I got a breeding pair from G. Carnell (George) last Feb '07. The female was supposed to be gravid. This is the most beautiful heterometrus in my collection.

The scorplings molted to 2I last 06/30/07
exuvium
They left their mom's back the following day 07/01/07. So I took out the mom and gathered her babies.
Mom
Babies! Total of 19.
They already ate pre-killed crickets and are very active.
Here's the little bugger.
I'm not risking cannibalism so I am separating them into individual containers soon.

I will continue this thread to monitor their growth. I will post pictures for every successful molt.
