Hello! So first off, it's definitely scorpion baby season because I've had multiple broods within just a few weeks of each other. I have two pregnant Paravaejovis spinigerus, the first one gave birth June 15th, and as of a few days ago all 60 of her babies have come off and been separated. My second Paravaejovis spinigerus seems to be having a rough time of it though, she started giving birth June 25th, she had two babies on her back and maybe 4 or 5 more in the substrate that didn't make it on her. After that she hasn't given birth to any more, and I can still *see* embryos in her so I know she hasn't finished yet. I've been trying not to disturb her to see if she'll continue at some point, from what I can tell nothing got stuck in her operculum so I don't think it's anything like that, and as of right now she's walking around and acting normally and the two on her back are still doing fine, not like she wants to continue labor any time soon (she hid away for the first batch). Any ideas? I figure I probably can't do anything to intervene either way, just wondering if this was a known occurrence.
