Both scorpions are doing well.

I kept them in a 40x40x40cm enclousure until December but I decided to remove the male to eliminate all possible stress factors which could lead to the female laying eggs. She has not eaten anything for about a month now and hides under a stone all the time.
That’s the reason why I only have pics of Brians male. He’s one fat scorpion now. One could almost think that he is gravid and not the female. :rolleyes:

How long does it take for these to mature? Also how long is the gestation periode?

I don't know how long they take to mature but they are slow growers like other Hottentotta spp. Gestation is about 9 month.
