What is my scorpion doing!?!

Hey guys,

Can anyone point out what this little guy is doing?

It looks like he is laying eggs but the thing is scorpions dont lay eggs!

Any ideas?

They are undeveloped embryos.
Usually the scorpion mum will consume them to "regain loss of energy"
Correct me if i'm wrong.. are those Centruroides sculpturatus?
If yes, i'm guessing it wouldn't be long when she's ready to give you a healthy brood the next round..

Here's another sample of undeveloped embroys:
