Nice looking broods, Vincent. Just curious, since I've yet to experience parturition in my specimens but would a 1I ever climb on to another mother's back?

Hi Vincent, if I may advise you, let the young together at least during the 2-3 first molts, I am currently keeping my 3rd generation of this species and I noted that there is much less mortality keeping them together.
Cheers

The scorplings of the 2nd females just started the molting process :cheer3: I always find it a strange process as it looks like all the young are dead and hanging at the side of mother. It's also amazing that all scorpling manage to molt when there are so many.



1 freshly molted scorpling on top :)
