well, I've had a pet scorpion since november of last year "07" and to my suprise, I went to give her the usual batch of crickets....

Well this is what I found, I wasn't quite sure what it was when I looked at here, but at closer examination it was BABIES!!!
Now, I've never had her with another scorpion, so I can only assume that she had been holding onto fertile semen for over 8 months as she had sat at the store before I got her alone for almost a month.

Now I'm hoping someone here knows how to care for baby scorpions. I know they stay on the mom for a while... but nothing beyond that. Suggestions?

Congrats!!! I don't know anything about scorpions though!! Good luck with them.
 
Nice scorp and babies. But go look on the net!!!
 
No scorpions for me. Yours is cool, but if it escaped I would be a little freaked out.
 
I have had this problem before .I seperated the small ones after their first molt with tweezers. seperate them into dellie cups or they will likely eat each other .use peat or other moist moss for bedding.feed them small mealworms for about three more molts then on to crickets.they will reach 2to3inches in about 6monthe good luck
