Based on your experience in Heterometrus longimanus breeding, how many scorplings does each of the scorpion can have? And also, are H. Longimunus parthenogenetic? I don't have any gravid females, just asking.

Can't completely answer the first question, though I'd estimate in the 20-40 range. They are not parthenogenetic.

Thanks,

Yeah I can't really answer the first question either, but it varies depending on environmental factors/food supply. And like Arthroverts said, they're not parthenogenetic. They have the ability to withhold becoming gravid for months (especially if WC).They get pregnant when the conditions are right, which gives the impression they are parthenogenetic.
