when they're hard enough to move; just do it all at once.

As for substrate, I'd suggest going with coco fiber or peat moss. Even "organic" soils can have fertilizers or pesticides in them.
