Emperor Scorpion Babies w/pics

[shotcaller88]

I picked up 2 Emperor Scorpions in late February. They were both female. I picked the fattest/most aggressive of the bunch. About a month ago, the slightly larger female ate the other.
It was an unpleasant discovery. I was showing my cousin with a blacklight. I lifted the hide where the second scorpion was. It wasn't pretty...neon yellow remnants.

Anyway, Monday night I peaked into the little cave and noticed some white stuff. At first I figured maybe she was molting. I have yet to see a scorpion molt. Then I saw the babies. I count maybe 13-15.

not a bad trade-off considering...

i love how the babies look-fat little buggers they are! look like lil pudgy ghosts!

i never thought i would say this of an arachnid, but they are damn cute.

congrats!

congrats on the brood. i counted 14 , but admittedly it was a quick count and doing so from a pic always comes out wrong.
