Hey there. I just acquired 2 Black Emperor Scorpions, and one of these girls, whom I aptly named 'Mum,' is heavily pregnant.
Or at least I believe so. Her lower sector is very much distended and she's showing a lot of skin. (Har har. First post and I made a funny.)
The other one, named Zodiac, I think is in an earlier stage of pregnancy as she is also bloated, but less than Mum is. I did ask about it but the staff were unsure as to when the last male they had had departed, as these two girls were the only ones available.
Both of them seem rather slow for scorpions and have difficulty catching their crickets, especially Mum.
I did hold it for them and they ate them.
But yes. Is there anything I can do for the pregnant one? Special care?
