Or I think a term used is 'gravid'? Ordered two of these guys because they look REALLY neat and honestly Im scorpion crazy. I really should start posting pics of my scorpions here, anyways. When they came one looked REALLY larger than the other. Also seems more aggressive. Can anyone tell if they think it might infact be expecting? If so care tips for the babies and how many can I expect? Thanks!

if you can shine a flashlight on them and see little "embryos", or small "things" inside of the "gravid" one, separate her into a different enclosure, give her plenty of moisture and a little more heat than usual.

i cant tell too much from the pics. she certainly is big, and they get defensive when close to popping. good luck! I really like this specie :)

I tried shining a light on her and under her, but her sides are brown and she's so small it's really hard for me to see anything. I did however go ahead and separate them for now just incase. =)
