Isometrus maculatus.

[~Androctonus~]

last time my I.mac. female gave birth, after some time all the slings died.
that's not the 1st scorpion that popping here, i care lots of scorpions spawns here and that's never happened to me. before some days she spawned again.
i want to ask if someone know why all the slings died last time [any assumption] and how can i prevent this to be repeated ?
maybe this genus is too sensitive ?
how can i reinforce they're surviving chance ?

any suggestions are blessed.
thanks.

The details you provided is incomplete, so I will have to clarify them.

Did the slings die before they molted to 2I and left their mom's back?

If not, how did they look like when you found them dead? Did they look dry and straight like an arrow?

Did you feed the mom and the slings?

Did you separate the mom from the slings? When and at which stage?

From my experience, I. maculatus is very easy to breed and raise. This is the first scorp I bred years ago. I lst the first clutch the first time because I failed to feed the mom and she cannibalized her brood. After that experience everything was a piece of cake.

after the 2I.
they look fine, just dead. no, they were not dried. it were enough moisture there.
yes, of course i feed them.
yes, i separate them when they left mother's back.
i gave them dead food, and they ate well. one day i found 1 dead, after some days - 3-5, and then all of them died. no reason. there were not any new material, chemical, anti-insects-spraying, or any change at the basic conditions - moisture, heat, light, etc.
that's the reason i'm so worried that this time that can to happen again - if you have no idea what making that to happen, you can't prevent it..

Almost they all died, again. only 1 left. they all died yesterday, the same time as the last brood. the last died at the same time more or less too, and they were at 5 different places [5 men]..
maybe problem with that female? how can i save the last one ?

I am not sure if this is the information you are looking for, but I guess it is better to have information and not need it than it is to need information and not have it. Here is how I keep my I. maculatus scorplings. The scorplings are housed in 40 dram vials with moist peat moss and a hide, which is at about a 45 degree angle. The vertical hide helps this species in two ways. First, they can regulate the amount of moisture around them by moving closer to the moist peat moss or moving farther up the hide away from the moist peat moss. Secondly, they use the vertical hide when molting. I feed mine about twice a week and they are kept around 80F. Hope this helps.
