I have a MM and a MF that molted a week ago. I'd like to try breeding them. How long should I wait to put them together?

I always wait at least 2 weeks and until the female is totally full (not eating any more) before trying to mate any of my scorps

not sure if its the best way, but it works for me!

Take care that from what I remember the female is prone to killing the male after mating in Parabuthus!
though you'll get what... 80 scorplings out of it? hehe

Cant say I've had that happen in the 2 years I've kept my adults together. Never had a case of cannibalism, they love to share hides and mate constantly. They're incredibly social creatures!
