In May of 2007, I had two scorpions, Isis and Elmo; one female and one male.
Around late June or early July of 2007, Isis ate Elmo. I never really wondered why.
Around December of 2007, Isis got fat and turned out to be gravid.
May 5th, 2008, Isis gave birth to 16 scorplings.
She ate a few and I lost a few somehow, and I have 13 healthy scorplings. I probably lost a few when I was separating them from their mother.
July 18 they are starting to molt into their 3rd instar. 3rd instar on the left and 2nd instar on the right.
As of right now, there are two left that are about to molt into their 3rd instar.
The odd thing is that somehow the conditions have been perfect for them and they are molting well. I haven't even been trying that hard to but it stays 85 degrees F and a 90% humidity in their enclosure.
I have a question though: At what instar can I start to ship these little guys. I plan to sell them to local pet shops in my area and I will probably end up posting in the Classifieds in a few weeks.
Thanks in advance.
