I didn't realize that Liocheles australasiae were parthenogenetic, so I was very surprised to see the scorpion I've had since it was a baby who has never been paired has babies on her back!

Not only is this the first time I've had scorpion babies (is there a proper name for that? Nymphs?) This scorpion is my first and only scorpion I've ever owned.
I guess I must have done a pretty good job caring for her, lol

If I'm not mistaken these scorpions are communal right? So the babies can live together without problem?
Oh and is there anything special I need to know about caring for these tiny babies?

Very cool picture!
You can seperate them when they come off the mothers back.

Even if communal, once in a while they'll eat one of their own.
