Very cool Cliff. I don't think I've ever seen baby scorpions before. The Mom won't eat the babies?

and no the female guards and even feeds her babies by crushing the crix for them.

From what I read that after about 2 weeks you have to take them from mom so she wont eat them. This is my first time with scorpion babies.

Cliff - How are they born/hatched or whatever? I've never seen baby scorpions before. Nice.

well yeah forgot to add that. its just she will protect them now. actually i have a friend who breeds them and he leaves the scorplings in with his Pandinus (adult male and females) until they are half the size of the mom. then agian he feeds them all alot. good luck!
