Removing scorplings

[Peloquin]

I've just moved a piece of Cork bark to check on a H. hottentotta I haven't seen for a week or so and she is covered in babies.
They have moulted and a couple are running around.
Am I OK to seperate them now?

Well unless I'm not wording a search right by putting Hottentotta hottentotta and going through 10 pages of results, there is nothing specific.

Yep if they molted into 2i and are already starting to explore you're good to separate them now.

Thank you for the help.

I usually separate the ones that leave mom's back on their own. The ones that stay might wait a little longer to let the exoskeleton harden after the molt. That being said, there is little harm in separating all of them if you already did, it just causes some more stress for them and the mom, so better to leave them a little longer.

Thank you.
I'll be doing them later today.
