Hi Everyone,
At around 12:45 PM today after getting home from work for my lunch break I noticed something weird about my Asian Forest Scorpion (Heterometrus Spinifer). Underneath it there was a moving white thing. After closer examination I realized it was a scorpling! Unfortunately my delight has ended and turned into grave concern because the mother is stuck delivering her fourth scorpling. For the past 8 hours the tip of the scorpling's tail has been sticking out of the mother with no progress in leaving the birth canal. I can see many scorplings still inside the mother and am worried about their health and the health of the mother. Is there anything I can do to help this mother scorpion? I am desperate. I know that I need to give it time and will let it be for the night. If there is no change with the situation in the morning how can I help this visibly struggling mother?
FYI:
Alec

FYI:
- I have raised humidity levels.
- I have slightly raised the temperature.
- I have gently nudged the scorpion hoping that a contraction of the abdominal muscles will help push the little sucker out.
