I don't own scrorps. However, I have long thought they were interesting. In fact, I always thought I'd get a scorpion and never a T!
Of course I've seen tons of females with their numerous babies on mother's backs. I looked through videos on-line and I find plenty of scorplings eating when they are on the ground, but I don't understand the transition from off the mother to off on their own. Here are my questions:
1. Do scorplings remain on the mother until they are ready to eat their first meal after birth, and then maternal care is over?
2. If the above isn't true, how do they detect prey if on the mother's back?
