...and hopefully I didn't screw anything up! This morning before I left for work, I threw crickets in to all my larger scorps (all ~8mm long, down to the dregs of a "medium" bag of crickets) because it's feeding day, and while my gracilis had looked about ready to pop for weeks now, her apatite hasn't ever wavered- in fact she's probably the quickest on the draw for food of any of them. Just now I was giving everybody a misting, and saw she was out...and also there's ~6-8 brand new baby kittens on her back, at least one of which is nearly white (meaning freshly born?).
She's wild caught, and looked to be gravid at the time, so who knows if this is her first brood or not, but I'm hoping that feeding her (I think I threw in two crickets?) didn't lead to accidental cannibalism of the newborns. :cry: Anyway, I feel terrible about it, this is my first brood and I'm really hoping I didn't ruin it for lack of paying attention. When I fed, she was upside down under her bark and went immediately into feeding stance when I threw the crickets in so I didn't think anything of it for a second.
Anyway, what's done is done. She's always been pretty active, I see her out and about every other day or so..how long until I can disturb her for pictures? I was also literally about to move her into a bigger tank, as the weather here is getting pretty nice and I'm in the process of releasing all the mordax I picked up over the winter that looked gravid, but I don't want to cause unnecessary stress.
