Life is full of suprises

Congratulations.

Most emperor scorpion females are sold pregnant.

She should carry the eggs until their first molt.
Most of the time emperor scorpions are fairly good parents. in some cases I believe they can eat the babies.

Leave them with her until they are up an walking on their own.

Then you can seperate them if you wish, and their care does not differ from adult scorpions much at all. Just keep the tank warm and humid.
I gave the babies some fine coconut fibre to burry themselves.

You just need to find really small pinheads to feed to the babies.

That's all the info I can give from my experience. It worked out for me.
Good luck! and congrats!
 
I have left the babies with the mom, and haven't lost one yet. I managed to count them all a day after I saw them cause she was out eating crickets. 14 total.
She seems pretty protective cause any time I've gone near the cage either to mist or give water, or do anything else around the tank she's sitting there with her tail raise and claws open ready to strike at anything the messes with her. I'm just hoping the babies all end up surviving.... heh, they all already have homes lined up if they survive.
 
They should be fine, they are hardy.

I wanted to point out that I made a mistake in my post:

I said she'd carry the eggs untuil first molt.

I meant that she will carry the babies until the first molt.

If you take them off the mother before they get off on their own, you'll be doing more harm than good. :)
