Guyz,

How often do scorps (H.spinifer specifically) mate?:?
How many times per year?

Thanks :worship:

Well the gestation is usually 6-8 months, so I believe most likely once a year.

:( How bad once a year. :(

Then the maximum age of a adult spinifer? 4 years? :confused:

What month do you think they most likely mate?

thanks Deolok

I am sure the average life expectancy of a spinifer is alot longer than 4 years. I have had one specimen for over 5 years.

Unless captive raised, it is virtually impossible to age an adult scorp.
