STATS: She is my girl friends pet scorpion
we had her given to us by my local dealer Dover
Tropicals
As
you can see she is a little fat,over weight so we thought,
but to our surprise only a week of having her she had young.......
We were very excited but we had very little knowledge of rearing
young of a scorpion. After getting lots of help from friends
from the NET we got as much info as possible. What we learnt
is that the young will stay on the back of the mother until
their first molt approx 1 to 2 weeks the mother will do all
the work . If one was to fall off the back of the mother you
may lose it as the mother may mistake it as food. Try not
to disturb them to much as the mother is very protective over
her young. and she may kill them herself as a way of protecting
them. Scorpions may be pregnant for up to 13 months also able
to delay or abort their own young if feeling threatened in
their home
