Pregnant scorp

[superbug]

:? okay, i have a question for the scorp experts. i just got home and my very pregnant scorp female is sitting in the middle of the tank with her butt in the air. is she ready to give birth or is just stretching? she's been sitting there motionless for 10 minutes

If I got my visuals right, she is probably "stilting." This means that she is likely to give birth soon -- anywhere from tonight to about three months from now. What species is it?

Cheers,
Dave

She's an Emperor. When I got up this morning she was still out and walking around backwards. (which is very unusual seeing that she doesn't like anyone looking at her)
