Hi Tom
someone just alerted me to the Scorpion files profile on Microtityus jaumei, which has 3-7 babies per year, so wouldnt this apply to other species, seeing they all come from Cuba???

i saw the pic on your website, and thats ALOT more than 3-7........
just a big brood??

very nice scorps :p

Very cool. I didn't realize how tiny they were until I noticed that the substrate in the background was pieces of vermiculite! Incredible!
