Hey all, just went to feed our female emp tyni and was shocked to find her covered in babies am very happy

Congrats and well done!

thank you im so chuffed it meens she did manage to mate with our first ever scorpion the male emp called tank which died after a month of us getting him so he lives on in these babies its awesome

Indeed. Very exciting stuff.

right now i need to count them...any guesses before i do? winner gets free emp lol (if your near the uk of course)

Congrats Bex! I say 28! But I'm willing to pay though, if you agree to send a couple over here

dont see why not not sure of the regulations but ive had them come into the uk fine

Cool

As long as you can get them out, I won't have problems in getting them in

Bugger, Pluto had my number so I'll go for..... ummmm.... 18.

Emp babies are soooooooo adorable!!!!!

I'd better go 16 then!

my emp looks like your lady in the old post when you were asking about molt or gravid,sooo fingers crossed.

congrats!

Congratulations !!! Very cool !!!

Thanx everyone

Jamie you and mark automatically get one each anyway lol I owe you two

So what do I do with them do you think once off mum remove and keep them together??? Just leave them with mum?? Or separate them all?? Don't want any dying really seeing as emps are only gonna get rarer what to keep the breeding going got the other couple of emps in the big tank too hopefully they have done the deed by now too

Hey all little update most of Tynis babies have molted to 2i yay got some pics to share

Baby Pics:

cute...........but they will all grow up to be killers

You said "most". Are there some that still haven't? How can you tell? LOL, I can't even see them all on there...............

yeah there is one or two left that havent molted if you go back to page one and look at the pics there you should be able to see the difference they was all proper podgy/fat looking now they have molted they are much more defined and skinny ...actually will post a before and after pics here

Great looking brood, Bex. Maintaining one or two large enclosures would probably be less work than maintaining a
couple dozen deli cups, so I'd try to keep them all with mom, or perhaps, keep half with mom and half in a separate
enclosure. I'd also keep some deli cups on hand just in case they don't get along. Rather than being a truly
communal species, I think emps simply tolerate each other. I've never raised a brood before, so take my advise with
a grain of salt.

Yeah I plan to keep them all together will remove mum after a while and put her back in with put other two emps
